    Question on port forwarding. (Linksys E2000)

    Just got a new Linksys/Cisco E2000 for free. (DD-WRT is currently in development for this model so its out of the question for now).

    Quick question on port forwarding. On my old D-Link, when port forwarding, as usual when it asks for the IP. I could on my old router just leave it blank and it would port forward all ports to every computer on the network when not specified.

    Now on this new router, it specifically asks for you to enter the computers IP EVERY TIME you try to port forward something.

    Am I just going to have to add a port range/etc. for every computer on the network by IP? Or is there another way around this (or am I missing something lol).

    I haven't used a Linksys in awhile. So I figured I'd throw it out here.

    Edit: Just tried to add the same ports but to another connected computer (only different ending ip) and it prevents me from adding it saying that port is already forwarded (it is on the other computer) >.>

    If the ports are going to every computer.. then they're not being forwarded..? <.<; Wouldn't "forwarding to every computer at the same time" be the same as "not forwarding at all"? I mean that's the point of port forwarding, making sure that something goes directly to or from your computer and only your computer.

    If you want to make the ports forwarded to a certain computer depending on which computer was running the program you could try port triggering. If you try to run the same thing on more than one computer at the same time you could end up with trouble though.. maybe.

    Since your using /24 i think you can just unblock 192.168.1.0 which is the whole network and then unblock on the firewall on the PC

    But i'm not sure if they let you unblock my subnet network on home routers
