AirPort Extreme port forwarding, problems occurring. Please help.

Yesterday I discovered the game I have been playing allows for home servers. We are allowed  to host our own game server for other people to join and play along. This game uses ports: UDP 19132 and TCP 19132 (which I think is optional, but UDP is defiantly needed) to host a server at home. We are paired with Comcast internet, using an AirPort Extreme (latest firmware) router with airport utility (latest firmware) on an iMac (1 generation behind I think).
Now the problem:
- I want to host this game server on my laptop! Not the iMac!
- The laptop uses Ubuntu and the brand is HP. It is connected wirelessly to my AirPort Extreme router. Now since it is not connected directly to the router, and is not an apple product I am not able to change the router settings from my laptop (I can deal with this, I'll just go downstairs and change the settings on the iMac).
- Yesterday I went into AirPort Utility. I proceeded to click 'Edit' on the router picture in airPort Utility. Then I went to the tab where you can reserve a dchp or port forward. I added a new port aimed at: UDP public: 19132 ; TCP public: 19132 ; Private IP: 1.0.1.201 ; UDP private: 19132 ; TCP private: 19132 (I did not mess with the 'reserve dchp' setting). Then I went to my laptop and used a VPN to test out the connectivity of the port and server. Sadly I couldn't connect to my server it didn't work. I then deleted the port since it didn't work.
- Today I did exactly what I did yesterday, except... I reserved a dchp for my laptop (keep in mind I had no idea what I was doing and i still dont) using its hardware mac adress. I also named the dchp reserve: mylaptop. Then i restarted the router, went to port checking websites and they still said my external ip had port 19132 closed.
- I know for sure it's not my server or it's properties.
FYI: I used multiple port checker websites after completing my port forwarding, each and everyone of those sites said my external IP address has port 19132 closed when obviously I opened them. I also tried to bridge my linksys wrt54gsv4 router to my AirPort Extreme router and tried to port from the router menu of the linksys router. That ultimately failed.
Please help, thank you for reading all of this.

Hi, thanks for the reply. Been pulling my hair out trying to get this to work. Paid so much money just to have it connected to the playstation but its not letting me do that.
I have a 60gb Playstation 3 not a Xbox 360, so it comes with wifi.
I have been trying this non stop and about to give up. I hae been following what the playstation manual says. Its telling me to scan for access points but everytime I do this, it just has SSID: default, Security: none, Signal Strength: 45%.
I dont understand this cos I named my SSID as Garcia Home which shows on my mac and it also has full bars for the airport on my menu bar. The playstation is located in the room next to mine so it can't be 35-40% only for signal strength.

  • TS4597 AirPort base station not seen or "An unexpected error occurred" appears in AirPort Utility 6.3 - It did the above steps and cannot get airport utility to allow access to the Airport extreme in order to reconfigure please help

    I tried following the article's instructions by going into System Preferences / Network and changing the configure ipv6 tab to Link local only and I STILL am getting the same error. Can someone please advise how to get this ariport extreme back online and configured

    I'm in a frustrating predicament with this error, so if folks have any suggestions, that would be greatly appreciated...
    A few days ago my internet stopped working as best i know out of the blue (3rd gen Airport Extreme with a couple iPhones, iPad, Apple TV's, Mac's (one with Mavericks) on it).  In trying to fix it, I powered down everything and reset the router.  When the router is initializing (seen through the Airport utility), the internet starts working again on the Mac in which I'm running the Airport utility. (a browser in background loads a previously unloadable webpage).  I'm then left with a screen where the Airport utility is waiting for me to enter set-up info:
    If I leave the Airport Utility in this state and don't hit next, my internet works fine on my Mac.  If I set-up this info, however, my internet no longer works (in Airport Utility the Internet globe has a orange circle saying internet disconnected) and I get a screen saying "An unexpected error occured.  Try again."  I've tried toggling a number of router settings, restarting the router, but nothing seems to fix it.
    I've taken the router to Apple, where they were able to create a network fine with the router.  I also bought a new AE router, and tried an old AE express router, but all attempts get the same error.  I've also tried using the iOS Airport utility, but that doesn't seem to help.  I've tried the older version (5.6) of Airport Utility run on a non-Mavericks Mac, but that didn't help.
    I had a ISP technician come out, but they basically said the plug (we don't have a modem, but just a ethernet plug in our apartment)  in which you're getting the internet from us is working, and it's your router.  They're diagnostics said the router is 'throwing off a bunch of errors.'  That being said, they've confirmed the setting on the AE are okay (as far as they know...).
    Any thoughts here?  I'm not especially network-proficient, but searching around has pointed me to potential issues with mavericks, IPv6, and the latest version of the Airport Utility. 
    I'm desperate - please help!
    Much thanks in advance.

