Author Topic: Port Forward Problem  (Read 1473 times)

How do I Port Foward without having to go through 192.168.1.1 to get there? My mom is a computer freak, and she changed the defaults. She has said that port fowarding is not a good idea. :/

So why don't you listen to her?

Because, she's afraid of hackers and is over reacting.

You should still listen to her :P

Why? I am aware of the risks. She's just paranoid.

I listen to her about everything else.

I don't know how to say this without being rude, so I'm just going to be rude.  Your dad mom shovels coal for a living and I am a goddamn professional computer programmer.  I know more about this subject than your dad mom.  Port forwarding, if done correctly, is completely safe.


Port Forwarding is not Bad.

It's accessing to games. (Nothing will happen.)

And, no. There's no other way, then 192.168.1.1. Sorry.

Start -> run -> cmd

I know how to get to the default gateway. My mother is a computer programmar, and has set up a tight security to prevent me from accessing anything.

If she is a computer programmer then why is she paranoid about port forwarding? Also, what do you need it for.


See if you can do the same on her computer.

We've had hacker issues due to my brother downloading pron.

See if you can do the same on her computer.

It takes 3+ passwords that are over 10 characters long.
