I don't believe that you can do this with your TP-Link switch - you'll need to get a router to do this.

thanks for your reply usasma. I believe that I need to do this port forwarding through my NETCOMM ADL2+ broadband router connection, although am still unsure on how this is done.

The User Manual for this router doesn't show any information for setting port forwarding.
Was this router provided by your ISP? If so, I'd suggest having them walk you through port forwarding (if possible). If it's your own router, then I'd suggest contacting tech support at NetComm for a definitive answer. -------------------- - John

OK, first of all I would like to give a big thanks to all that took time out to help me.
On the lighter side of myself pulling hair out and making some errors and then correcting, I have finally conquered my mission on port forwarding. Opening up Internet Explorer (I use Mozilla, but you need IE for this task). In the address bar type in 192.168.1.1 Then on the next page type in the username and password. They both should be....admin.... Then please go to this link where you can find step-by-step instruction for port forwarding for the NETCOMM NB5 ADSL Modem: http://kb.netcomm.com.au/kb/default.asp?id=1564&Lang=1 I hope this is as helpful to those who require it in the future as it was to me. Thanks again Yowie |

Thanks for letting us know the solution! I'm sure it'll help others with the same problem when they're searching for resolution.
