Advanced Tab not available

Port Forwarding In Beetel 440TXI modem+router



So sometimes one requires to enable port forwarding in the routers to allow few things to function in the internet setup. I know of two things. One is in correct functioning of P2P softwares like Torrents, and other is to make a web server running on one local server to be accesible from other computers in network. There maybe some similar brother-sister use cases.

For this, there are many articles/threads available on net like this and this .

But there is a small problem. The "advanced" tab or the "NAT-DMZ" or "virtual network" tabs that these pages suggest are not present in the screen that you get when you log on to http://192.168.1.1

These pages just assume that it will be available, but don't mention what is the solution if those tabs are not available. So by contacting my ISP (Airtel) I figured out that solution is you don't have to go to http://192.168.1.1 , but the correct url for this is http://192.168.1.1/html/index1.html for this purpose.

If you come across this problem, try it :)

Hope it helps.
