Hello, I have port 407 (Timbuktu) set to one computer's IP address, and I want to switch it to allow me to see a different computer's address, what command do I use in the router for that?
Thanks

Zeebe,

There's a couple things you could do, you could just setup another port so you can see both computers. There are several sites that list alternate port numbers for Timbuktu, then you can port map the router to the machine you want to view. Sometimes I also use the trick of getting into one computer and then viewing another from the computer on the internal network. Works a little slow, but it does work.

Here is a link that shows you all the ports that can be configured:

There is also a technote about Timbuktu and configuring the ports.

Nice to see another fellow MN person on here, hope this helps.

It's all just a bunch of ones and zeros!

OK, thanks I got that information, but what do I type to add a port, It has been so long since I did and I can't find my information on it.
