Port Forwarding with UPC

    If someone could give me a little help.

    http://i.gyazo.com/67d9962ff03eb985608d90fe3c1ddde5.png

    What do I put for Public, Target, and Target range if I want to open these ports.

    Port 88 (UDP)
    Port 3074 (UDP & TCP)
    Port 53 (UDP & TCP)
    Port 80 (TCP)
    Port 500 (UDP)
    Port 3544 (UDP)
    Port 4500 (UDP)

    Any help, UPC is being useless again and told me to open them myself.

    EDIT: So I think I did it right, I put 88-88 -IP- 88-88 and when I go to see if they are open it says they are not. I have no idea. I read on here that you cant see if they are open you need to be on a second network or something, is that true?

    The port will only appear open on a test if they are in fact open on the machine. To test telnet on the local machine to the port to confirm its open.

    Then confirm you are using the right ip in the rules. Everything else is ok

    Go to the UPC website, they have a list of their routers.

    Once you know the router, go here: http://portforward.com/

    She said to use telnet to connect to the pc you're trying to connect to.

    syntax i think is something like "open 127.0.0.1"

    It's relatively easy done on mine

    192.168.0.1 to get into your router admin panel
    Passwords are default admin/admin

    Go to Advanced -> Forwarding

    Public Port range, insert the ports. EG 88-88
    Target Ip address, the device you want to open the port on. EG 192.168.0.2
    **Note that ideally you might want to create a static Ip on the device. So make your PC say .2, a laptop .3 etc. etc. Do you know how to do this?

    Target port range, do the same as public port range.

    Protocol, put whichever you need, I normally select both.

    Right now I'm on RDP from work, which was done via port forwarding on my UPc router. I find it incredibly easy, and with the steps above never have hassle.

    The target IP might be a problem if you don't know that stuff. To find your PC's IP, open cmd line and type ipconfig and you will see it there under like ipv4

    you can setup a static IP on your pc very easily.

    The target IP is important, as you will have multiple IP's no doubt in your network. So you need to tell which device you want the port forwarded for.

    In regards checking if the port is open, I've never had a problem with verifying. Make sure you are putting in your public up address, and not your local one, otherwise the websites etc wont actually check it properly.

    I understood most of that. I have my IPv4. This part

    I have no Idea what you said. I know what a static IP is but I dont know what you said after that lol.

    http://whatismyipaddress.com/

    go to that and you find your public IP address. Basically its the IP your router is on the web. The 192.168.0.X is your internal ip on your network. Everyone has that, but your public IP is unique.

    So to test ports are open, some sites ask for your public ip, which if you are putting in 192.168.0.X, will show as closed or throw an error. Some port checker sites don't need an IP to test, but some do, just figured I'd mentioned.

    Making a static IP can be important when you want to open ports. By standard your router will push out DHCP. This automatically assigns IP addresses to devices. So say a friend comes into the house and connects their iPhone, it will automatically throw it the next available address. That IP will stay assigned for a while, until it gets flushed and released back for general use.

    But what the means if say you setup a port forward on your laptop, which uses DHCP. You might go away on holiday, or connect your laptop to another network, or whatever, and come home and get assigned a different IP address, then the one you had before.

    Have a google for "How to setup a Static IP address". It's very simple and straight forward. And what it means is that device will have the same IP all the time, which is important.

    Just take note of your ISP provides DNS servers, as you will need to enter those manually as well. You can find them with a quick google or ring up the ISP. Think you said UPC, so they are easily available online.
