I've just moved and the wifi is supplied via the TalkTalk Wifi router now bearing in mind that the product doesn't exist on Simple Port Forwarding or PortForward.com does anyone know how to set up Port Forwarding so I can actually host in the future?

I've gone into the settings and have set up three rules each as below:

Service as Other
TCP
External Host I have put my External IP
Internal Host I have put my Internal IP
External Port I have put 50505 then 50507 then 50509 - three rules.
Internal Port I did put Port 80 but it wouldn't work so I changed it to the above ports and still can't get the blighter to work.

It just says that the ports are closed and I can't understand how to ensure they are open.

Does anyone know if I'm doing anything wrong and if so HELP please!!!

For the ports to show as open Simsig needs to be running and set up for hosting, otherwise any port checking tools will report a closed port

I'm unsure why the router would give you an option to set External Host for port forwarding. Unless it is a firewall rule to only accept connections from the specified external host? Does the router have any Help pages or Hints associated with that field?

I think that I've now got the port open but one site says it is open and another says it is closed.

Either of you free to check if you can connect from your end?

I'vr been following this thread with interest as I have a TalkTalk WiFi Hub router & yhave always wanted to suss out port forwarding I've followed the info puser have supplied, but stumbled on one item. Where it asks for the Internal Host IP I put the router IP in & it didn't like that. After doing a bit of investifating I came across another page with a varying numer of IP addresses. One of them listed as PublicIPv4 Address should this be the one used?

Ajax103 what did you put into the Internal Host box> As I get Invalid IP address if I put the router IP in that one.

This info should work for you.

Open up the port forwarding page

In the service name type "SimSig" or other name

For service select "other"

Protocol select "TCP"

External host leave blank (or put in * as device may need it)

Internal host input the IP of device that you are going to use for hosting SimSig for example 192.1668.0.2 (may already be populated)

For external port input 50505-50509
(Putting it this way sets a range of ports that can be used)

For internal ports input 50505-50509

You should have below a button called Add Rule or something simular clck on that

On the next screen you should be presented with a list of rules, and on the left hand side you should see a column labeled Enable change it so it says "on"

If it already says on then leave as it

In both cases click on apply.


After doing all that load up SimSig and run it as a host then check the port(s)

Port Forwarding is now a sucess. Many thanks.
