if you want to open ports, you need to "log on" to the router using the IP 3com provide (usually 192.168.0.1) or something like that... there should be a menu/option somewhere allowing ports to be manually opened

firstly: lol.

secondly: the easiest way to open all ports to your computer is to set up a DMZ, although this can be risky as the router isnt acting as a (very basic) firewall, so you should really have a software firewall set up on your pc... There should be an option within the router settings to specify a particular IP address of the DMZ server. Set this to the IP of your computer (and then give yourself a static ip, or setup the router's DHCP server such that it always assigns you the same IP).

Good Luck

the "DMZ" that most home routers give isn't what I would call a proper DMZ - I'd generaly avoid it as a rule and only forward the ports that you need.

1st arrrrrgggg.... my eyes!!!

2nd What router is it exactly?

[Moby-Dick]

3com innit

[Jay]

I think 3Com make more than one type of router.

It would be nice to know the exact router to make sure the advice given is correct.

[Moby-Dick]

I'll remeber my <sarcasm> tags next time.

As mentioned previously , most Home routers have a pretty limited number of ports ( or ranges ) that they'll forward. Any more and you have to use the "DMZ" setting which forwards ALL incoming traffic to a given host ( not to be recommended unless you are happy that you have a good firewall in place on the DMZ host )

can the original poster start a new thread that uses regular sized text and doesn't type like an overexcited golden retriever and I'm sure he'll get more answers.
