How to: Orb port forwarding

Today I found some free time to sort out my home entertainment needs and that meant configuring Orb to work on my Nintendo Wii. This would mean full access to all my digital media from the comfort of my living room.

The problem is that most routers will need the correct ports forwarding before you'll be able to access your media. This is even an issue when you're only using the Orb internally, because the router will still be routing the traffic. Unfortunately there's very little information available on the Internet regarding what ports to forward. Therefore I felt it worthwhile me putting up the information that I found for others to see.

The above screenshot shows how I've got Orb configured in my router and it works fine (it's a BT Homehub in case you're wondering). With the above configuration you should be able to get your Orb to work properly.

I hope this information is useful, if you see something that isn't quite correct then let me know but this config works well for me. Happy Orbing.
