Discovering ports.

Hello all. I just got a new Belkin wireless router, and I am trying to set it up s.t. I can connect to my servers from the outside. With my previous linksys router, I could just use the test and set method, i.e. try to connect to my computer from the outside, and read the security log on the router to see what ports were being accessed.

Unfornatly, my new Belkin router does not have this feature. Is there any way to tell what ports an application is trying to connect to from the client side? Speficailly, I am trying to mount my home drives across the internet. I have already opened the necessary ports to handshake, but apparently anything past that requires ports that I do not have open.

Also, for anyone with a belkin router, how do you set port ranges? I wouldn't mind just routing every single port to my main computer, since I am using the router just so I can use my laptop, which runs zero services.

WHat do u mean u are trying to MOUNT your HD drives across the net. WHY ON EARTH WOULD U WANT TO DO THAT?
If you are talking VPN or something, thats a different story. WHat services are u trying to use?
I hope for your sake it isn't netbios.

1. "Across the Net" == "Across Campus." I work in a computer lab 40 hours a week, and with access to my files at home I can be a lot more productive.

2. I have a drive shared using windows file sharing, with permissions set so only admins can access it. Is this secure? I don't know. If you know something that would work better -- please share.

But in any case, I would like to know for other thing, such as getting certain p2p programs working.

No, I need to manipulate these files as if they were on a drive. Also, this is not just for files. There are other daemons on the computer I do need to discover ports for ...

Yes, but that doesn't really help me in the future, and that information is no longer avaliable.
