This guide allows you to use our Port Trigger application along with the port triggering section of your router to forward ports.
Open up the Port Trigger application, and click New button to configure a new rule.
Put a name of the program you are forwarding ports for in to the Application Name box. It doesn't really matter what you put into this box, but something that will remind you why this configuration is here would be a good idea. Click the Autoset button to get an external ip address. Alternatively you can enter any ip address that is outside of your network, in to the Target Address box. Enter the trigger port to use into the Trigger Port box. Once again it doesn't really matter what port you use here. You can pick any random port to put into the Trigger Port box, or just leave at it's default setting. Select the protocol to use by clicking the UDP/TCP radio buttons. Once again it doesn't really matter what protocol you select, but you do need to remember which one you chose. Later on in this guide, we will be entering the selections you chose here into your router. The Delay box tells the Port Trigger application how often to send the packets. If you have problems, like the ports not being forwarded all the time, you should decrease the number in the delay box.
I need you to fill in the boxes below, with the values you entered into the Port Trigger application. Entering the requested values will allow this guide to show you exactly how to configure your router.
Most ISPs block the default port that Azureus uses. So it is a good idea to change Azureus' port number to something other than the default port. Here's a brief walkthrough on how to do that.
In Azureus click Tools in the menu at the top of your screen. Then click the Options link in the menu that drops down.
In the menu tree on the left hand side of this window Connection should be selected. Pick a random port between 49152 and 65535. Then enter that port into the Incomming TCP/UDP Listen Port box. When you are done, be sure to click the Save button at the bottom of the configuation screen.
Please enter the port you chose for Azureus below.
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 192.168.0.1.
I do not know the default username and password for your router. If you know them, please use our Comments page to let us know what they are. Thanks!
The next screen that appears is the Main Menu. Click Advanced at the top of the screen.
Now you should be looking at the Advanced Menu. Click Multi Mode Applications in the menu on the left.
We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how setup port triggering on your router. Go ahead and enter the settings shown above into the Applcations menu. When you are finished entering those settings, click the Apply button to apply the changes.
You should save your settings and restart the router to make sure the settings take effect. It is also a good idea to make sure that the ports you have forwarded are allowed through your firewall.
