Port Forwarding Airtel Beetel Modem / Netgear WRG614

Would recommend reading of my previous post as it talks about how the setup exists between the modem and wifi router.

The Wifi router is setup as an access point so the Beetel Modem acts as the DHCP and the port forwarding needs to be done on the Beetel itself.


Okay, port forwarding needs to done to enable certain application / games to interact across the internet. It provides the capability to forward traffic from the ip that currently terminates at the Modem to the computer that needs to receive it.

Step 1

Access your Beetel Modem on the following address

http://192.168.1.1/main.html

Username: admin
Password: admin

Step 2

Select Advanced Setup ---> NAT ---> Virtual Servers




Step 3

Click Add, check if the application you need to port forward exists, if so please select and in the Server IP address put in the address of the computer you need to forward to 192.168.1.10.

Make sure that the IP of this machine is made static, refer my above blog entry to figure out how to do that else, this will not work if your computer keeps getting different IP addresses.



Click the save apply.

Step 4

This step is to be used if the application you need to do port forwarding for does not exist in the list that has been provided in the DSL Modem.

Select Custom Service, put a name for example I have put VNC.

Put the start port number and the end port number, the internal port numbers will automatically fill up.



If the Service requires multiple ranges, you can enter in each of the ranges on the next lines.

If your not sure of whether the service requires a TCP or a UDP would suggest you select the option of TCP / UDP in the Protocol drop down.

Step 5

After saving you need to reboot the system for it to take place. Best way to is to power off and power on the setup.

The best way to check if your setup is working is to go to a site that lets you check for example

Keep in mind the IP of your computer you need to forward to is static. If this works do drop me a line, would love to hear. If your feeling generous click an ad :)

  3. I did port forwarding as you have showed above. I did the port forwarding for counter-strike, for hosting a server online. The server gets hosted successfully in the internet but after 2 or three minutes it gets disconnected from the internet and stops working.

  5. Respected Sir, I have a 220bx with Netgear WGR614. 192.168.1.1/admin/password for 220bx/ and 192.168.0.1/admin/password for WGR614. Static IP is there on 220BX. My server IP is 192.168.0.10 connected to one of the 4 Ports of WGR614. One of the remaining 3 is connected to an up link cable goes to a 24 Port Switch. Wireless Settings for Netgear is Use Static IP, have given it 192.168.1.25 / please tell me the port forwarding process so that I can access my server from any remote location using MSTSC.

    Thanks.
