05:16:33 < Bicchi> I need some help configuring port forwarding. I would like to allow all the machines that connect to the router to have the same rules
                   instead of the specified IP.
05:23:49 < Iriez> doesnt that defeat the purpose of specific port forwarding?
05:24:03 < Iriez> i mean, you have a service on a certian ip, and you want the router to route to it
05:24:26 < Iriez> routing to another ip when that service is running aswell would cause a confliction. It would connect to whatever program grabs a
                  connection first
05:24:31 < Iriez> kinda like a sloppy round robin
05:30:12 < Bicchi> what i want to do is to instead of just spefiying one ip address, just take all the machines that connect to the router and allow all to
                   have port forwarding.
05:30:39 < Bicchi> in other words all the machines connected to the router will have port X forwarded.
05:31:45 < Bicchi> I just need to know how to specify the whole range of ip addresses. instead of just a single one.
05:32:23 < Bicchi> something like: 192.168.1.*
05:35:11 < Bicchi> I am doing this on "Applications & Gaming" - > "Port Range Forwarding"
05:40:11 < slugmuffin> bicchi maybe i just don't understand but why would you want to forward one port for several machines?
05:41:50 < Bicchi> because since i allways get a different ip everytime i boot my machine.
05:42:04 < Bicchi> i do not know which ip i am going to obtain.
05:42:34 < slugmuffin> why don't you set a static IP for your machines
05:42:49 < slugmuffin> that way they always get the same ip when they reconnect to the router
05:43:39 < Bicchi> i thought of doing that and as a matter of fact i dit it for my main machine but i have about 5 laptops that connect to it.
05:44:13 < Bicchi> so the job becomes easier than having to configure so many port for every mac address.
05:45:29 < slugmuffin> not sure if you can forward one port to many
05:46:03 < slugmuffin> i've always just set up the static ips and the port forwarding i needed per machine
05:46:50 < Bicchi> it would be nice to have this feature.
05:47:04 < Bicchi> the problem increases as i add more machines.
05:49:07 < Bicchi> anyway, thanks for your help.
05:49:22 < slugmuffin> yeah, sorry i wasn't of much help
05:49:23 < slugmuffin> bye
