Hi Barry,

I do it from memory more than anything else, but there is a pattern.  Once
you get below the names of all the applications, the edit boxes are in that
order, so I do it by counting edit boxes.  That's all you can do, but I have
successfully forwarded ports on it.

All the best

Steve

Be careful about the wrt300n.

The port  forwarding screen reads awful!

See below for a mail i sent to BCAB re this.

I haven't had answers yet.  So Steve if you have this model help!
