If it is a Linksys Router (this may work with other brands as well) then you can simply open a web browser and type 192.168.1.1 in your address bar and press enter or go. that will open up a login. if you or anyone else has never accessed the router settings before then your password and user name should be the defualt.



User name: [Leave it Blank]

Password: admin



Then (again if you have linksys..it may be similar for other brands tho) you click applications and gaming. You can then port forward there.

what make and model number is it?

each roter manufacturer uses different settings.
Open a command prompt and type in %26quot;ipconfig%26quot; without the quotes. Open a web browser and enter what you see in the %26quot;default gateway%26quot; field into the address bar of the web browser.
