Having some serious problem with PortForwarding. Help please?

[Isolation]

Hey guys, and before you think this is one of those mindless topics that randomly pop up out of nowhere and ask 'hao 2 portforward', it isn't. I am honestly at my wits end with this. I don't use a router so I thought it would be easy to port forward. I'm not wireless, I have a direct line (cable) to my BT Homehub 2. I have been using the website 'Portforward' to help me with the ports I need to forward and etc. But I've hit a problem.

So, the first two boxes are my 'target ports' and the next two are the 'translate to' ports. The fifth being the 'Trigger port'. Now, according to Portforward.com I do not need a 'trigger port' and it suggests that it should just be left blank.

I was wondering, seeing that I have not experimented with the trigger port, that thats why it is possibly not working. Once again, I have no idea. I HAVE tried to host with these ports however, and the server just turns out dead.

Either i'm being a complete moron and the solution is blatantly obvious, or i've run into something a bit tricky.

Thanks for your time.

Can anyone help?

If you don't use a router.

Then you don't have to port forward.

The only reason you need to port forward with a router is because a router itself cannot rout specific connections itself. Only the intranet. So you need to port forward with a router to tell it where to send specific information.

But you say you don't have a router. So I see no reason as to why you have to port forwardly

Well, I cant host. And with this exact same cable I had to port forward before and it worked with hosting a Blockland server. Now, it managed to revert itself to its previous state which doesn't allow me to host. Hence me posting this topic..

Wait.
The BT Home hub is a router...


Ok.

1: Do you know you're internal IP? It's something along the lines of 192.168.1.XXX
2: When you find that out, go the page that is displayed in picture one. And replace the last entry that is currently ")" with the last numbers of your internal IP.


That should do it.

Haha! Thanks man:)! That did it, although I had to put in an additional entry it worked. Thanks for the help!
