problems with ports by Nefzen on 02-10-2008 at 07:16 PM
hey, I have recently gotten a router, since my sister had gotten a new laptop.
The problem is now this:
I have two computers with two Windows Live Messanger working, and it is causing some problems, specifically with file transfers.
Other than that I do not see any other problems, but it's probably causing something. In the preferences, there is a tab about connection, which says I have "an internet connection via NAT limited by an UPnP exit"
I have an Edimax BR-6204Wg router, which seems to have UPnP and some unclear support for the MSN file transfer protocol.
what do you know about this?

Uh?
If you mean which ip would you forward them to, then I guess you would have to create 2 sets of rules, one which forwards to your ip and the other to your sisters.
I can't understand why you would need to forward them in the first place though. Might be your router i guess

idunno, it's says it's having problems
anyways, the info on Portforward works for one client, it can't have the same rules for two computers.
