View Full Version : Question about forwarding ports with my Netgear WGT624

Let me start by saying that I've got no problems with forwarding ports for *one* PC connected to this router. But two? Three? I just don't understand how.

In the port forwarding menu for the router, it simply will not let me forward the same port for two different machines. I'm new to this whole networking thing, so if this is a stupid question, go ahead and tell me (but please answer it too <3), but I'm just not seeing any way at all to forward the same port on two, three, or four different machines.

Whenever I try to add a forwarded port to the list that is already forwarded for another machine connected to the router, it just says "Port conflict with other service."

Is there any way around this?

This hasn't been a problem until I realized that since my gf is moving in w/me, I'm gonna need to forward ports on two systems instead of one.

I hope my question(s) were clear enough. Thanks in advance.

? You can't forward the same port to multiple machines. What are you port forwarding in the first place? I haven't found a need to forward any ports except when allowing services to the outside world(eg. www, ftp).

Generally with consumer class NAT routers you cannot forward ports to multiple machines.
