Configure your Computer to Have a Static IP Address

Port forwarding the Comstar WA-6202 to your computer can be more reliable if you first configure a static IP address on your computer. We have instructions to setup a static IP address for Windows 7, Windows 8, and a variety of other devices on our Static IP Address Settings page.

Please note that while setting up a static IP address on your computer is optional, it is still a very good idea to go ahead and do it. In the long run it will make your port forward much more reliable.

First, place a checkmark in the box labeled Enable Port Forwarding.

Then, in the IP Address box, enter the LAN IP address of the computer or device you are forwarding these ports to.

In the Protocol drop down menu, choose the type of protocol you want to use to forward these ports.

Next is the Port Range. If you are forwarding a single port, enter that one number in both the left and right boxes. If you are forwarding a range of ports, enter the lowest number in the left box and the highest number in the right box.

Last is the Comment box. We recommend entering the name of the program you are forwarding these ports for here. This is not critical to the process, but is very helpful in the future to remember why you are forwarding these ports.

Finally, click the Apply Changes button.

That's all there is to it! Congratulations!
