Router forwarding

Post by thewolfe »

Router forwarding

I would like to see my computer from a friend's and visa versa.

He has a Belkin 54g router and I have a Linksys.

I know the port and the ip address but can't seem to make it work.

I am using "Remote Administrator".

On Belkin's website they have the "Firewall virtual server" page that has a 2 boxes for "Inbound port", a "Type" lilk TCP, "Private IP address and "Private port".

What settings do I need to enter?

The RadMin program works inside the router from one of my computer to another but not outside the router.

What are you tryign to forward? Are you just trying to be a HOST server? If so, then in your router setup, look for a PORT or FORWARD tab and enter in the ports needed to forward and also the LAN IP(192.168.1.x) of your PC.

Does that make us both hosts?

In "Radmin" it gives me the port and I just have to add the IP address.

Is that the port I would use in the Forward area?

On the above Forward info, where do I enter the port. "Inbound" or "Private port"?

Sorry, this is all "Greek" to me.

Are you trying to see his drives or folders? Like file sharing? If so, then you have to add "File & printer sharing" in your NETWORK icon of the control panel. Then you must SHARE the drives/folders then you can double click your network neighbourhood and browse for your friends PC.

Is this what you want?

I think what he wants is a VPN between the two computers.

that doesn't tell us anything.

Is there any reason you need to messing around inside your friend's machine remotely?

if you want have control over your friends computer with radmin, he needs to intall the serverpart of r-admin, you need to start the client part of radmin.
(client controls server)

in the radmin client part you put in the ip of your friend and try to connect. be sure your friend has the default port forwarded on his router (4889, i think)

I think the "default port forwarded" is what I need to do but don't know how.

I have it running on my 3 computers at home with no problem but they're all behind the same router.
