or if its behind a router, might need to do some port forwarding.

BINGO....

what do i do?

depends on which router u have.

on my sweex, i login to the settings, and under NAT settings it has an option for virtual server. Here you should be able to set the TCP and UDP ports required to forward to the IP of the PC.

other routers will probably be slightly different. You will almost certainly be able to get direct instructions from the manufacturers website.

thanx vipah....i ll look into it....

BTW Sobaku ...no i dont have a firewall

Chances are, your router IS the firewall... Have a look at Portforward.com

Posted by manal on 08-22-2005 10:32 PM:

check in the settings of your winmx client. i believe it runs off of port 6699.

in your router you can set port forwarding of that port to your specific ip.

oh and also i wouldnt flame you for useing winmx. i used to use it myself

but as i quote before in a post i stay out of
"we dont care where or how you download the shit."

i think thats enough said.

good luck buddy

You're one of the reasons I have a connection wherever I go.

Open up a web browser, and put in either...

http://192.168.0.1
or
http://192.168.1.1

Most of the time, either or these will take you to the config of the router.

There you'll have to take some steps to lock it down. Check out www.dslreports.com or give the model number here, I'm sure Westell is quite common (I've seen it on Verizon installs). If you're not using the wireless, just disable it completely. If you want to leave it enabled, force the router to allow only certain MAC addresses, cancel broadcasting of your SSID, and change up the settings to allow only secure connections (still not secure enough :/ ).

::BTW I forgot about once you connect to the router, you'll need the user and pass. Check your ISP's website or call them up. I had a listing of common passwords based on Make and Model of the router, but it's on another PC.

well the westell website isnt very helpful at all and i hate dealing with tech support emails...brushoff scumbags.....

anyway
lobo...thanx its disabled.....i ll see if it worked next time a laptop shows up
NS yes but the firewall wasnt activated....
vipah i got into the settings and the only mention of nat was just a mention of it under medium security settings on the firewall....no editing there..and nothing on tcp udp ports anywhere i saw
manal i looked around but i didnt see any port forwarding settings either

anyway i have a westell A90-327W15-06 from verizon if anyone else has one

thanx for everybodys help...you guys are so special to me it makes me wanna cry
*sniff *sniff

dude, ive just had a look on the westell site and there might be some info there for you, its not the exact model number, this one is Versalink A90-327W10-06, damn similar, have a look at the documentation, has some info on port forwarding

here
