Port Forwarding for the Thomson/Alcatel SpeedTouch 546


What is Port Forwarding?
What is Port Triggering?




 

To setup port forwarding on this router your computer needs to have a static ip address. 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 Netscape. Enter the ip address of your router in the address bar of your browser. In the picture above the address bar has http://www.google.com in it. Just replace all of that with the ip address of your router. By default the ip address should be set to 10.0.0.138.




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.




Click the Toolbox button near the left side of the page.




Click the Game & Application Sharing link near the left side of the page.




Click the Create a new game or application link near the bottom of the page.




Enter the name of the program into the Name box. It doesn't really matter what you put into this box, but something that will remind you why these ports are being forwarded would be a good idea. Put a dot into the Manual Entry of Port Maps radio button.

Click the Next button near the bottom of the page.




Use the Protocol drop down box to select the protocol type of the ports you are forwarding. If you are forwarding a single port, enter that port number into the Translate To, Top Port Range and the Bottom Port Range boxes. If you are forwarding a range of ports, enter the lowest number of that range into the Translate To, Top Port Range box. Then enter the highest number of that range into the Bottom Port Range box. When you are finished, click the Add button.

Click the Apply button near the top of the page.

Click the Assign a game or application to a local network device link near the bottom of the page.




Use the Device box to choose a computer to forward ports to. This box contains a list of computer names that are visible on your network. Select the application you created using the Game or Application drop down box. Then click Add to enable it.

And that is it! You are done!
