Port Forwarding on Netgear WNR2000
 

Hi,

I am wanting to Port Forward UDP 55554 to 55555 for an rcon program.
Now I want the port forwarding to be for all computers connected to the router

In the IP both can I put: 192.168.1.* ?
Or something like that as a wildcard

If I can't use a wildcard, can I open the same ports for all computers
For example 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3
Have UDP 55554 to 55555 open for both ?

The answer to your first question is no, you must specify a static IP address in that box.

The answer to your second question is that I don't believe you can.

What is it that you're actually trying to achieve?

For clarity, I suspect the Netgear router might let you, but in practice you'll find that it won't work.

The only way you can do it it to have different external ports mapped for each seperate PC..

For example
55550/1 goes to 55554/5 on 192.168.0.2
55552/3 goes to 55554/5 on 192.168.0.3
55554/5 goes to 55554/5 on 192.168.0.4

Though I'm not sure even some routers can map..instead the only forward :(

Hi,

Thanks I think I will just got for different ports.
The rcon program i am using has an option, to put a port in so you can view the chat.
I wanted to use the same port on all PC's so I only had to remember the one port that was opened on the router, but I will go with different ports.
