In all Linksys products, the management web server is listening on 8080. The only way to change it would be to log into the router's Linux operating system and change it.I would suspect that for each application you would specify single port. You should be able to add multiple single port entries, at least 10 if I'm not mistaken. If your ISP does block port 25 you would have to change the configuration of your mail server to listen to a different port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usasma Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 In my (admittedly limited) experience with port forwarding on LinkSys routers, it's generally better to use single port forwarding. That way, you've got individual entries for each port that you can enable/disable as you see fit.For the email, you'll have to forward port 25 for SMTP and 465 for SSL connections. Also, for incoming email (dunno if you need this), but you'll have to forward port 110 for POP3 and 995 for SSL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zillah Posted October 14, 2005 Author Share Posted October 14, 2005 To be able to telnet to my PC (LNA) remotly, Do I need to enable ping first ?To enable ping, I have to disable (by default it is enabled) the protection under Firewall section((Protection: Enable Disable Block Anonymous Internet Requests)) ---->I have to tick or untickDo I need to enable ping first to be able to telnet ? (i.e Can I telnet to my PC (LAN), though I can not ping the ADSL router).I can do this with Cisco router, I can allow telnet but I can deny ping,, but with linksys I do not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonegiant Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Did Cisco buy Linksys recently or has Linksys always been their cheaper, home-use division? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
