Step #3: Accessing your Router or Cable Modem:
First, you will need to find out exactly what brand of router or cable modem you’re using. Normally,
you can access your router or cable modem thru it’s built in LAN interface. To do so, you would pull
up Internet Explorer and in the address bar, type the Default Gateway address you wrote down in
Step#1.

Hint:

If the third portion of your IP address was a 1, then typically you would use 192.168.1.1 to access your router or

cable modem. Or if the third portion of your IP address was 0, then you would use 192.168.0.1. Once you have
successfully accessed your router or cable modem, you will need to input the user name and password.















Step #4: Setting up Port Forwarding in your Router or Cable Modem:
Go to the web address

www.portforward.com

Click on Forwarding at the top and choose the router or cable modem your

using and follow the instructions on how to setup port forwarding. You will follow the instructions step by step EXCEPT
that you will need to forward on Ports 1201, 1001, 1201 and 1901 with the type being TCP. It will then ask you for an IP
address, simply use the same IP address you assigned your computer in Step #1. You should have a button at the bottom
that will allow you to save your settings. Click it to save your settings.


Hint:

You will have an entry for each one of the ports 1201, 1001, 1201

and 1901. Like the example below.

You will also need to forward ports 80 or 8000 for web browser access.
Note: Some routers already have port 80 forwarded or included. Some
ISP’s block port 80 to prevent its users from web hosting. It is then
necessary to use port 8000 instead. You should use port 8000 if you
aren’t sure.


Step #5: Finding the IP address of your DSL or Cable Modem:
The easiest way to determine the IP address of your DSL or Cable Modem is to go to the website

www.whatismyip.com

You will need to write this IP address down and take it with you. When you’re at the remote computer, the EzNetwork 3.0
application will prompt you for an IP address. This is the one you will use.

Hint:

If you are accessing the computer from inside your network or from a computer that is also connected to the same

router or cable modem, then you can input the local IP address of the computer running EzwatchPro 3.0.
