Command Line Port Forward Tool?
Hello everyone,
My Question is do any of you know of a command line utility for windows that can port forward threw a router. The reason being is I want to be able to take my laptop to other places around the word, launch a batch file and have my server running up in a few minutes. Thank you, all i need is a name of one thanx.

Okay... this answer depends on what kind of router it is. Is it a home router (Linksys, Netgear, Belkin, etc) or a real Cisco type router. I will provide instructions for both:
Linksys, etc - Cannot be done with CLI, instead enable remote administration via the router management page. This is usually enabled on port 8080. Then from anywhere in the world, you can type in your IP address, :, and the port number into a web browser and access your router like you are at home. Example: 24.45.227.32:8080
Cisco routers - Pretty much must be done using command line. Telnet or SSH into your router from abroad using Putty or another similar program. And issue the following commands from the config prompt:
ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.1.100 80 interface FastEthernet0/0 80
Where 192.168.1.100 is the private IP of your server, 80 is the port you want to forward, FastEthernet0/0 is the WAN port on your router (you could also put your WAN IP here).
This command obviously would need to be changed a bit depending on what your setup is and which ports you need forwarded.
