the ihub will have an internal ip address with a default gateway of your router.

port forwarding is what you want ot use, inbound and outbound ports should be the same.

you can plug the ihub into any port on the back of the router.
the ihub should get an ip address automaticly, jsut set it to dynamic or automatic or what ever setting it has on there. if it requires you to assign a static ip then use an ip that your other comps are not using. you can check your PC to see what your IP scmeme is.

go to start, run, (or search) type cmd, hit enter. in teh back window type ipconfig. you will get an ip address and a default gateway. the default gateway is the ip of the router, the ip address is close to what he ihub will have.

it will be 192.168.1.X X being the number you need to change. make it 15 or somthing high so its not getting taken by other devices. you can limit the ip's on teh router but id rather not get into that as it seems you are new to networking.

thats a link to setup guides. this system looks crazy complicated for what should be an easy network setup. it also has very very poor reviews by customers.

good luck.

thank you i know i came to the right , there is some thing i need to know the port
that i need to use in port forwarding is it the port that was given to me by my ps.

 

[ncc74656]

what is PS?

the port will be what ever port the device comunitcates on. that website listed 3 ports i think, all should be forwarded. OR you can DMZ teh ip address of the ihub device.

ps is( private sevier) that the ihub and box get the info to work, i think i understand the port i use is the one i get from the ps and the ip address is the one that the ihub work with.
