NetgearThe information below will assist you in setting one or more computer with iCU2 on a Netgear ADSL/Cable Router (this is for the Netgear WGR614v4 but should work on all Netgear Routers)..

*Always make sure you have the latest firmware installed on your Router before proceeding (unless otherwise stated). Check the your Router manufacturer’s Support Area on their website to obtain the newest firmware.
If you have only 1 computer to setup, or if this is the first computer you are setting up for iCU2:

On iCU2:
1: Go into Tools – Options – Ports
2: Make sure you are set to “Network” connection
3: In Normal Ports and Network Ports areas make sure you have:

Primary Port: TCP 2000
Secondary Port: TCP 2001

ie:

Normal Ports – iCU2 Listens for connections on THIS COMPUTER at the following ports
Primary (TCP): 2000 Secondary (TCP): 2001
Network / Router / Firewall Ports Routed to this computer (IP Address: 192.168.1.xxx)
Primary (TCP): 2000 Secondary (TCP): 2001

4: Also, take note of your IP Address. It most likely will not be the same as the one above. You have to take note of the IP address you see in your iCU2 window.
5:Click on OK and close iCU2

On the Netgear:

1: Log into the Netgear’s admin area (on internet explorer type in 192.168.0.1 and hit enter or go)
2: Type in your username/password for the Netgear (if you haven’t set a user/pass – it should be admin/password )
3: Go into the Advanced | Port Fowarding area
4: Click on “Add Custom Service” (do not use the iCU2 entry in the pulldown menu)
5: Make an entry for iCU2-1 with the information you collected so that your Port Forwarding Area now looks looks similar to this:

# Service Name Start Port End Port Server IP address
1 iCU2-1 2000 2001 (computer 1′s ip address)

5: Click on Save Changes
6: Try iCU2

If you want to add a second computer / iCU2 to your home network, make sure you have setup the first computer as detailed above, then do this to add the second computer:

On the second computer’s iCU2:
1: Go into Tools – Options – Ports
2: Make sure you are set to “Network” connection
3: In Normal Ports and Network Ports areas make sure you have:

Primary Port: TCP 2002
Secondary Port: TCP 2003

ie:

Normal Ports – iCU2 Listens for connections on THIS COMPUTER at the following ports
Primary (TCP): 2002 Secondary (TCP): 2003
Network / Router / Firewall Ports Routed to this computer (IP Address: 192.168.1.xxx)
Primary (TCP): 2002 Secondary (TCP): 2003

4: Also, take note of your IP Address. It most likely will not be the same as the one above. You have to take note of the IP address you see in your iCU2 window.
5:Click on OK and close iCU2

On the Netgear:

1: Log into the Netgear’s admin area (on internet explorer type in 192.168.0.1 and hit enter or go)
2: Type in your username/password for the Netgear (if you haven’t set a user/pass – it should be admin/password )
3: Go into the Advanced | Port Fowarding area
4: Click on “Add Custom Service” (do not use the iCU2 entry in the pulldown menu)
5: Make an entry for iCU2-2 with the information you collected so that your Port Forwarding Area now looks looks similar to this:

# Service Name Start Port End Port Server IP address
1 iCU2-1 2000 2001 (computer 1′s ip address)
2 iCU2-2 2002 2003 (computer 2′s ip address)

6: Click on Save Changes
7: Try iCU2

If you want to add more computers / iCU2s to your home network, it is simply a case of following the steps again for the second computer and changing the settings so that each computer/iCU2 has it’s own unique values. Ie, computer 3 would have:

Primary Port: 2004
Secondary Port: 2005

being forwarded to the local IP address of that computer.
