Free Port Forwarding Guides & PFConfig: Forward Your Ports Automatically

Configuring the Port Trigger Application

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.

Configuring your Router to work with Port Trigger.

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 http://192.168.1.1:8080.

You should see a box prompting you for your username and password. Enter your username and password now. By default the username is manager, and the password is friend. Click the Ok button to log in to your router.

In the menu on the left hand side of your screen, click the Security button.

Click the Dynamic Port Opening link on this page.

On this page click the New Dynamic Port Opening button.

We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to configure your router. Brothers in Arms Online requires you to forward the 40000-43000,44000,45000-45001 ports. Go ahead and enter the settings shown above into the firewall add dynamic port opening menu.

You need to allow the ports through the firewall of your router, disable the firewall, or set the firewall setting to low depending upon which ports you want to be forwarded. Eventually a guide will be written on our firewalling page, detailing how to do this.

Click the Save Configuration link on the left hand side of your router. Use this page to save your routers settings. Then reboot your router for the new settings to take effect.

And that is it! You are done.
