Any idea how to portforward a minecraft server on ubuntu linux with a dlink EBR-2310 router?
First, find the IP address of the router. On a Linux system, open a terminal and type "route -n". Make note of the "gateway" column in the output. In that column, locate the IP address, which normally starts with 192.168. Open this address in a browser. You will be prompted to provide a username and password, which might have been provided by your internet provider or set manually by yourself or another user. The default login is "admin" as username and a blank password, so try that if you don't know anything else.
Once logged in, go to the "Advanced" tab and then the "Port Forwarding" page. For "Name" fill in whatever you want, something that describes what this forward is for, so Minecraft would be good. For IP Address, fill in the IP address of your linux machine (to find this: open a terminal, type "ifconfig", find the item labelled eth0 and then the IP address will be listed as "inet addr"). Start and end ports should be the port(s) that your Minecraft server runs on. Check its settings and/or Minecraft documentation to find this out. If it's just a single port, enter it as both start and end port. For Traffic Type, select "Any". Finally, check the checkbox in front of the input fields and click the Save Settings button.