  • New Airport Extreme Issues... Please Help

    I just got my Air Port Extreme 802.11n base station. Whenever I update settings on it, it doesn't automatically restart, i have to manually power cycle it to get it to function again. Also I connect to the internet via an ethernet LAN (think dorm setup) when i get the station configured properly and the light to show green I cannot connect to the wireless network, when I try airport says that an error has occurred thats it, although I do get internet when I connect to the base station via an ethernet cable. Any ideas or suggestions to help these oddities?

    use Airport Utility and check the information you are getting from the router. Does it show orange light or not; if yes then double click it and find out what it is telling you. From your information you need to examine your wireless settings.
    You can go to Apple/support and type in Airport Extreme and review the pdf file for creating airport Extreme networks.

  • Fully Connected to AirPort Extreme, But With No Internet (PLEASE HELP!)

    I have spent my Labor Day trying to figure out what is wrong with my wireless connection to no avail. I am entirely frustrated and would appreciate any helpful advice that can be offered.
    Here's the deal:
    Yesterday afternoon, the two computers on my wireless network (an iMac PowerPC G4 and a Dell Inspiron E1705 laptop) lost connection to the Internet. We had lost power earlier in the day, but didn't have any issues immediately after it was restored. A few hours later, it just stopped.
    Today, I started troubleshooting to figure out how to fix it. The Dell had no trouble finding the network and connecting, but it was only connecting "locally." Same with mine. We've also got a Nintendo Wii connected wirelessly, but it was also not working. Lastly, we have an HP Photosmart C4280 printer plugged into the AirPort's USB. Despite not being able to get on the Internet or restore Wi-Fi to the Wii, we are still able to print without issue (from both computers).
    At one point, I got Internet back on my iMac, but I kept messing around with the network settings in the hopes of getting everything back to normal and lost it again. I've been mainly playing around three different settings: the AirPort Admin Utility (changing Channels in the AirPort tab, checking boxes in the Network tab, etc.), the AirPort Setup Assistant (messing around with the Wireless Security), and the Network Control Panel (clicking things I don't understand in the TCP/IP tab, etc.).
    At first, I thought the issue was with my security settings, so I tried setting up the AirPort without a password, and still could not connect with the iMac, Dell, or Wii. In a last-ditch effort, I went out and bought a Linksys Simultaneous Dual-N Band Wireless Router, which restored the Internet to the iMac, Dell, and Wii. Problem is, I love the AirPort (and do not want to sacrifice wirelessly printing through its USB).
    I am completely frustrated! If anyone has any suggestions whatsoever, please help me out. It would be greatly appreciated!!
    Have a great night!

    Ok, I'm going to assume that you are using the newer AirPort Utility and not the older AirPort Admin Utility that originally came on the CD with your AEBS.
    If this is correct, the following would be the basic settings:
    Either connect to the AEBS's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the LAN port of the AEBS, and then, using the AirPort Utility in Manual Setup, check these settings:
    AirPort - Base Station tab
    o Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    o Base Station Password: <enter the desired administrator's password, the default is "public">
    o Verify Password: <re-enter the desired password>
    o Set time automatically: (optional)
    o Allow configuration over Ethernet WAN port: (optional)
    AirPort - Base Station - Base Station Options
    o Contact: (optional)
    o Location: (optional)
    AirPort - Wireless tab
    o Wireless Mode: Create a wireless network
    o AirPort Network Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    o Radio Mode: 802.11b/g compatible
    o Channel: Automatic
    o Wireless Security: None
    AirPort - Wireless - Wireless Options
    o Multicast Rate: 2 Mbps
    o Transmit Power: 100%
    o Create a closed network (unchecked)
    o Use Interference Robustness: Not enabled
    Internet - Internet Connection tab
    o Connect Using: Ethernet
    o Configure: Using DHCP
    o DNS Server(s): (optional)
    o Domain Name: (optional)
    o DHCP Client ID: (optional)
    o Ethernet WAN Port: Automatic (Default)
    o Connection Sharing: Share a public IP address
    Internet - DHCP tab
    o DHCP Range: <leave default or enter desired range>
    o DHCP Beginning Address: <leave default or enter desired beginning address>
    o DHCP Ending Address: <leave default or enter desired ending address>
    o DHCP Lease: <leave default or enter desired lease duration>
    o DHCP Message: (optional)
    o LDAP Server: (optional)
    Internet - NAT tab
    o Enable default host at: (unchecked)
    o Enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol: (unchecked)
    Once you verified that you can get Internet access for all of your computers, you should secure your wireless network. To do so, I suggest that you make these changes:
    AirPort - Wireless tab
    o Wireless Security: WPA/WPA2 Personal or WPA2 Personal
    o Wireless Password: <enter desired wireless encryption password>
    o Verify Password: <re-enter desired wireless encryption password>

