Port Forwarding for a PPoA device connected to Time Capsule

Hi - advice please.
Relevant hardware configuration:
iMac
Time Capsule 1Tb -latest dual band version*
Vigor 120 ADSL modem*
Vodafone Sure Signal
I recently upgraded my old D-Link ADSL router with the starred items* above. Really pleased with the performance of my Time Capsule and ADSL modem - it's much faster and more reliable.
Problem
However I have one piece of hardware that will not work on the new set up - the Vodafone Sure Signal which boosts my 3G signal using my ADSL connection. As I live in a mobile signal blackspot this is a big deal for me.
*Possible solution?*
I've read on a Vodafone forum that the issue is that Sure Signal box needs a PPoA connection - the TC is PPoE. I've read on some of the forum threads that the Vodafone box might work if *port forwarding* is set up on the Time Capsule.
I'd like to give this a go and I have the TCP / UDP settings but do not know how to set this up in the Airport Utility. Can anyone offer any help or advice on how to achieve this?
Also do I need to set anything up on the ADSL modem? This modem does not require bridge mode as it's a straight through connection to the ISP (that's why I bought it!)
The only other option I can see is to take out the new ADSL modem (pity) and put in the old D-Link (disabling the wi-fi so it's just a router) and configuring the Time Capsule to bridge mode.
Many thanks to the Community for any advice received.

If your Modem has a wifi router in it: yes the TC in "create network" and "bridge mode", and -if there is such setting -  set the TC "allow this network to be extended". The Express set in "extend the network".

  • 4 out of 5 devices connect to Time capsule. Last one to try to connect fails to connect, no matter which device it is.

    Prior to problem: All 5 devices (iMac, Mac Air, iPad and (2) iPhone 4) were surfing wirelessly on Airport express.
    Replaced AE with Time Capsule.
    Problem: Wife's iPhone could not connect to T.C. Other 4 devices connect without problem. Wife's iPhone can surf other wireless networks. After doing a total shut down of all devices and restart of each, starting with 3rd party router, then T.C., then each device one at a time... wife's iPhone can connect, but Mac Air can not. Observed that in each case, the one that can't connect is the last one to be restarted and attempt to connect. Did this a 3rd time. I chose my iPhone to be the last to try to connect . My iPhone can't connect but all other devices are connected. Every case: last to connect can't connect.
    Steps taken before realizing it was the "last device to try connecting" (back when I thought it was simply my wife's iPhone): Wifi Off/On. "Forget Network." Reset Network Settings. Power iPhone Off/On. Power T.C. Off/On. Turned T.C. wireless security Off/On. All these were done multiple times.
    It appears there is no hardware issue since all are capable of connecting to T.C., just not at the same time. I don't know much about protocols and addresses. Could it be that T.C. is fouling up the assignment of an address or channel or route or whatever to the 5th device that tries to connect? Is the 5th device left without a address, channel or route to the T.C.?
    My security is WPA2 Personal. It's on. The password is alphanumeric 9 characters. On my iPhone that can't connect, the satus wheel is spinning continuously beside my network's name. Tapping the blue arrow for more info shows the window that has "Forget this network" at the top, followed by DHCP, BootP and Static. DHCP is selected. The following fields are listed: IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, DNS, Search Domain and Client ID. Most times, all of these fields are blank. Right now, the first two fields are filled in. IP address starts with 169 and subnet mask is 255.255.0.0
    Please help.

    Right now, the first two fields are filled in. IP address starts with 169 and subnet mask is 255.255.0.0
    That is auto IP and means the device was not able to pick up an IP from the dhcp server.
    I am scratching my head.. it is not one I have seen with Mac stuff or on these columns since I started answering questions.. it is seen in mixed environments fairly often that stuff doesn't play nice with each other. But Mac - Apple has shown fairly consistent wireless functionality.
    Is the TC brand new? Did you ring Apple and ask if they can sort it?
    When you are using 100% apple environment, to me that is their job to figure out.
    For what you can do, I would try and flash the TC back to 7.5.2 firmware. I have heard people say the latest TC that is not allowed but have a go.. if you run Lion certainly download and use exclusively 5.6 airport utility.
    Is the TC set to router or bridge? Is the TC the only router?
    Could you bypass at least the issue for now using the airport express plugged into the TC as an AP??

  • How do you set up Port Forwarding for ARD 2.2 in AEB N?

