Port Forwarding in the orange livebox

1. open the livebox configuration. (usually found as an icon on the desktop, else look for it in ‘all programs’, when you click the start button)

OR else, type: http://192.168.1.1/
in the address bar of the internet navigator.

2. you will get a window with your livebox configurations. at the top, there are several options, click on ’serveurs LAN’, then click on ‘ajouter’. you will get a kind of a form.

3. Nom du serveur: type whatever you want, ‘torrents’ will do

Acces Active: ‘Oui’

Protocole: TCP

Du port: type any number between 10000 and 50000. BUT remember it.

Au port: type the same number as above, unless you want to open consecutive ports, i.e. ports 10 000 to 20 000

Adresse IP locale: leave it as such

now click ‘appliquer’

then click on ‘maintenant’ in the next page
then ’sauver’ in the next next page.

4. Do steps 2 and 3 again(with the same settings as above), but this time, instead of ‘TCP’ in protocol, put ‘UDP’

you have successfully opened the ports.

Port forwarding on your Orange Livebox

You can use port forwarding for a number of reasons - maybe you want to use a web server from home, or set up a game server.

Here’s how you do it.
Go to “configuration.adsl” or 192.168.1.1 in your web browser
On the left hand side, there is a menu of options. Go to Configuration > Advanced> Router
You’ll get the “Port forwarding” screen
To add a new service, click “add”
You can choose from the pre-configured services from the dropdown list, or select the “Manual Service” radio button and type a meaningful name for the new service (without spaces or special characters), for example “bf1942? or “webserver”.
You will need to choose “TCP” from the protocol dropdown
Type in the port that people will use to access the server externally. If you have more than one port with the same value, this is very useful. For example if you already have a web server set up on port 80, you can choose 8080 or 81 for the new port. Of course this is entirely up to you!
The internal port is the port which the traffic will be accepted on on your host machine, usually this can’t be changed. For more information contact your software vendor or read the manual.
Apache or IIS = 80
FTP = 21
Secure Server = 443
Finally type the Internal IP Address of the server which will be running the program. The external IP address will always be what your Livebox address is.
