How to do port forwarding for d-link routers.

PORT FORWARDING FOR D-LINK ROUTERS

              Few days ago,when I bought a new router I came across this problem of creating the online server. So,this post is about port forwarding in d-link DIR-600L router(it should work for any router).Port forwarding will enable you to create the online servers for games like Counter-Strike etc.When you are using wifi router,it is necessary to do port forwarding.


What is Port Forwarding :




In computer networking, port forwarding or port mapping is an application of network address translation (NAT) that redirects a communication request from one address and port number combination to another while the packets are traversing a network gateway, such as a router or firewall. This technique is most commonly used to make services on a host residing on a protected or masqueraded (internal) network available to hosts on the opposite side of the gateway (external network), by remapping the destination IP address and port number of the communication to an internal host.


In short,Port forwarding allows remote computers (for example, computers on the Internet) to connect to a specific computer or service within a private local-area network (LAN).



How to do it?:


1. Open cmd and type ipconfig you will see something like this.



2. Now visit 192.168.0.1 on you browser.Login into your d-link account.
 Click on manual setting option present at the bottom of the page.After clicking on ADVANCED tab you will get something like this.





3. Now,as you can see in above picture,you can enter any name(test server in my case) and in the ip address option enter the highlighted ip address in step 1.At the first public port place enter the port number which you have assigned to your game server,rest places will get filled automatically.Look at the following picture for reference.After that save your settings.





4. Click on Firewall and Dmz option form same advanced setting page.
Uncheck firewall setting i.e. SPI ENABLE option and check the 
Enable DMZ option below.Enter the same ip address mentioned above and save your settings!Remember your computers local ip changes everytime you boot.So it might be necessary to do it everytime.





DONE! Now you can create CS server and others  can join ! ENJOY!

How to Add Menu Tabs in Blogger

How to Add Menu Tabs in Blogger When I first started blogging, I was confused with the blogger layout. Blogger allows only posts to be created by default. So, it was a tough task to figure out how to add menu tabs at the top. You must have came across various professional blogging websites and each one of them has beautiful tabs above it. How cool it would be if you can add the same feature in your Blogger blogs? What's the use of the Menu Tabs? Well, menu tabs are used for navigation across your various posts. Normally in the absence of tabs, you write a post then add some labels to describe the entire post aptly and then publish it. This will get added to your posts. Now, when someone visits your blog, then the person can see all your posts one by one lined up. Visitors then have to scroll past each post they come across to get to the next one. Don't you think that era of serial posts is way past behind? Wouldn't it be great if all your posts are or...