  • Airport Extreme and DYNDNS problem - TESSERAX PLEASE READ THIS

    Good evening to all.
    I've a problem with the configuration of an airport base station with dynamic DNS.
    I followed the advice of TESSERAX here, but without success: airport does not connect to DynDNS and does not update the IP address.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3413
    Days ago I was able to run DYNDNS but with completely different parameters, as described here (scroll to the middle, at the chapter: "Setup Your Dynamic Global Hostname in the AirPort or Time Capsule") :
    http://dyn.com/support/airport-time-capsule-with-dynamic-dns/#setup-apple-airpor t
    Unfortunately, after making some changes in the airport configuration (which is abolutely not related to the DYNDNS), this has stopped updating the IP. I've tried to restore the configuration, reflash ecc but without success.
    This is my configuration:
    - PC Windows XP-SP3 running AirPort Utility 5.5.3 (FWIW there is an annoying bug that prevents you from writing the dot "." in the hostname field, the only solution is to use the copy-paste).
    - AirPort Extreme with 7.6 firmware ( 7.6.1 also available but I've read that isn't much better)
    I also own an AirPort Express 2nd gen with 7.6.2 firmware, I've tried to use this in the place of airport extreme but idem, no success.
    So, please please please HELP ME. Thanks everyone, Damiano

    Hello Tesserax, happy to read you.
    Yes, I referred to the part #2 of your guide but I've also read many of your other posts about it. In fact, let me thank you for your willingness, it's people like you that make the web a better place.
    I also spent a good part of the night reading all the other threads on DynDNS but without success.
    As for my DynDNS account, this is obviously a free account. The host name is like "<pc-name>.dyndns.org" as the user name using my email address (with or without domain "@ gmail.com" works anyway).
    Click here to see a screenshot: http://i33.servimg.com/u/f33/16/33/96/86/dyndns13.jpg
    In desperation, I also called a friend who lent me his Netgear modem/router, which supports DynDNS: well, it was enough to enter hostname, username and password so that everything started to work perfectly.
    I am truly saddened
    There's also an odd thing I don't understand: if I press the CTRL key and EDIT simultaneously in the AirPort window, appear three other fields... What are these?
    Click here to see a screenshot: http://i33.servimg.com/u/f33/16/33/96/86/airpor10.jpg
    Thanks in advance for all the help you'll give me. Damiano

  • PB's Airport Extreme card not staying connected - please help diagnose

    My thread Airport extremem card can't hang onto wifi signal - what to do? in the "Getting Online" forum hasn't generated a solution, so I'm trying here too.
    In the past few weeks, my airport signal bounces around and randomly disconnects me. It goes from no signal (indicated) to 3 bars then bounces around. It occurred with my own Airport Extreme card (in the PB) and my Belkin router, and the library's wifi.
    The problem may have started after an erase-and-install of Panther with an upgrade using the combo 10.3.9. The only security updates I see receipts or packages of are SecUpd2005-004Pan.pkg, SecUpd2007-002Pan.pkg, SecurityUpdate2004-10-27Pan.pkg.
    The usual troubleshooting (Permissions, Chrons, Disk Warrior) didn't solve anything. Since first posting about this problem I've reapplied the 10.3.9 combo. I tried changing the channel on the router and setting it to Protected Mode.
    "Protected Mode
    NOTE: In most situations, best performance (throughput) is achieved with Protected Mode OFF. If you are operating in an environment with HEAVY 802.11b traffic or interference, best performance may be achieved with Protected Mode ON."
    I then installed Airport 4.2 update because Software Updater presented it as an option.
    Until today iStumbler and MacStumbler were showing 29-35% signal strength with no noise. As of today, iStumbler is showing intermittent noise of ~14-21%, but MacStumbler is not. (It was constant when I tried channel 9 and changing the router's back to 10 made it intermittent.)
    The router is serving a desktop computer via ethernet so I can't move it. I have reset the router and cable modem several times with no improvement.
    Does anyone have any ideas what I can do? Thanks.

