okay...in simple definiton, port forwarding is forwarding your port to another port or protocol. eg: your proxy port to another proxy, httt to https or socks and vice versa. Some people do this because some if her port blocked, so she need to bypass it. Or you just want to suit with your need.... happy mylot

Hi Friend, You must be more specific with your question. I doesn't have any idea about it. My suggestion is you to use some search engines to find the specific result. If you got so, post it here, may be it will be useful to someone.

Port forwarding is a process in witch you open some ports to get information from other pc's. If you have a router it is probably blocking ports and you have to open some. I remember i had to open ports a few times because my bittorent wouldn't work. But it's always good to check if your windows firewall is back on. If you have an antivirus chances are it will disable the xp firewall but sometimes it turns back on and ports get blocked again. You open ports by typing your ip into url box and entering password and than you're in the router and you have to configer ports. Time consuming staff i told you most of what i know, hope it helps.
