computergeek Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 (edited) This has to do with the the topic called P2P in Windows, but the program I am trying to run (XAAMP Light -webserver) needs the TCP ports 80 and 3306 opened. To do this I had to acces my routers setup page. I was wondering if there was a way in windows to automate this for any router.[LATEST POST: #77912] Edited May 6, 2005 by computergeek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that Microsoft loves that idea, but those nasty boxes are all different.However, most routers accept HTTP-POST commands to change parameters. But you would have to know the correct URL for all router types. -Sven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
computergeek Posted May 1, 2005 Author Share Posted May 1, 2005 (edited) When i ment all routers it could be a differen't config for each one just that i could do it for the majority of them. Well atleast they can accept HTTP-POST. Could you show me an example of an http-post to a router and will i have to google the stuff to find out for each router or is there a databse/page. But there is no way to do it in windows then right? Thanks. Edited May 1, 2005 by computergeek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quaizywabbit Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 you'll need the password to access the router's setup/config screen [u]Do more with pre-existing apps![/u]ANYGUIv2.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
computergeek Posted May 1, 2005 Author Share Posted May 1, 2005 Wow, that sux. Most ppl who download the script won't even know what a router is...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saytun Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 I've read your other topic, now I see this. If you want people to download from YOUR webserver, they won't need to open any ports. And if you're trying to get them to run a webserver on THEIR computer, you're sadly mistaken, I sure wouldn't do that just to download some files...

computergeek Posted May 1, 2005 Author Share Posted May 1, 2005 (edited) the script creates a server on the clients computer tells the main server these are the files i have and allows others to download from the client. It's p2p and the client has to be able to host, so their ports do need to be open. >if you know of another way to host the files on the clients computer then i am all for it but otherwise this is the only way...

computergeek Posted May 4, 2005 Author Share Posted May 4, 2005 (edited) I googled it but nothing useful comes up except for the different routers that support it and how to run their setup wizard Edited May 4, 2005 by computergeek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesband Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I googled it but nothing useful comes up except for the different routers that support it and how to run their setup wizard <{POST_SNAPBACK}>How about:http://www.knoxscape.com/Upnp/NAT.htmhttp://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechn...ate/upnpxp.mspxHope they help... I, as a general rule, turn off UPNP in all routers that I install, because of security concerns. However, what you want to do does seem to be a legitimate use of a very dangerous protocol.You might look into using port triggering instead of just opening a port. Have you given any thought to how you are going to distribute the client list and shared file list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
computergeek Posted May 5, 2005 Author Share Posted May 5, 2005 (edited) Very Nice ! I will make sure to close the port when i am done with it .>Also, could someone tell me how I could implement this in Autoit, I have never had to call a dll before... [VersionIndependentProgID: HNetCfg.NATUPnP]You might look into using port triggering instead of just opening a port.>Sounds interesting and safer, but how would I set it up?Have you given any thought to how you are going to distribute the client list and shared file list?>The client list will basaically reside on a main server (already have it add the files to the database and setup but it is still being worked on!)...http://www.haloacademy.com/p2p>(back to my milk speech...)

Rex Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 U could try this software insted.WWW File Share Pro 3.0It only needs port 80 open, and it alows up/down loadhttp://www.lionmax.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
computergeek Posted May 5, 2005 Author Share Posted May 5, 2005 The problem isn't being able to host, the problem is being able to open port 80 so it can be accessed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 The only way U can do that is to know what type of router the user have, fx. i have a netgear router, to open port 80 in that i simply choose http in at drop down menu, however my old router was a NorthQ and to open port 80 in that, i had to choose Firewall > Nat > Port forwording, and then enter my port's one by one. One of my frinds have a topcom router, and to forword the P80 in that u have to choose somthing like Advance setup > komunication > port forwording a.s.o. The only way, to my nolage is to tell the user that he/she has to do the port80 forword manuley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
computergeek Posted May 5, 2005 Author Share Posted May 5, 2005 That's why i am looking into UPNP so i can can do this for the majority of routers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

computergeek Posted May 6, 2005 Author Share Posted May 6, 2005 (edited) Looks like a cool program but I want to be able to do it in Autoit which I think u might have to do by useing the dll method or objcreate method but I haven't been lucky with any of them yet Edited May 6, 2005 by computergeek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
