<title>Small Router Question.</title>
<description>From one of Phi&amp;#39;s old topics he lists:&lt;br&gt; &lt;i&gt;&lt;br&gt; TCP&amp;nbsp;range: 10000 to 11000 (incoming &amp;amp; outgoing traffic)UDP range: 10000 to 11000 (incoming &amp;amp; outgoing traffic)TCP port: 7030 (outgoing traffic)UDP port: 9700 (outgoing traffic)&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;/i&gt;As ports and ranges to &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; on a router. Now while I can open up ports (both TCP and UDP) on my router, I haven&amp;#39;t the foggiest how you go about opening an entire range. Is this an option generally found on US routers? (Mine is Japanese which may then explain why it doesn&amp;#39;t have the option) or am I missing something else? &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; As I have finally got an OS back on my laptop I&amp;#39;m once again able to access my router firmware, so I was thinking if I could try setting these ranges in the hope of helping reduce the constant high latancy I have in game.&lt;br&gt; </description>

<title>Re:Small Router Question.</title>
<description>Should be an option somewhere in the router to allow it.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Mine&amp;#39;s a belkin one and allows a range of ports to be entered as in the screenshot.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y176/ijeffers/portranges.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; So it definately should be somewhere, just a matter of finding it.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Jeffers&lt;br&gt; </description>

<title>Re:Small Router Question.</title>
<description>Yeah, doesn&amp;#39;t appear to exist on Japanese routers. =( I can only enter a specific port, it doesn&amp;#39;t have any page/input area or what-have-you for ranges. And yeah, I tried to put a range in the normal port dialog box too, it doesn&amp;#39;t like it and throws up an error.&lt;br&gt; </description>

<title>Re:Small Router Question.</title>
<description>&lt;p&gt;Some routers (like CISCO routers etc...) you have to specify ranges like so:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;TCP port&amp;nbsp;9999 allow GT (GT=greater than)&lt;br&gt; TCP port 11000 deny GT&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;which allows ports greater than 9999 (10000) and up, but blocks them from 11001 and up.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What is the make and model of your router? I&amp;#39;ll see if I can post how to fix.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Note: SOE staff can not&amp;nbsp;and will not help with router configs as it is not a product they supply, and so can&amp;#39;t offer advice without being liable&amp;nbsp;should a user kill their hardware due to bad advice.&lt;br&gt; I, on the other hand, am not an SOE employee and love telling people what they&amp;#39;re doing wrong. &lt;img src=&quot;/mxo/images/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;SMILEY&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;i&gt;If you are unable to configure the router you should contact the router&amp;#39;s maker for more detailed instructions.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;/i&gt;Yeah I know. Just one small problem, I can&amp;#39;t track down the maker. The provider (YahooBB!) isn&amp;#39;t very helpful when it comes to opening ports - they prefer to have them all blocked. And as with most Japanese hardware of this type, there is basically no online information (I&amp;#39;ve searched countless times in both English and Japanese, but nowt.) As a sign of how bad things are, I had to actually get the router IP number from a forum created by foreign language teachers here in Japan! But even they can&amp;#39;t figure out the port range thing =(.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Meh. I&amp;#39;ll drag the laptop over to the router again and take some screenies of the various options I have. Perhaps one of you will spot something I&amp;#39;ve missed (or more likely I will when I translate it into English).&lt;br&gt; &lt;i&gt;&lt;br&gt; Note: SOE staff can not&amp;nbsp;and will not help with router configs as it is not a product they supply, and so can&amp;#39;t offer advice without being liable&amp;nbsp;should a user kill their hardware due to bad advice.&lt;br&gt; I, on the other hand, am not an SOE employee and love telling people what they&amp;#39;re doing wrong.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;/i&gt;I understand that too, but I know you and Jeffers are around here a lot =D. But like I say, the entire thing is in Japanese so you&amp;#39;ll have your work cut out for you even if I could track down a number. I can give you the Wireless adapter information, but I don&amp;#39;t think it&amp;#39;ll have any connection to the router at all.&lt;br&gt; </description>

<title>Re:Small Router Question.</title>
<description>&lt;i&gt;Is there a firmware update that allows ranges? &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;/i&gt;Not that I know of, the router basically updates its own firmware from time to time. Still nice to know there are other players here too =D&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Phi, that&amp;#39;s pretty good too. I may mis-translate something when I have a look at it tomorrow (was unable to today). Due to where the router is and where my PC is, it&amp;#39;s not a very easy thing to look at U_U. But that&amp;#39;s a problem down to the layout of my house and unfortunately I am unable to get a second line run in to the room with the PC.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; I guess also going from 1 gig to perhaps 2 gigs of system memory may help a tiny bit on the graphics end too. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Oh, another related question of sorts, is there any way to &amp;quot;defrag&amp;quot; the swap file without deleting and remaking it? (Which I don&amp;#39;t think actually helps). Executive Diskeeper is supposed to be able to do that, but the English version I use won&amp;#39;t do anything like that with a Japanese OS due to language differences in the boot sequence.&lt;br&gt; </description>

<title>Re:Small Router Question.</title>
<description>Did a bit of searching for YahooBB and Port Forwarding and noticed a lot of similar requests to yours Chuui, but non of them had a solution. One page did have a link to an english pdf manual, but the download had expired so I couldn&amp;#39;t check it.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Maybe try emailing YahooBB Tech Support and see if they can help out?&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Also did a quick search for page file defragging and came across &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/PageDefrag.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; little utility linked from a forum. Never used it so I can&amp;#39;t tell you whether it&amp;#39;s any good or not but maybe give it a shot and see how you come on?&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Jeffers&lt;br&gt; </description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;My router has a default setting to check for firmware updates, however after using it 4 days it didn&amp;#39;t.&amp;nbsp; I might not have waited long enough, although most products check for updates after installation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;MrMatador&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<title>Re:Small Router Question.</title>
<description>Jeffers, yeah YahooBB! Japan are dead against helping with that sorta thing. They assume every one will just use them to grab torrents or use Winny (I guess that&amp;#39;s the Japanese version of Napster or sommat). And as Winny has a lot of bad press over here as it usually gets exploited with virii to take over PCs, anything that&amp;#39;s seen as being helpful to downloading mass data is... &amp;quot;discouraged&amp;quot; as it were. I&amp;#39;m going to check out the utility you linked to now too.&lt;br&gt; </description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m back from Hiatus! I had to install a server... took a few days. (I get to fly up to Sydney next week and install it on site)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chuui, could you perhaps post a photo or two of the router, in particular could you post a photo of the label on the bottom of it. What I&amp;#39;m after is things like the model and serial number.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