    Help,
    I'm a novice at Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) - not an IT guy, so it has to be pretty basic and detailed.
    How do you set up Port Forwarding for ARD 2.2 on the Apple Airport Extreme BS router, 802.11 N. I have one at each end of the internet connection. At one end I have an Airport Extreme N router with 2 macs and eventually 1 windows XP machine (if I can) that I would like to be able to connect to over the interenet (the clients) and at the other end, I have a Mac with ARD 2.2 installed also with an Airport Extreme N router. Note: Both routers use Static IP addresses and all computers use static IP's internally not through DHCP. What are the settings or directions to do this.
    I have read and printed out the directions for Configuration of ARD 3.0 that are posted many times in the ARD discusion group, but it uses a Linksys router ( http://www.starkpr.com/ard.htm posted by Dave Sawyer). The Mac router is different, particularly with the place to set a Private IP address. I'm not sure about alot of things, but especially about the Private IP address, what number do I set it to, the one that is in my Network connections list? It automatically changes to a different number in AE N setup for Port Forwarding (by one) as if it is not suppose to the same?????
    Are there any directions available that are as straight forward for the Airport Extreme N router, as the one's that are listed here for the Linksys Router's? ( http://www.starkpr.com/ard.htm )
    Any and All help will be greatly appreciated.
    P.S. I know I should have 3.0 but bought 2.2 just weeks before 3.0 came out and they would not give me an upgrade price, so I'm waiting for 4.0 to upgrade.
    Thanks,
    Jim

  • Port Forwarding for L2TP/IPSec VPN Behind Verizon Actiontec MI424WR-GEN2 Rev. E v20.21.0.2

    I've got a NAS setup with various services running on custom ports to help minimize exposure (especially to script kiddies). I've tested everything both internally and externally to confirm they all work, and even had someone at a remote location confirm accessibility as well.  Port forward configurations performed on the Actiontec are working well. 
    I installed an L2TP/IPSec VPN server, tested internally and it connected successfully.  So for all intents & purposes, this validates that the VPN server is correctly configured to accept inbound connections and functioning correctly.
    I logged into the Verizon Actiontec MI424WR router, setup port forwarding for UDP ports 500, 1701 & 4500.
    Note: I added the AH & ESP protocols based on what I saw on the built-in L2TP/IPSec rules
    With the port forwarding in place, I tested VPN externally but it didn't connect.
    I've done the following so far to no avail:
    Double & triple checked the port forwards, deleted & recreated the rules a few times to be sure
    There are no other pre-existing L2RP/IPSec port forward rules or otherwise conflicting port forward rules (e.g.: another rule for ports 500, 1701 or 4500)
    There was an L2TP port triggering rule enabled, that I toggled on and off with no change
    Verified the firewall on VPN server had an exclusion for L2TP, or that the firewall is off. (Firewall is off to reduce a layer of complexity, but it worked internally to begin with so I doubt that's the issue.)
    Since it works internally, and there are no entries in the logs on the device indicating inbound connections, I'm convinced its an issue with the Verizon Actiontec router.  But unfortunately, I'm not sure what else to try or where else to look to troubleshoot this.  For instance, is there a log on the router that I can view in real time (e.g.: tail) that would show me whether or not the inbound connection attempt is reaching the device, and whether or not the device allowed or blocked it?
    My router details:
    Verizon Actiontec
    MI424WR-GEN2
    Revision E
    Firmware 20.21.0.2
    Verizon Actiontec built-in L2TP/IPSec rule templates.  They're not currently in use, but are baked into the firmware for easy configuration/selection from a drop down menu.

    normally a vpn on that router, will have a GRE tunneling protocol as well.
    two ways to build the PF rules,
    Manually
    Preconfigured
    I know the preconfigured VPN rules will do the GRE protocol as well, but if you do it by hand you can't get it.

  • Port forwarding for WOW

  • Port forwarding for clientless SSL VPN access

    Hello,
    I am currently trying to set up clientless SSL VPN access for some remote sites that our company does business with. Since their machines are not owned by my company, we don't want to install/support a VPN client. Therefore, SSL is a great option.
    However, I'm running into an issue. I'm trying to set up port forwarding for a few remote servers. These remote servers are different and have distinct IP addresses. They are attempting to connect with two different servers here.
    But my issue is that both servers are trying to use the same TCP port. The ASDM is not letting me use two different port forwarding rules for the same TCP port. The rules can exist side-by-side, but they cannot be used at the same time.
    Why? It's not trying to access the same TCP port on a server when it's already in use. Is there anyway I can get around this?
    If this doesn't make sense, please let me know and I'll do my best to explain it better.

    Hi Caleb,
    if you mean clientless webvpn port-forwarding lists, then you should be able to get your requirments. even the same port of the same server can be mapped to different ports bound to the loopback IP.
    CLI:
    ciscoasa(config) webvpn
    ciscoasa(config-webvpn)# port-forward PF 2323 192.168.1.100 23
    ciscoasa(config-webvpn)# port-forward PF 2300 192.168.1.200 23
    then you apply the port-forwarder list under a group-policy
    Hope this helps

  • Problems with Port Forwarding for RDP in WebVPN

    Hi,
    I'm hoping somebody can help me solve this problem that's been bugging for weeks. We recently implemented a double-layer firewall architecture. Before that, our users can access RDP via port forwarding on WebVPN or the Cisco VPN client without any problems.
    After we implemented the double-layer firewall architecture, users who are going through the WebVPN and port forwarding for RDP began to experience frequent disconnections, slowness or freezing connections. The users who are using the client are fine.
    I checked the logs and I'm getting repetitive TCP-O for the port forwarding connections for RDP. Additional information: the FW we installed as a 2nd layer is Netscreen. I've already set the policy on it to Any-Any for the meantime to help in troubleshooting but to no avail. 
    I hope somebody can help me in sorting this out as I'm kind of confused on the difference between the port-forwarding for RDP via the WebVPN and the normal RDP via the client.  

