Jimbo 175 Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 i've done this first bit and hooked up the router and using my pc as a wired connection, browser and email works can i fuck get on msn, tried searching the web for help and havent found anything worthwhile any experts out there? ps. i know it's naughty to post in general for help 31801[/snapback] Dude, Have a look at www.portforward.com, it shows the neccasary ports that require forwarding to your PC in order to run certain programs. I've had a look at the site myself and it doesn't look good: "The BT Voyager 2100 Router will not allow you to forward enough ports, to run MSN Messenger. You should try using the DMZ portion of this router if it is available. Alternatively you can try switching the router to bridged mode. You will need to contact your ISP to switch to bridged mode, so they can make the required changed on their end." http://www.portforward.com/english/routers...N_Messenger.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themags 0 Posted September 13, 2005 Author Share Posted September 13, 2005 i managed to get on msn, unfortunatly it means by-passing the hardware firewall on the router using that DMZ Portion, which i know is not a good idea for windows pc's Surly the Port Forward option should help, cant believe i missed it on on the Virtual Server Configuration http://www.adslguide.org.uk/hardware/revie...voyager2100.asp Is Jimbo's mobile help line available tonight if i get stuck?

adios 717 Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 This is what portforward.com has to say about the BT 2100 and Messenger: The BT Voyager 2100 Router will not allow you to forward enough ports, to run MSN Messenger. You should try using the DMZ portion of this router if it is available. Alternatively you can try switching the router to bridged mode. You will need to contact your ISP to switch to bridged mode, so they can make the required changed on their end. That's taking the piss. Good site for this stuff generally. http://www.portforward.com/english/routers...N_Messenger.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
