port forwarding

Greek · 01-16-2007, 03:07 AM

when port forwarding where it said ip address can I put 0 for the last three numbers and not have to worry about having a static ip?

I think each port can only be forwarded to one local IP. Otherwise the router does not know which machine (or local IP) to forward the connections to. Just setup a static IP, it's not hard.

What if I want to port forward 2 pc's to the same port, or port forward my xbox? because it wont let me port forward the same port to two different ip addresses. And you can't make a static ip on an xbox.

yes, you can make your xbox have a static ip. there's some setting in the dashboard.
and what kind of router do you have? I have a Linksys WRT54GS and I'm able to forward the same port to two different ip's. otherwise, check to see if the game/application allows you to change the port that it accepts connections from.

ah, you know what? I'm using a different firmware that adds a bunch more options. maybe you should check out upgrading to it (i did it because it lets you boost the wireless signal)
