Setup Router for Port Forwarding

[mjbosko]

I'm trying to get two different routers setup to forward port data for the use of PCanywhere. I've read all the information on the symantec site and it makes sense.

But neither of these routers (Pairgain 700F and SpeedStream 5660) have what is apparent to be a Port Forwarding configuration.

I've attempted to configure NAPT servers on the SpeedStream to accomplish this (a ditch effort) using UDP-5632 and TCP-5631 -- But the PCanywhere remote still shows that it can't connect to the device. I thought for sure this would work.

Can anyone give me some ideas to get this working? What other things do router manufacturer makers call Port Forwarding??

Thanks!

Mike

I know Lucent calls this atatic mappings.

A dumb question perhaps, but have you checked with Pairgain and SpeedStreams tech support?

Yes, and unfortunately, it looks like I'm making the correct configuration changes: NAPT. But still, its not working. ??

Edit of my previous post, Lucent calls it static mappings, not atatic mappings. Typo.

I ended up changing to a Linksys router, setting the current modem/router into bridge mode.

The linksys port forwarding (NAT) configuration worked!

It was a hardware's firmware issue.

Thanks for the help.
