Hello,

I'm very aware that there are a million threads about portforwarding on TL but not for this router.

I also know about the Portforward site and my router is listed there, however, i still can't get it to work.

I followed the guide and i know i have filled everything in properly until the point where you have to put in you device. Since i don't know a whole lot about this i just tried a ton of adresses that i could.You would think that it should work then but still no go. If know what adress i should fill in it should work.

Notes: using windows 7, have not blocked the game with firewall. Please be clear with your instructions(What i have to fill in and WHERE).

Please show us a screenshot of your router port forwarding page.

So you don't know the IP address of your computer to enter as the device?

You can find your IP address by opening up the command prompt (Start > windows search "cmd") and typing 'ipconfig' (without the quotes). Look for IPv4 address

Read the guide on portforward, there you can see that there a few pages to go through. I don't know what to show now.

This might be what you are looking for though.

There were 2 IPv4 adresses, none of them made it work.

I think that is because you are under a router and a modem, you have to port forward on both the router and modem, you'll have to go into your browser and figure out the IP address of both your router and modem and port forward on the one that hasn't been forwarded yet, at least thats what happened to me, I was behind a router + modem as well. It sounds like you have the same issue, not 100% positive on that but it's worth a shot.

Under your network connection (should be called Local Area Network Connection) is an entry called IPv4 Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
That's the one you want. If there's two under that then we'll have to do more digging. If you're not sure which one is your network connection then screenshot that too.

Found that adress but it unfortunately didn't work. This is really complicated >:.

xboi209 is master port forwarder, you should seriously take him up on that offer.

Modems just modulate/demodulate the signal, they don't possess any TCP/IP networking capabilities unless they are a modem+router 2in1, but if that's the case you don't need a secondary router connected since the modem is one. The TG789vn is a 2in1 by the looks of it (DSL modem + router) so there is no secondary device that needs to be port forwarded.

If you have it on dutch (standard config)

192.168.2.254 should be thompson default ip

toolbox --> delen van spellen en toepassingen --> configureren (top right) --> Als het spel of de toepassing waarnaar u op zoek bent niet bestaat, klik hier zult u, om deze zelf te maken (details over het spel of de toepassing moeten verstrekken).(click on the bolded -hier- link). --> poortbereik = 6112 (beide invullen); omzetten naar ook 6112. --> toevoegen --> naam uit lijst kiezen & aan jou pc koppelen -> done.

GL!

Your problem here is you're forwarding ports onto the wrong IP address. 78.xxx.xxx.xxx is a public IP address (probably yours - don't know how you got it but you shouldn't give this kind of information on the internet), at this place should be a private (local) one. Probably something like 192.168.x.x . Give us a screenshot or a dump of your ipconfig /all.

I have a very similar router and this is how I found it:

So you don't know the IP address of your computer to enter as the device?

You can find your IP address by opening up the command prompt (Start > windows search "cmd") and typing 'ipconfig' (without the quotes). Look for IPv4 address


But instead of IPv4 adress, input on the adress bar of your browser the Default Gateway number given.

Are You OK?

True, I haven't even gotten a nice 100% success rate when it comes to port forwarding for other people. Some routers are just retarded :o
