How do I make eTomi work with a Linksys BEFSR41 and other Routers


Step 1 Open Windows networking.
With Windows 2000/XP:

  • Go to Start > Control Panel, then double click on "Network connections".
  • Find the network connection used to connect to the internet (usually "Local Area Connection"). Right click on it, and select Properties.

With Windows 95/98/Me:

  • Right click on "Network Neighborhood" and select Properties.


Step 2 Set your machine to use a static IP.

  • In the window that appears, look for "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)". It may be near the end of the list. Click on that, and then click Properties.
  • In the window that appears, check the box "Use the following IP address".
  • Set IP Address to 192.168.1.10
  • Set subnet to 255.255.255.0
  • Set gateway to 192.168.1.1
  • DNS should be 192.168.1.1
  • Now click OK, and then OK again.


Step 3 Enter the port forwarding section on your router setup.

  • Enter http://192.168.1.1 in your browser to enter the router web-based setup.
  • It will may you for a password. If so, the default settings are to leave the username in blank, and type "admin" for password.
  • Go to Advanced in the top right.
  • Go to "Forwarding" (or "Port Forwarding", depending on model).


Step 4 Forward the ports on your router. Enter the forwarding information in the first available line:

  • Customized Application: " eTomi "
  • Port: The port eTomi is using- the one that you took note of earlier.
  • Port to: same as above.
  • Check both the UDP and TCP boxes.
  • IP Address: 10 (So it would say 192.168.1.10)
  • Click on accept, and you should be done.




Step 5 Restart eTomi .

  • Make sure "I can accept incoming connections" in connection settings is ticked.
  • Shut down and restart eTomi.
