How to forward ports in Huawei Wa1003a series ADSL router?

[abhijit_reddevil]

Hi,

As part of the new dataone connection, BSNL has given me type-II modem (type-I not available), Huawei WA1003A series wireless router. I searched www.portforward.com and other sites but could not find procedure to forward ports to accept incoming connections from utorrent. I am using port number 16881. Can anyone guide me as to how to do this on my specific router model?

Thanks.

I dont know if i'm accurate, but my wisdom tells me that configuring your Huawei model is very much similar to configuring other Huawei models.

Follow these steps:
1. Type 192.168.1.1 in your browser.
2. Type admin in user and pass fields
2. Now follow the rest of the procedure given for other Huawei models.

If you still cant understand, i suggest you look at this tutorial:

Dude, the IP address you gave @Yrana2002, is for Tata Indicom broadband(VSNL)
and not BSNL!!! @Digitized call you customer support and ask for the IP address
to configure the router.

192.168.1.1 is ideally your DHCP server and most often your router's address. It is same for all ISPs be it BSNL or Tata Indicom ...
@ Digitized, Have a look at this page too ..

Here's how I do my custom port forwardings in WA1003A:

1. Login to your router's configuration
2. Advanced -> Port Forwarding
3. User -> New
4.
a. Rule Name: Name of the application for which you are trying to port forward
b. Protocol: TCP / UDP / Both (according to your need)
c. Port Start: The port you need to forward
d. Port End: The port you need to forward
e. Port Map: The port you need to forward
5. Apply
6. Advanced -> Port Forwarding
7. User -> Select the Rule Name
8. Add
9. Tools -> System Commands
10. Save All
11. Restart

That's it. You are done.
I had to port forward 6346 for my peer-to-peer client Shareaza. I took the tests they had recommended to take to check if I've successfully port fowarded & it worked. I suppose the tests should work for you as well since it's the port which matters & not the application.

hey guys i tried wat u said but after i click on "port forwarding" in advanced, it says that i must specify atleast one ip address in the LAN clients page.............wat the hell does that mean???? also is it necessary to set up a static ip???

how can this be possible most of routers by default use 192.168.1.1 as there default Gateway address ....as far i know all Huawei models hav this configuration .............!!!!

------------------------------------------------
If DHCP server service is enabled ....router can provide different LAN IP but then also default gateway IP can be used to acess Gateway .

go the lan setup page & enter 192.168.1.2 in it as ur lan client
