Configuration for routers
******************************************************
* You have to turn OFF any firewall software like Norton Internet Security, Zone Alarm.
First you have to log into your routers configuration page.
1. Go to Start > Run > cmd > ipconfig
QUOTE
Look at the information listed.
IP address - eg. 10.0.0.11 <----------- this is your LAN IP
Subnetmask - eg 255.255.255.0
Gateway - eg 10.0.0.2 <----------- this is your IP to access routers page.
2. Jot down the information somewhere.
3. Open your Internet Browser and type http://gateway_ip/. Dont write gateway_ip.. but enter the numerical format which you had obtain from above. In my case it is htpp://10.0.0.2/
QUOTE
eg . http://10.0.0.2/
A small window will appear asking for a username and a password.
To get the default username and password, you need to surf to your
manufacturer's website and start searching for it(probably in a support
page). If you cant find it, email them.
Or else go to http://www.portforward.com.
Some routers have User: admin Pas: admin
Others User: admin Pas: Leave blank
4. Once login, you have to go to the section where it says Port Forward or Virtual Servers and forward the neccessary ports. The ports which you need to forward are 6901, 6122, 5122. These ports are forwarded to your LAN IP(eg. 10.0.0.11 from above) under TCP settings.
ID | Public Port | Private Port | TCP/UDP | IP
1 | 6901 | 6901 | TCP | LAN IP
2 | 5122 | 5122 | TCP | LAN IP
3 | 6122 |6122 | TCP | LAN IP
Additional Info: Put the same value for Public Port and Private Port. eg 6900 and 6900.
If they ask from what port to what port, do the same, same port numbers.
QUOTE
Dont know how to forward them? Read the guides on http://www.portforward.com.
Or use google and start searching high and low.
Or ask someone who has knowledge in it.
5. Next change the password of your router if you have it default. Save and reboot the router.
QUOTE
Now you need to differentiate between a LAN IP and a WAN IP.
LAN IP - the one you got earlier. eg. 10.0.0.11
WAN IP - this corresponds to your internet IP which your ISP assigns to you.
To get your WAN IP go to http://www.whatismyip.com
If you dont have a static WAN IP, I suggest you get a no-ip account.
http://www.no-ip.info
Select DNS host A, download their IP updater program and use the WAN IP which the program obtains.
6. Browse to your Athena folder, and go into conf folder.