    I would have come back to edit this, to say that the dropping signal problem came back since the 10.3.9 combo but I couldn't. The darn wifi signal was lost for something like 7 minutes.
    The PB was sitting in exactly the same place and toggling airport on and off wouldn't reconnect it. It generated many lines in the console. Anyone know what this means?

  • Airport Extreme and Windows 7. Please help!

    I am trying to hook up a PC, running Windows 7, to our airport via wireless. It will connect to the network but then it says No Internet access. The PC works on a normal router (non-apple) but will not connect to internet via airport. I have searched and searched but I cannot figure this out.
    Can someone please help? This is the 3rd PC i have tried to connect and none have worked.

    OK, sound like yours is setup very similar to mine, which means there is another device controlling the IP address allocation (DHCP) and possibly the internet access.
    Where the Broadband phone line enters the building there should be a modem and or router, depending on the type of line you have. I have an ADSL Router which combines both and it is that, that is controlling everything. So you will probably need to access that too, its IP address will usually be the first IP address.
    Now your IP address will be a variation of 3 main private ones that is the same on every internal network. So as the IP addresses are handled by this other device we still don't know if you are using DHCP which is what allocates IP addresses automatically. Again at my work location DHCP is disabled deliberately to help prevent unauthorised access.
    Have you access o a working Mac and are you able to see if the IP address is set manually or automatically ?
    If it is manually you will need to setup the PC manually too. This is a pain if you are going to have regular requests to connect PC's plus you will need to ensure that you don't use an address you've allocated to someone else or that is reserved for DHCP or anything else.
    Now you can do this yourself but this is looking increasingly like you need a local network expert, as it is so much easier when you can actually see the machines.
    My address range is 192.168.1.x with my Gateway ending in .1 and my APEx ending in .100 this is the most common one, but there is also 10.0.0.x and another I think start 169 ?? but I've never used that one and you only need to keep this info out of the reach of students and other undesirables within range of the APEx !
    Before going any further, when a PC tries to connect what is the IP address it is using, normally DHCP is enabled and it will try to get the address automatically if it is successful it will be in the same range as you are are using, if not it will probably start 169 and then it won't work properly.
    You could just try setting the IP address manually on the PC but you will have to get all the info correct.
    Here is an example based on mine....
    IP - 192.168.1.(1 to 254) but not one that is already in use. Try 99
    SUB - 255.255.255.0
    GATEWAY - 192.168.1.1 (this is the address of my ADSL Router)
    DNS 1 - 192.168.1.1 (same as gateway unless yours if different)
    DNS 2 - (leave blank or enter what is on yours)
    Now on the APEx there are some option I have not played with that you might want to check out, under Access Control is MAC Address access control enabled, if it is nothing new can connect while that is enabled, but I think you said they are connecting OK. Also there is also something called Guest account, whereby you can grant someone limited access for say 24hrs, again I have not used that but you could try it. There is an option to allow the next request for connection to connect, so might be worth trying.
    Hope that helps.

  • Airport Extreme network performance problems - roaming network help!!

    Hi! I have the following setup: ADSL2 Router (about 18Mbps down and 1.5Mbps up - tested by connecting laptop directly to modem), connected to Time capsule set up to "create network" in "bridge mode" 802.11n 2.4GHz. My desktop is connected directly to the Time Capsule - download speed is OK, upload speed is a mere fraction of what it is supposed to be, sometimes a mere 50Kbps. In the next room (about 5 meters and 2 walls away) speed on the wireless network drops to about a tenth of wha I get at the modem and I can not reliably use my apple TV in that same room as the bandwidth does not seem to cut it. I have an extra Airport Extreme base station but I can not seem to set it up to make the situation any better. If I set it up wireless to "extend the network" the speeds just drop further. If I try to set it up as a roaming network linking it directly to the time capsule via an ethernet cable as per the instructions from Apple, I would need to set the Time Capsule to be "distributing a public IP address", however whenever I try do this I just get a NAT error message saying I should switch to bridge mode (I have tried to change the subnet IP range, etc without any luck). If I switch to bridge mode and connect the airport extreme (also in bridge mode) I just get a network that is frozen . . . I am tearing my hair out : (( Is there a way to connect both the Time Capsule and the Airport Extreme to the modem/router to cast the same wifi network?? Or can I connect them to each other in bridge mode somehow?? Any suggestions will be much appreciated! Thanks

