How do I port forward using a TrendNET TEW-632BRP?
Im my own hosting server. I have to transfer HTTP connections on port 80 on my computer. I have access to the router, which has an IP address 192. 168. 10. 1. My computer has an internal IP address of the router (192 168 .. 10. 101). And I know the external IP address of my http://cmyip team. com. I tried every IP I can get my hands on, but they all generate the same error message: “conflict with the public port management port remote HTTP.” A little help would be appreciated.

You have to give the computer a static IP address, and it has to be outside the range that the router’s DHCP server is leasing. (IOW, if your DHCP range is 192.168.10.100-192.168.10.245, your conputer has to be at 192.168.10.2-192.168.10.99.) (You’ll have to manually enter your DNS addresses – you can get them from the router – and the gateway address – it’s 192.168.10.1, The netmask is 255.255.255.0.).
You forward to the IP of the computer – the 192 address. Private port and public port should both be 80.

Make sure that your provider isn’t blocking port 80 – many do. Use the custom port test at http://www.whatsmyip.org/ports/ to find out. (You’ll need the port forwarded and the server running.) If it’s blocked, try 81 or 8000 or 8080. Then you’ll need a port redirection service like No-IP (http://www.no-ip.com/ ).
