How to forwarding ports

goto whatismyip.com.
WRITE DOWN YOUR IP ADDRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that was easy, now for the hard part.
this may vary for routers, but im gonna take a stab at it

now that u know ur ip, put it in your address bar like a website, but no .com or nething.

my ip is 192.168.2.1, so i goto http://192.168.2.1

you will see somthing like "virtual servers" or "ports" or "fire wall" or "opening your ports"[who would have guessed?]

ok.
then you will see somthing like "port number, aplication
name, type, and private ip Adress.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~
port number: there should be a blank - blank entry feild for the port that you want to open. say port 7171-7171.

Aplication name:Ummmm if u havent guessed, YurOTS, or Neverland. I think this is just for your own refferal.

Type:The type has 2 be TCP.

Private Ip Adress: now this will take some thinking. Goto yoru taskbar, right click on the internet connection that your using, choose STATUS. then click on the "support" tab at the top of the page. it will say your "ip address" this is really your local ip address. the only number that changes is the last number. mine happens to be 192.168.2.5, instead of 192.168.2.1
for private ip address, the pics will be included in folling post!!!
for the entire section.
