PORTFORWARDING BSNL /DATAONE UT300R2U MODEM

why portforwarding ?

how to portforward your bsnl/dataone ut300r2u modem?

you need:

1. a torrent client like microtorrent (my favourite)
2. a browser: firefox( again my favourite)

when you open the torrent client for the first time ,you will asked to test the ports to get optimum speeds(shown below)

most of the times the it wont be portforwarded and you would be directed to www.portforward.com. although most of the times the site helps you in port forwarding ,it didn’t work everytime for me.sometimes it would work and sometimes it wudn’t.there was no REALIABILITY . however it did help me partially.

the following method works everytime for me.

• start torrent client.(read Utorrent).
• then in the menu bar…OPTIONS>>PREFERENCES>> CONNECTION as shown below

• uncheck enable upnp port mapping as shown,note down the random port number it will be used later. click apply and then ok as shown. now close torrent client

ACCESSING THE ROUTER /MODEM PAGE:

• now open any browser.type 192.168.1.2 or 192.168.1.1 in the address bar to log into modem/router page as shown below

• enter the username as admin and password as admin and click ok as shown above.that should get you to routers page.
• once you are in the routers page click on advanced tab as shown below.

• click on the virtual server button as shown below

• fill the details in the page.let PRIVATE IP = 192.168.1.136, PROTOCOL=ANY, LOCAL PORT=port number you noted down earlier, select single port from drop down and click apply as shown below.you will see that virtual server list is updated.

• now close the browser

• now click START>>MY NETWORK PLACES>>VIEW NETWORK CONNECTIONS
• right click on your LOCAL AREA CONNECTION>>PROPERTIES

• click on INTERNET PROTOCOL(TCP/IP)>>PROPERTIES as shown in the figure

• click on use the following IP address and enter the details as shown above.
• i am using open dns server address.you can also use bsnl dns server address but they are more subject to downtime compared to open dns server address. and this guide is not tested on bsnl dns server addresses.
• click ok to close both the windows.

here lies the catch……….

the above instructions are also given in the portforward.com. now open the browser and start surfing. if you can browse the internet pages its well and good. portforwarding is done successfully.

if you cannot browse the internet,don’t worry just restart the system.now you should be able to browse the internet .start the torrent client now.

you should be seeing a image similar to below image.

if you see the yellow triangle the port is not forwarded yet.go back to ACCESSING ROUTER/MODEM PAGE step above and redo the changes till you create a virtual server.no need to make changes in local area connection.you need not restart this time.

just start the torrent again. click on the place where you see the yellow triangle,the speed guide window should pop up.select TEST IF PORT FORWARDED PROPERLY button as shown below.

• now the browser opens automatically ,and you should see the following page

now the port has been forwarded properly.

Note:

• you may have to create virtual server every time you start your system. but its better than having low speed downloads.
• i have connected to internet using usb port.and this guide is not tested on ethernet port ,i tried using ethernet,it works fine.the only thing you need to change is default gateway which is 192.168.1.1.please try the above method once,tell me if anything goes wrong.
• visit portforward.com for more detail.:

worst case solution:

if this guide doesn’t work for you and you badly need high torrent speeds,then in the advanced tab of router page ,you have dmz (demilitarised zone) button. click on the button. you will be required to enter the the internal ip address(which can be obtained by running ipconfig/all at command prompt).

this opens up all the ports of your system to external world.it’s very RISKY(NOT RECOMMENDED) though.when i tried this the moment i opened the ports thru dmz option i was infected with loads of spyware and adware.my desktop wallpaper changed automatically and seconds later my system went on restarting,so beware!!

testing on different types of modems very soon………..

i dont have virtual server option,what should i do?

please follow nsn155’s answer below.

alright people, this for those they do not have virtual server option , all u have to do is change your modem settings to bridge connection.

initially it will set as ppoemode.first save u r modem current settings at management>settings.backup.

after u have done tht now move to advanced setup>wan>

now u will see a table. click remove on every line,and then click remove on bottom of the page, and then save/reeboot.

next after u modem is reset, again go to advanced setup>wan>u will see a table ,click edit on the first row ie pppoee row

click next, click bridging ,next,next…. and then save /reboot.

now go to control panel>networkconnections> create a new connection
click next>connect to the internet>setup manually>connect using a broadband connection which uses a username and password> click next>next>and complete the process.

and now in ur network connections u will see a new connection.click on it and enter the details and u r good to go.

and now ports will be open.happy downloading at super high speedssssss.

it will work,so dont worry. if it does not change u r modem settings as they were previously orrrrrrrr call 23234770 which is tech office of bsnl. and ask them how to change u r connection to bridge mode.