    It would be a good idea to "hard reset" the "remote" AirPort Extreme (AEBS) to clear out any old and possibly conflicting settings. Hold in the reset button for 10-12 seconds. You'll see the amber light begin to blink more quickly during this process, just be sure to hold for the full 10-12 seconds and then release the reset button.
    Check that the ethernet connection is from one of the LAN <-> ports on your "main" AEBS to the WAN (circle of dots icon) on the "remote" AEBS.
    Open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup
    Click the Base Station tab located below the row of icons to assign a name for this AEBS, device password and adjust Time Zone settings
    Click the Wireless tab
    Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
    Wireless Network Name = Exact same name as your "main" AEBS wireless network
    No check mark needed next to "Allow this network to be extended"
    Radio Mode = Automatic
    Radio Channel = Automatic
    Wireless Security = Exact same setting as your "main" AEBS. Should be WPA2 Personal
    Wireless Password = Same password as your "main" AEBS
    Confirm Password
    Click the Internet icon
    Connect Using = Ethernet
    Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
    Click Update to save settings and let the AEBS restart
    Then, power down the entire network...all devices...order is not important
    Start the modem first and let it run a moment
    Start the next device attached to the modem the same way
    Keep starting devices one at a time until the network is back up
    You should be good to go.

  • Port Forwarding not working (PLEASE HELP!)

    I have been trying to port forward a Minecraft server for fun, however the port will not open no matter how many times I try. Here's what I've been doing: Enter 192.168.1.1 in browser and log in. Once on the home screen -> advanced -> port forwarding rules -> add port -> tcp -> any source -> single destination: 25565 (default port for a Minecraft server) -> add port -> udp -> any source -> single destination: 25565 -> apply -> fire wall settings -> typical security -> port forwarding -> select my computer I am on -> select the port forward I had previously created -> add -> resolve now & apply. The status shows as active, but when I use a site like checkmyports.net, it states that the port is closed.Is anyone else having port forwarding issues? What's the problem? Did I miss something?   Thanks in advance.

  • Another airport connecting to internet problem! Please help!

    Hi, I'm having a problem connecting to the internet on my iMac G5 running OS 10.5.8.
    It initially started happening on and off after I upgraded from 10.4, now it happens all the time.
    Airport connects to the network (full 5 bars and I can see the other machines on the network), but can't connect to the internet. When I run Network Diagnostics, I only get as far as Select Airport network, but it keeps scanning forever but doesn't find the network. Meanwhile my iBook G4 and a PowerMac on the same network connect no problem.
    I get the Self Assigned IP address message in network preferences.
    I have searched the forums for this problem, and found lots of other people having the same problem, but none of the suggested fixes have worked. The only thing I can't do is reboot the modem as it's my landlords network and I don't have access to it.
    Things I have tried include:
    -turning airport on and off
    -deleting the airport preferences plist file from system preferences and rebooting
    -deleting airport from network preferences and adding it again
    -deleting all locations and creating a new one
    -using manual dhcp and putting in an ip address same as the ibook with 1 extra number at the end
    -turning of the firewall
    -rebooting rebooting rebooting
    None of the above works. Can anyone can suggest any thing else? It's driving me crazy! I know there are lots of other posts on this topic but I think I tried all of the fixes suggested without any success.
    Thanks

    There is a fair chance it's a problem with the DNS settings your ISP uses. Here is what I'd recommend.
    1. System preferences
    2. Network
    3. Click Advanced
    4. Click DNS tab
    5. Click + sign
    6. Add 208.67.222.222
    7. Click + sign
    8. Add 208.67.220.220
    9. Click OK.
    10. Exit System Preferences
    11. Try out your iMac and report what happened.

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:
