Most routers I’ve worked with (Netgear included) do not allow you to redirect ports to a broadcast address. This is what I’m struggling with. So that bit is not as easy as you might think.
I guess I’ve been lucky then because the two that I’ve had do allow redirect ports to a broadcast address. The one that’s working right now is a D-Link DIR-655. I know my old Belkin also works but I don’t know the model number (it broke so I’ve already tossed it away).
Hi, how do I determine the broadcast address of my router?
You can figure it out with the netmask and the router’s IP address. So if your router’s address is 192.168.1.1 and the netmask is 255.255.255.0, then your broadcast address is 192.168.1.255. Another example, if your router’s address is 10.1.1.1 and your netmask is 255.255.0.0, then your broadcast address is 10.1.255.255.
