msn.

as he said, cant see screenshot

Odd, was working last night.

nope deffinatly aint workin, says its forbidden...
i found the virtual servers however, what do i do in there?

Oh, good.

Basically, you want to forward port 1863 to your computer's IP address. Your computer's IP is the one that comes up when you run the ifconfig command I showed you earlier in this thread (you can also find out your IP by going to System Preferences > Network > Airport > Configure).

Use 1863 for the starting and ending port.

grr still cant work out what im ment to do,
ok the page i got to fill out is as follows
No. | descrption | protocol type | lan port | public port | enable
1 | (text box) | choose either | (text box)| (text box) | (check box)
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . tcp
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . udp
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . tcp & udp

Description: MSN Messenger (Adium)
Choose Either: TCP & UDP
LAN Port: 1863
Public Port: 1863
Enable: yes (checked)

oh there was one more box, it says Lan Ip address, then under it has my ipm address, then under that has a text box, anything go in here?

it only letting me put three digits in that field, is that the 3 digits i replaced at the end of my ip address?

ok, obviously not as it still comes up lan ip adress error

Can you post a screenshot of the page you're doing all this on?

i was going to do that then realised i dont know how to ss on a mac

Apple Key + Shift + 3

The file gets saved to your desktop as a PNG.

ah cheers
heres the shot

Alrighty.

The LAN IP Address should be the last digits of your network IP address. This is the address that comes up when you run the following in a Terminal:

For example, if I were doing this, I run the command and get this:

In my case, I would enter 26 as my LAN IP Address.

For description, just put "Adium/MSN" or something along those lines.

For Protocol Type, select TCP + UDP.

Enter 1863 for the LAN Port and the Public Port.

Select Enabled.

If none of this gets you anywhere, please post a screenshot of the error that Adium is giving you when you try to connect.

Also check out portforward.com. Here is the guide for a random Belkin router I selected from the list (don't know which one you've got, exactly), but if it doesn't work for you, you can find the guide for your one.
