did you disable dhcp in communication setup in the box with the card in it ? ,if you dont disable dhcp the ip can change and if that happens the channels wont open . double check that the ip of the box with the card in it is the same as the ip in the c line ,and ensure that the username and password in the f line are the same as the username and password in the c line ,also double check that you deleted the # symbol at the start of both the f and c line .if the # symbol is not deleted the line wont work .

Hi guys

I've read and followed piopat's brilliant instructions to a tee but am falling over at the internal sharing. I have, as follows:

Main box downstairs, I have ethernet cable, sky connection, sky card and live network connection
F: username password

Box upstairs, I have ethernet cable, live network connection
C: 192.168.*.* 12000 username password

I'm most probably being completely dim here but I don't get a picture upstairs :(

I'd appreciate any help in getting me up and running.

this is the portforward homepage
http://portforward.com/

from there you click on routers list (you can find it just under the left side of the big arrow at the top of the screen)

this is the routers list (when you find the name of your router click on it)
http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm

for an example lets say your router is a dlink dfl200 (you would click on dfl200 and you will see the pfconfig advert ,look in the top right of screen and you will see click here to skip this advertisement ,so click on it ) now you will be here
http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Dlink/DFL-200/DFL-200index.htm

this is what you will see in the above link

Welcome to our guide list for the Dlink DFL-200. Please select the program you are forwarding ports for from the list below.



If you do not feel like figuring out how to forward ports manually, we have a simple software solution called PFConfig that can forward your ports for you automatically. We offer complete support for our product and will help you get your ports forwarded.

We have Free Software to help you test your port forwards. Our ultimate goal is to have a write up for every hardware router and firewall available and instructions for every application that Internet users have difficulty getting to work through their router or firewall so that you can do simple port forwarding. These guides are provided to help you, but we are in no way responsible for the state of your network. If you encounter any errors in our guides, please let us know by using our Comments page.



If you do not see the program you are forwarding ports for, be sure to visit our Default Guide for this router

where you see "be sure to visit our default guide for this router " default guide is highlighted so click on it and you will be here
http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Dlink/DFL-200/default.htm

one of the first things you will see is this

To setup port forwarding on this router your computer needs to have a static ip address.
Try our free PF Setup Static IP Address Program which will setup a static ip address for your computer.

Or you can take a look at our Static IP Address guide to setup a static ip address. When you are finished setting up a static ip address, please come back to this page and enter the ip address you setup in the Static IP Address box below.

what this means is you will need to set your pc a static ip address simillar to what you did with the box with the card in it ,here are instructions for doing this on both windows xp and windows vista
http://portforward.com/networking/static-xp.htm (this link is for win xp)
http://portforward.com/networking/static-vista.htm (this link is for vista)

now after you have set your pc a static ip address return to the default guide for the router
http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Dlink/DFL-200/default.htm

now below where you see the setting a static ip stuff (thta you just did) you will see the instructions for opening a port on your router .once that stage is complete all being well your port should be open and people can share with you.
