Configuring a 3Com Home Connect Wireless Gateway for LapLink - Search Again

SUMMARY

I have a 3COM Home Connect Wireless Gateway on my home computer. I want to make a connection over the Internet with LapLink. How can I do this?

SOLUTION

There are two possible solutions:

• If you need to use LapLink only once, an easy and temporary solution is to move your DSL modem (or whatever device is providing Internet access) cable into one of the LAN ports on the 3Com Home Connect Wireless Gateway from the WAN port. The LAN ports are ports 1 through 3. This completely bypasses all firewall protection provided by the gateway.

• If you want to configure a permanent solution, you can open the firewall port that LapLink needs to communicate over the Internet. 3COM Technical Support provides detailed instructions in their knowledgebase article 2.0.64539491.3107114


Note: Another helpful document is their knowledgebase article 2.0.61603699.3065411

As you follow the steps in these documents, you need to know that LapLink uses Port 1547.
