How do I access a computer on my NewEdge DSL line?


Disclaimer: This document assumes the default setup for the Flowpoint/Efficient router. If you've changed the Ethernet IP address or DHCP setup you'll have to make the appropriate changes. SpinnNet has no access to your internal network configurations and is unable to assist with any configurations that do not conform to the standard setup.

If you have Qwest DSL service with SpinnNet your procedure will be a bit different from this. Please check the Cisco 675 Setup for qwest.net webpage for more info.



To access a computer on the inside of the DSL network, you'll need to
setup that computer with a static address, 192.168.254.30 for example.
Then you'll telnet to the router to make some configuration changes. To
telnet in Windows, go to Start-Run and type

    telnet 192.168.254.254

Login with your password or the default. The default password is located
on the documentation that came with the router.

From there, type in 'remote list' and note the top line

Information for <NAME>

Then you'll type in the following line

    remote addserver 192.168.254.30 tcp PORT NAME

PORT is the port of the service you wish to access inside the network
(telnet, web, ftp, etc). It can also be one of the following keywords:
ftp, telnet, smtp, http.

NAME is the remote name from the 'remote list' command above.

Then type 'save all' and then 'reboot' to save the changes and reboot
the router to activate the changes.

That command will forward PORT from the external IP address of your
router to the computer in question, in this case 192.168.254.30. If you
need to map multiple ports for games or other software, please refer to
the manual that comes in PDF format on the CD you recieved with the
router or visit www.efficient.com for the online version.
