Free Port Forwarding Guides & PFConfig: Forward Your Ports Automatically
The Default Port Forwarding Guide for the Dlink DSL-302G
To setup port forwarding on this router your computer needs to have a static ip address.
Try our free PF Setup Static IP Address Program which will setup a static ip address for your computer.
Or you can take a look at our Static IP Address guide to setup a static ip address.
When you are finished setting up a static ip address, please come back to this page and enter
the ip address you setup in the Static IP Address box below.
Do not skip this step!
Open a web browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox. Enter the internal IP address of your router in the address bar of your browser.
If you do not know your routers internal IP address please read our How To Find Your Routers IP Address guide.
In the picture above the address bar has http://www.google.com in it. Just replace all of that with the internal IP address of your router.
By default the IP address should be set to 10.1.1.1.
You should see a box prompting you for your username and password. Enter your username and password now.
By default both the username and password are admin. Click the Ok button to log in to your router.
Please visit our Default Router Passwords page if the username and password shown above do not work for you.
Click the Services button near the left of the page.
You should now see a new menu. In this new menu, click NAT.
Select NAT Rule Entry from the NAT Options drop down box.
Click the Add button near the bottom of the page.
Select RDR from the Rule Flavor drop down box.
Enter a number that has not yet been used into the Rule ID box.
Leave IF Name set to ALL.
Use the Protocol drop down box to select the protocol type of the ports you are forwarding.
Enter the ip address to forward these ports to into the Local Address From and Local Address To box. If you are forwarding ports so you can run a program on your computer, you should enter your computer's ip address into that box.
Try entering 0.0.0.0 into the Global Address From and Global Address To box. 0.0.0.0 stands for any assigned IP address. When you enter that number, it should mean whatever external IP address has been assigned to my router. If that does not work you will have to enter your external IP address manually. This is a problem because your external IP address can change. When it changes, those ports will not be forwarded properly.
Leave Destination Port From, Destination Port To and Local Port set to Any other port.
If you are forwarding a single port, enter that port number into the Destination Port From, Local Port and the Destination Port To boxes. If you are forwarding a range of ports, enter the lowest number of that range into the Destination Port From, Local Port box. Then enter the highest number of that range into the Destination Port To box.
When you are finished, click the Submit button.
Click the Admin link near the left of the page.
You should now see a new menu. In this new menu, click Commit and Reboot.
And that is it! You are done!
To test if your port has been properly forwarded, you can use our Port Checker tool.
