    hmm, any software to implement port forwarding?

    my router doesnt seem to be working correctly with this. Is there any software that would implement port forwarding?
    I have 2 computers in my network. I want it so that if I remotely connect to a certain port on comp A, it would forward all the data on that port to comp B.

    hopefully there is a way to do this without additional hardware

    Any decent proxy application should do it. But I've often found it tricky working with port forwarding on routers. You delete, re-add, delete, re-add, update the firmware, delete, re-add and then finally it works. Also - you cannot test port forwarding on the wan interface of a router if you're connected to the lan side.

    hmmm I'm not too good with networking. Would you explain what you said about lan/wan?

    My router doesnt mention if the port forwarding setting is for wan or lan. I have two computers connected to my router and the port forwarding works fine locally, but when I access it through a computer outside of my network it doesnt work. You know anything about why that happens?


    also what proxy application should I use to do it? with a proxy app I can forward it the way I explained?

    if you connect from outside the lan to computer a, the the router should be able to forward the ports to computer b if its on the same lan.

    I have a LinkSys router. Post your screen, and we'll take a look at the options.

    what do you mean that it works perfectly? I've used port forwarding to get data to a pc for a game, that doesn't go to the other machines. Does that mean you can't browse on .2? Or when you ftp from .2 it goes to .3? I'm confused...
