    SladeDJWilson reacted to Skipple in Need help with changing NAT Type.   
    Think of ports as a bunch of doors in and out of your network. There are thousands of doors that allow different types of network traffic to pass through. For example, when loading a HTTP webpage you communicate with the webserver through door 80 (TCP port 80) and when loading a HTTPS webpage you communicate through door 443 (TCP port 443). 
     
    The other piece to remember is the idea of internal vs external IP addresses. Your internet connection to the outside world only has a single IP address, but each device within your network has it's own internal IP address that's only known to other devices within that network. 
     
    Lets use that HTTP example from before and pretend you are hosting a website on a computer in your house. An outside user comes knocking on your network and says "Hey! I want to access that webpage! I am sending a request for the information that's port 80!". They only know the external IP address to your house, not the individual computer that's hosting the webpage. So, the router needs to know where to route that request to. (that's where the name comes from!) There is where port-forwarding comes in. There is a table within the router where you can define "If someone comes asking for information on port 80, send them to this computer." Now, the request can be completed!
     
    It's good security practice not to allow random requests to fly all over the place, so most ports are closed unless they are initialized by someone inside the network, or specifically noted within the port-forwarding table.
     
    When it comes to a video game indicating that your NAT Type is "Strict" this typically means that it can't communicate via the ports it wants to go through. Port-forwarding on your router can be a solution to this. Setting the ports on each router is slightly different, so I can't help you with a step-by-step for your specific hardware, but you should be able to find information out there for your model. 
     
    I hope this at least helped you get a better understanding of what you are looking to do.

    You won't be able to achieve nat open in your setup since your double natting having 2 routers in one network.

    Hi,
    I want to use my pc using AMD Link. By using my phone's internet.
    So when I tried to enable that and connect my phone with my PC. 
     
    It said "we were unable to automatically setup your router. Please open UDP/TCP ports 41110 and 58888 manually via your router settings"
     
    I don't know what this means need help.
    Thank you.

    Hello everyone! I'm conducting a research study for my MBA project, and I need your help! The aim of my study is to compare different work week arrangements, including 4 days, 5 days, 6 days, and other work schedules. By collecting data from individuals who are currently employed, I hope to gain insights into their preferences, experiences, and perceptions of different work week arrangements. Your participation in this survey will contribute to our understanding of work-life balance and job satisfaction. Your feedback is valuable and will help me analyze and draw meaningful conclusions. So, if you have a job, I would greatly appreciate it if you could spare a few minutes to fill out my survey using the link provided.
     
    Thank you in advance for your support

    As it comes out of the box, you can use up to 4 SATA devices (SSDs, mechanical drives, optical drives)
     
    The motherboard also has 3 pci-e slots.  In each of these slots, you could insert a pci-e to M.2 adapter card, which would allow you to install a NVME (not SATA) M.2 drive on the adapter card. It will appear as a regular SSD, but you probably won't be able to boot from it as the BIOS doesn't know how to do that.
     
    So if you use an integrated video card, you have the pci-e x16 slot available. A pci-e to M.2 adapter card will give you 4 pci-e 3.0 lanes so you'll get up to 4 GB/s read and write speeds.
    The pci-e x1 slots are pci-e 2.0 , so you'll get a maximum 500 MB/s read or write speed, a bit less than the maximum SATA can do.
     
    Here's a pci-e x4 to M.2 card - you could use this in the pci-e x16 slot: https://www.ebay.com/itm/M-2-NGFF-to-Computer-SATA-Dual-SSD-PCI-PCIe-x4-x8-x16-NVMe-Express-Adapter-Card/202760892790
    You'll notice it has two M.2 connectors. One is NVME only (goes to pci-e slot), the other is SATA only - you can connect a SATA cable between the SATA connector on the adapter and the one on your motherboard, and this way you can use a SATA M.2 drive in your PC.
    You can't use two NVME only SSDs with this adapter card, only one.
     

     
    And here's a pci-e x1  to M.2  (nvme) adapter card :
    https://www.ebay.com/itm/NVMe-PCIe-M-2-NGFF-SSD-to-PCIe-x1-adapter-card-PCIe-x1-to-M-2-card-with-brac-DFI/372777518592
    https://www.ebay.com/itm/NVMe-PCIe-M-2-NGFF-SSD-to-PCIe-x1-adapter-card-PCIe-x1-to-M-2-card-with-brac-BR/183956185592
     
    So with these cards, you could install up to 7 devices (if you plan to use integrated graphics) or 6 devices with a video card.
     
    Another option is to use HBA adapter cards, basically they're SATA controllers which create additional SATA / SAS ports.  HBA simply means the cards don't offer any RAID functionality, they just make the SATA devices available as independent devices.
    Here's some examples :
    4 sata ports : https://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-LSI-SAS9212-4i4e-6G-SATA-SAS-Host-Bus-Adapter-HBA-46C8935-46C8934-46M0907/192562587005
    cards with 2 SAS connectors - you have to use  SAS -> 4xSATA breakout cables which are easy to find... 2 SAS -> 8 SATA
    card + 2 sas->4sata cables: https://www.ebay.com/itm/LSI-SAS-9210-8i-8-port-6Gb-s-PCIe-x8-HBA-RAID-SAS-SFF-8087-to-4x-SATA-Cable/133137220890

    the SFF-8087 to 4x SATA cables : https://www.ebay.com/itm/50CM-Internal-Mini-SAS-SFF-8087-36P-to-4-x-SATA-7-Pin-External-Connector-Ca-W2R5/123883948349
    https://www.ebay.com/itm/50CM-Internal-Mini-SAS-SFF-8087-36P-to-4-x-SATA-7-Pin-External-Connector-Ca-N9A4/274017548204?epid=23020225266
     
     
    You can buy HBA cards from eBay and other places for as low as 20-30$ and they're typically pci-e x4 or pci-e x8 but pci-e is designed in such a way that a card with a bigger number of lanes will work in a slot with fewer lanes, so these adapter cards will work even if you install them in the pci-e x1 slots.
    If you can't physically insert them in the slot, you can buy riser cables / cards which create a pci-e x16 slot:  https://www.ebay.com/itm/Flexible-PCI-E-PCI-Express-cable-X1-TO-X16-Riser-Card-Extender/162820955963
    https://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-3-0-PCI-E-Express-x1-To-x16-Extender-Riser-Card-Adapter-Power-Cable-Cord/323272898679
     
    So if you use two of  these cards, one in each x1 slot, you could have up to 20 SATA devices in your PC ( 2 x 8 sata from adapter cards, 4 sata from motherboard)
