I'm having severe difficulties with this - I did at my mum's without any problems, but here it's just not working. I have followed the instructions for port-forwarding but each time I test it it claims 'Your router and/or Soulseek client needs to be configured correctly.' |
||||||||
|

|
|
What's the local IP address of your computer, and is it assigned by the router's DHCP or configured manually? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, it's a static I.P. Is it wise of me to post it here? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Wait wait wait. Do you have a router or not? If you're hooked directly to the cable or dsl modem you shouldn't have to do port forwarding... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
If the computer's address is 192.168.xxx.xxx it's safe to post it here because it's non-routable. Strictly internal to lans. |
||||||||
|
|

Okay, I have a router. the internal IP is 192.168.1.1, which I've forwarded before and that didn't work. So I tried forwarding my external IP and that hasn't worked, either. |

you'll probably need to configure your matterboxtm |

Ah, so you want to be original and you use 1 for the third octet. Fine, be it your way, but don't expect respect in the geek comunity. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
But wait a moment, how do you forward an IP? You forward one port only to a specific local IP in your LAN. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
192.168.1.1 is the router's address. The PC's address is probably 192.168.1.100 if it's a linksys router and you're using DHCP (which means the router assigns an IP to computers on the LAN automatically). You have to forward the slsk ports to the PC's address, not the router's. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how do I do that ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh wait - so forward them to the 192.168 address? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Do these things on your computer: click Start choose Run type cmd press enter type ipconfig press enter tell us what you see |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
192.168.1.3 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
or better still, go to your Control Panel, choose Network Connections or sth like that. choose TCP/IP protocol from the list press Properties (?) tell us what you see. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thanks - that's what I did at my mum's that I didn't do here - check ipconfig on my computer. It worked. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Yeah, you have to forward the ports to the 192.168.1.??? address - in your case the ??? is probably 100, but check to make sure. You have to find out what the PC's address is. There should be a local network page in the router's config with a button marked "dhcp clients table" or something like that which will show you what addresses have been assigned to PCs on your network. If you only have one PC, there ya go. But 192.168.1.1 is almost certainly the router itself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, so forward a port of choice to 192.168.1.3 and then set that port in slsk's options. Or the other way around, first slsk, then router. Choose your own path |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ah yeah, ipconfig would work too. :blush: |
