Okay well there were a few tutorials on port forwarding already posted, but personally they weren't that clear. (IMO) So if anybody is in the same boat heres the solution! ::omg:
Method 1
What you need:
Port Checker from this link:
Okay dokie lets start.
So go to run then type in cmd and hit enter.
Command Prompt should open up. You need to type: ipconfig /all
and again hit enter
Your looking for your DEFAULT GATEWAY
Now open up your favorite browser and type in that number into the URL bar. [URL IS WHERE YOU TYPE IN
You should be prompted to login with a username and pass: If you dont know your routers password do the following..
-Get your safety pin/anything that will fit and push the reset button in the back of your router for 10seconds. (wait until the lights flash on/off)

This will reset your name/pass... This list has all default passwords and usernames for most routers out there:
Now for port forwarding... YAY!
Alrighty since there are like a lulzillion-rofillion routers out there I cannot help you with your SPECIFIC router.. I do not have the time :/
So go to
Your router brand/model number should be on your router homepage.. (the site that comes up when you put your default gateway in the URL and click enter) Its usually under the *about* section.. If not you can always physically check the router itself.
So when you pick your number and brand you should be at
For example I randomly click Pruna. On this page
TIP: To get your private IP to portforward to you must go to run.. then type cmd and hit enter.. Type ipconfig /all again and look for IP ADDRESS...Use this for your private IP.
We are almost done.. You now must do the following:
-go to
-Open up port checker and check your ports there.
If 1/2 says the ports are incorrect thats fine..
If 2/2 says the ports are incorrect you obviously missed something, so go back and try again.
Method 2 -Use this as a last resort-
Download uTorrent from here:
Options---> then Preferences ---> Then Connection ---> Where it says Random Port.. Input the port you want to forward..
Then close uTorrent and keep the program with the port you want to forward running.. Then open uTorrent again..
Run the check and your done! [See method one for check]
