Is there a firmware out there that supports Port Forwarding like the DLink 604.



I have a Linksis WRT54G and want to map public ports to private ports so I can remote into more than one machine at time.



You can configure this on a dlink using the "Virtual Application" screen.



Thanks for the help!



Google for it. "port forwarding WRT54G" top hit seems most relevant.

Yeah, I already read that post about bit torrent.

I actually need to forward one port to a different port.

If I have an application that runs on port 100 I can only forward it to one machine. DLink will let you map port 100 to a different port.

Example Public Port Private Port Computer 1 100 200 Computer 2 100 201

This way two different computers can use the same application such as remote desktop.

Doesn't look like you can do that with stock firmware. I use RealVNC, which allows you to pick the port by machine, so you can forward 5900 to one machine and 5800 to another, for instance.

Looks like it's not going to happen with the stock WRT54G firmware.

DD-WRT v23 SP1 will do it just fine:

found the user interface for port forwarding to really suck as it's difficult to manipulate a large numbers of forwarded ports using the web based menus. I just hack the iptables with vi and be done with it.

OpenWRT also does public/private port forwarding.

Excellent!!!!!!!

Thanks Jeff!!! (-:
