Many people have been asking me to make a tutorial for port forwarding on a router. So here it goes!
Note: Routers may differ, but mostly similar.
Tutorial:
1. Type in your gateway IP address. Don't know where the gateway IP address is? Go to control panel\network connections\find your local internet network.
2. Right click and press "Status", then press "Support". Get your default gateway IP address.
3. Once you know your default gateway IP address, put that address in an internet browser (IE, or Firefox whichever NO HTTP!! ONLY NUMBERS)
4. Put in your default factory password. Usually "admin" or "1234". If both don't work, google it.
5. Once you're inside your router, click on "Security". Note: May be different for other routers.
6. Click on "Port Forwarding"
7. Click on "Persistent Port Forwarding"
8. There will be a big list of things once you come to this page. Find a clean empty space and put this in (make sure you choose UDP!!) btw, for the "Private IP section", make SURE you know the LAST digit of your IP ADDRESS and put it in(not gateway IP address. Check back on step 2).
9. Click "Submit" or "Apply"
There you go! You have port forwarded ThinkTanks!
If you have questions or concerns, please post on this thread.
Thank you for reading and I hope this clears up some known issues with routers.
