I am on a router and so is a friend of mine. Back when i wasnt on a router, i was able to connect to him but he wasnt able to connect to me. I was wondering if there was a way to connect through a router by turning on ftp or anything. I have a Vigor 2200USB router and on a Alcatel Speed Touch USB DSL modem. http://www.draytek.co.uk/products/vigor2200usb.html
Can anyone plz help me!!!

AIM: AdamTheManlyCanApril 27, 2003 at 2:49 am #96867DavidParticipantTry port forwarding, that should fix it, does anyone know the port numbers that IM Image Connection uses? Also, you might have to have the MAC address entered into the Router configuration.
April 27, 2003 at 2:06 pm #96869AdamJ1440ParticipantWell i know that AIM uses port 5190, Do i just forward it to that port and do i use TCP or UDP?
April 27, 2003 at 6:19 pm #96866DavidParticipantYeah, I think so, try using Both TCP and UDP (Thats what I did) but you need static routing (At least I did) for it to always forward to you.
April 27, 2003 at 11:01 pm #96868AdamJ1440ParticipantWhen i look at my router configuration, i can open port through NAT. I see boxes where it says, protocol, start port and end port. Can you help me on where to put these things and what to put in them
April 28, 2003 at 7:09 pm #96865BladeXXMemberI am also on a router and this works for me, go into the aim prefences there should be a list on the left side click on im image and there should be a box on the bottom saying Use alternate internet address etc… i am not saying it will forsure work but dosent hurt to try it
