How do I configure IPNetRouter to work with Timbuktu?

In order for Timbuktu Pro to work through a firewall (IP masquerading), UDP port 407 and TCP ports 1417 through 1420 must be open. Timbuktu Pro uses UDP port 407 for connection handshaking and then switches to the TCP ports for Timbuktu Services: Control (1417), Observe (1418), Send (1419), and Exchange (1420). Chat, Notify, and Intercom use Dynamic TCP ports. Netopia’s web site covers this in greater detail. As explained there, how Timbuktu 2 and Pro work with port mapping varies somewhat. If you search our nettalk web archives on the term “Timbuktu” you will find a host of solutions to all sorts of different Timbuktu deployments. You can map ports using the Port Mapping window in IPNetRouter. See the Inbound Port Mapping section.
