The router has a number of ethernet ports, the cables used to connect to such ports end in RJ45 connectors that look like a bigger telephone jack. Routers often have one or two relatively short and thick antennas, sometime they only have ethernet ports. The most common home routers have 8 ports but there are much bigger ones. Your router is placed between your PC and the 'internet outlet' in the wall, in the sense that the ethernet cable (internet wire) from the back of your computer connects to the router, and the router connects to the 'internet outlet'). Find the router and note its brand and model. If you use a wireless connection, the router will only have a cable to the wall outlet and not to the PC, but it can be easily identified anyway: it's the box that must stay turned on, or your internet dies :P Physically locating your router is useful if you don't have a manual. The web interface If you happen to have a manual for your router, find out how to access the web interface. If you don't have a manual go to the manufacturer's web page (hint: www.brandname.com ), look for your model and find the information. Generally, the web interface is found at the router's IP address on port 80, that means: if your router's IP is 10.0.0.1, you will probably find the web interface pointing a web browser to http://10.0.0.1 In some cases the web interface is on a different port rather than the default http port 80. If that's the case use :port# at the end of the IP address, example http://10.0.0.1:8800 if the port is 8800. Finding out your router's IP To figure out where to point your web browser, do the follwoing: On Windows: open a cmd shell (start run (type) cmd [enter] ) and type 'ipconfig /all' (no quotes) On Linux, and other *nix (probably even Mac): open a terminal and type 'ifconfig -a' That will give you your own IP address. Your router is probably in the same range at -0 or -1, e.g. if your IP address is 10.0.0.137 your router is probably (but not always) at 10.0.0.0 or 10.0.0.1 (if this doesnt help, google probably will) Forwarding ports Web interfaces don't look all exactly the same so I can't walk you through the whole procedure, but with help of your manual or the manufacturer's website (and Google) you should be able to figure out what to do as long as you know exactly what you want to accomplpish, which in our case is: * Forward port (number/s) FROM (the router's IP) = TO (the PC's IP) for protocol UDP * ...which is pretty much all what
