Netgear DG843 - Port redirection

Pinkeyes · 20 Nov 2006 at 20:37

I would like to Terminal service into my home machine, on a different port than the machine itself, and redirect it via the router.

i.e. come in on:

wan_ip:999999 and redirect to pc_address:3389

Is this possible with the Netgear DG834 ? - there doesn't appear to be an option. I have seen this feature on most routers I have played with.

Thanks in advance.

sure can do that. Read the manual tbh, its really quite simple.

Aha, the old RTFM syndrome...

If its that simple, you could explain it in, what, a minute?

Well on these Routers you set up a "service"
You put a service name, TCP/UDP and then a "start port" and "finish port"

The Start and Finish refer to either single ports (in which case you put the same port for both, or you can open a range of ports).

Then in the firewall rule, you enable that service.

I cannot see an option where you can come into the router on one port, and redirect it to another.

I do have the manual, but for what I call "port redirection" they may well refer to it as something else, so I cannot find it.

If you know how to do it - it would be very helpful.
