For a dedicated PC you
should really use a static IP address so that IP addresses will not
have to be manually updated with each broadcast. That will
eliminate going through this everytime you broadcast.
Here are the Linksys
Static IP for the Broadcast PC – Note: Whatever address you
choose must have an associated firewall rule setup in the router.

After
connecting the router, open a Web Browser (Such as Internet
Explorer or Netscape)
When
the browser opens, go to the "Address" bar and input the
Routers IP Address (The Routers default IP Address is 192.168.1.1)
then click on the Go
button or hit the [Enter]
key.
A
window will pop up prompting for a "User Name" and
"Password", leave the "User Name" blank and
input the Routers password (admin
is the routers default Password) then click on the OK
button.
After
inputting the Password, the "Setup" page should appear.
When
the "Setup" page appears, click on the Applications
& Gaming tab.
The
"Port Range Forwarding" area should appear, click on the
DMZ
sub tab and fill in the following information:
DMZ:
Set this option to Enable
when DMZ is being used.
DMZ Host IP Address:
This field needs the IP Address of the computer that is being
placed in to the DMZ. For example if the computer that needed to be
in DMZ, and it had an IP address of 192.168.1.150,
then we would input 8081
into the "DMZ Host IP Address" field.
Click
on the Save Settings

The Gateway or Router

Setting
DMZ and NAT or Port Forwarding
In our case we setup a
bcast application and make the port 8080 or 8081 and assign the
Internal IP address of the broadcast – machine. One fast way
that is less secure is to setup a DMZ – This will allow all
access to the PC while maintaining the firewall settings for other
machines.
These values are
assuming that a Linksys router is being used with a LAN IP Address of
192.168.1.1,
if not please make the appropriate changes to match the network being
used.

The
"Port Range Forwarding" area should appear, fill in the
following information:
In this example, the server that is
being used is an FTP server, and the ports that would need to be
opened are ports 8081
and 8080:
Application:
This will be the name of the Application that needs to have the
ports open. This is for reference only, it does not control the
Port Forwarding. For the sake of this example, we would input BCAST
in the "Application" field.
Start:
This will be the first port in a range of ports. Since we want
ports 8080 or 8081 to be open even though we only need one port
open we can assign a range, we will input 8080
into the "Start" field.
End:
This would be the last port in the range of ports to be forwarded*.
Since BCAST will use ports 8080-8081 to be open, we will input 8081
into the "End" field.*
Protocol:
This field indicates which protocol that the application uses
(either UDP or TCP), if unsure, leave the field set to Both.
IP
Address:
This field needs the IP Address of the computer that the ports are
being forwarded too. For example if the computer that needed the
ports forwarded to it had an IP address of 192.168.1.150,
then we would input 8081
into the "IP Address" field.
Enabled:
This box should be checked when the Application is being used, if
for some reason it should need to be disabled, uncheck the box and
the Router will stop Forwarding the ports to that computer.
Click
on the Save
Settings
button when all of the information has been input, and click on the
Continue
button when prompted, after doing this the Ports will be Forwarded.
