which computer to port forward to?

03-17-2008

On my home network I have 2 computers behind a nat router/firewall.
Foldershare synching only worked after I disabled the firewall so I think
that means I have to configure port forwarding. I think I have to forward
these ports (80, 443, 6571, 8000).

My question is which of my two PC's do I forward these ports to?

Any help is appreciated.

What firewall are you using? FolderShare should work through most firewalls.

I'm using the firewall that comes with the Netgear Router.

Since the client is now syncing, I don't think we can diagnose the orginal
problem. If you foward those ports, syncing will happen without going through
our relay servers. If you router supports UPnP this should happen
automatically. Please post back if you run into more issues.