    Hi,
    I didnt see anything marked with red in the above? (Atleast when I was reading)
    I have not really had to deal with Routers at all since we all access control and NAT with firewalls.
    But to me it seems you have allowed the traffic to the actual IP address of the internal server rather than the public IP NAT IP address which in this case seems to be configured to use your FastEthernet4 interfaces public IP address.
    There also seems to be a Static NAT configured for the same internal host so I am wondering why the Static PAT (Port Forward) is used?

  • I have the new Air Port Extreeme model A1521 and I need to set up port forwarding for HTTP. HTTP is not on the list in the set up. Does anyone know if any of those choices work for HTTP?

    I am on a Windows 7 Ultimate PC and right now there is no Airport utility for setting up the new Apple Extreme so you have to do it on your iPad or iPhone. Does anyone know how to set up port forwarding for HTTP to get to DVR security cameras? There is nothing in the list that indicates HTTP port forwarding.

    Thanks for your reply Tesserax as I did figure this out on my own. It took a bit because all of the options are not clear what they are for like the previous Airport Extreme and Apple does not support or guarantee that port forwarding will work for you application nor did any of the Apple support persons I spoke too have any knowledge for this feature. You also have to fill in the public if you are viewing through someone else's Wi-Fi or on your cell phone carrier network. This new Airport Extreme is a bit different since you cannot use the Airport utility on a PC like the older model and if anyone else is reading this they should be aware that if you do not have an Apple computer, iPhone or iPad and I'm not sure if some of the other network enabled devices like iPod Touch that you must use that can do it, there is no Airport utility for the PC and you would be wasting your money or have to take it back and get another brand wireless router to use if you do not own any of the above mentioned Apple products.

  • Not enough port fields in port forwarding for Linksys E4200

    I have always used netgear routers in the past. After a series of issues regarding configurations not working correctly I invested in what appeared to be a semi pro router, the cisco linksys e4200.
    I have a centralized server which I use to access a mass of different services such as mail, dns, VPN, FTP, Kerberos, http and many more. While I am not a massive networking nerd, this server setup is like my garage project. To access these services externally to my LAN as far as I understand I would need to configure port forwarding for each service to my server. Unfortunately the control panel for the linksys E4200 only offers about 15 custom port fields for forwarding, and some documentation I have read shows that with it's basic install my server could be using up to 60 ports at once.
    Is this router just not suitable for this sort of network. If so I will be very disappointed because I have spent a quarter of the price on netgear routers with more control than this.
    If anybody could assist with details and options I would greatly appreciate it

    Wrong forum, use "small business routers".

  • Port forwarding for Time Capsule

    Could someone be so kind as to forward instructions for portforwarding ports 80, 443,4125, and 554 on my time capsule?
    Im a novice user at best but I want to learn to set up security cameras for my small bussiness. Im useing an air link101 IP camera system.
    Any help would be great.

    Port forwarding on a Time Capsule is done in AirPort Utility's Advanced panel, Port Mapping tab.  You'll also need to use the Internet panel, DHCP tab, to reserve a fixed IP address to the camera so that the Time Capsule can forward to a definite address.

  • Help with port forwarding for the WRT54G

    I need assistance please!
    I am having issues trying to setup port forwarding for a ftp. I already have set this up for a SQL Server port and it works remotely. When I setup another rule for ftp using port range 20-21 it does not work.
    I have confirmed that I have saved my settings, have the correct IP address, etc. I have firmware version 4.21.1 and not sure how to troubleshoot this. Any help would be great.
    Thanks,
    John

    Yes you do need to have the port already forwarded for port 20~21 with both TCP/IP and UDP enabled unless you know for sure your ftp only uses just one of them.  That is why I asked what port your SGL was set to.  Follow the link that other guy posted and open port 20 and 21 (I only use 21 with no problems) and make sure it is directed to the IP of the ftp host.  Also that PC needs to have the FTP enabled in windows.  To do that go to your control panel > add/remove software > and on the left side go to add/remove windows components.  Then check the box for the ftp and add it.  It should ask for your windows CD do have it handy when you add the ftp component to your PC.

  • We traded our home internet service for a Sprint Hot Spot.  The hot spot does not have an ethernet port to connect through.  Can we connect our time capsule to the wireless hot spot?

    Hello, we switched our home internet service from an ethernet modem to a wireless hot spot. 
    Do you know if there is a way to connect our time capsule to the hot spot? 
    Everything I read only suggests connecting through an ethernet cable.  I'm hoping there is a way to do this.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks!!!

    No you can't join a wireless hotspot with a Time Capsule directly via it's 'join' option (tried and failed - well to be exact it kinda works but the Time Capsule's ethernet ports no longer work).
    What you can do is buy an airport express and use it's 'join' option to connect to the iPhone's hotspot. Then you connect the airport express via ethernet to the time capsule (in bridge-mode).
    You can then connect your computers to the time capsule via ethernet or use it's wireless function to set up wireless network (with a different name to that of the hotspot) that your wifi stuff can connect to.
