In the next steps we will configure your router in such a way that the router allows Zultrax P2P to accept incoming connections. Your router is designed to serve multiple computers and of course multiple programs. Even if there is only one computer connected we will later on need two bits of information:
- The local IP of your computer
- The port used by Zultrax P2P
|
|
Zultrax P2P can help you to find those two bits of information. In the menu tools choose system info. This will display a page of information with various details about the program amonst which Local IP and port. Write those 2 down, you'll need them later.
It is the Local IP we are looking for, do not confuse the Local IP with the Public IP that is also shown on this system info page.

Your Linksys RV082 router is configured now. You forwarded a port for Zultrax P2P. You can start Zultrax P2P and you will see incoming connections coming up. This might be not immediatly after start up but within minutes you should see at least some incoming connections. The program will adapt itself to the new configuration.
In case you still don't have incoming connections, perhaps you also have firewall software installed that needs configuration. For that see
the Firewalls/Routers page
, the info about firewall software is somewhere at the bottom of that page.
