Disabling Router Firewall?

[KaiFiRe]

Hi,

Is there a way to disable the firewall in my linksys router so i can host online games?

thanks

log into the router http://192.168.1.1

put in your password

click the advance tab

then click DMZ

you will need to get the internal ip address of the computer that will host the game. i.e 192.168.1.1

to find this out in win2k/xp go to start> run> type cmd> then at the dos prompt type ipconfig

next you will have to forward the ports (by click the forward tab in the advance settings) to the computer that is running the server. different games run on different ports. so that is something you will need to research out.

You can put one pc into a DMZ. What game are your trying to host? Is port forwarding an option?

how do you know what your password and user name for your router is??? I've never even accessed it....

Usually it tells you in the manual. User is usually "Admin" and the Passwords depends on manufacturer/model of the router.

linksys default password is "admin"

I am trying to play warcraft 3 but people can't join my game when i start one up. Also when I try to recieve files from otherpeople through aim or mirc, it fails also.

Thanks
