BREAKING NEWS FOR PORT FORWARDING ISSUES - WHO IN ...

Hi there,
I'm Cisco engineer who can't port forward! No matter what I try. I've never had this prolem before. I read today that BT are puttnig users on a NAT trial. I really suspect I and others are on this trial. The fact that even in a DMZ I can not see any ports open, suggests to me that I am on this trial.
http://www.thinkbroadband.com/news/5818-bt-retail-in-carrier-grade-nat-pilot.html
Now I have tried calling BT. Oh god how I have tried but for the sake of my health and sanity, I can't subject myself to it anymore.
Any wiser? How do I get BT to remove me from this trial?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you were on the trial the IP your router reports would be different to the one that you see if you go to, for example, www.ipchicken.com
Is this the case?
If not then you are probably doing something wrong, Cisco engineer or not

How do I configure for port forwarding?

I just relpaced my CISCO E3000 wireless router with an Apple Airport Extreme and need to set up port forwarding. I find the Airport Utility confusing and very limited in capabilities. How do I configure the router for Port Forwarding?

Here's a document that you can follow: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3415
However, I ran into an issue with setting this up and had to do a work-around: Custom Port Forwarding Config Not Working

Hello i have recently joined BT Infinity and have hit the issue of the Port Forwarding not working. My HH3 is on the following version of software. Will this version automatically upgrade to the latest version of firmware and will this fix my port forwarding issue?
As i work in IT (Cisco Network Eng) i need to be able to access several devices/services at home and this is a real pain for me. If you think that this could drag on as some posts have indicated could you please let me know and i will either get a draytek or throw in a cisco 1841.

Quantum Gateway Port Forwarding issues

This post can be removed.... the port forwarding worked once I set it up under "Advanced Settings -> Network Settings ->Port Forwarding" instead of "Firewall -> Port Forwarding"
Hello,
I am having an issue setting up port forwarding. I have made several attempts to make port forward TCP 8096, but it continues not to work. I had it working with no problems at my with my old router before we moved so I know it's not an issue with my computer firewall or antivirus and MediaBrowser is working fine on the local network. Is anyone else experiencing Port Forwarding issues? Also when will DMZ be enabled on this gateway?
Any help would be apprciated. I'm trying to setup MediaBrowser so I can schedule recordings when i'm not at home.
Thanks!

WRTU54G-TM Port Forward issues, DHCP server disabled but still gives out addresses

I've seen other posts about port-forwarding issues. I've had to hard-reset the device twice in 2 months to clear this up.
One issue that I can't figure out at all is that the DHCP server gives out addresses when it is set to disabled. This is a problem because it gives out the public DNS servers, which will not resolve addresses on my LAN. Anyone else seen this?
Anyone had success putting this router behind a better one and still getting the phone SIM to register and work?

Have you tried to upgrade the firmware on your Router?
Click Download the latest firmware for your Router and save the Firmware file on your Desktop.
Once you Download the firmware for your Router, Now you need to login to the Router setup page and click on the "Administration" tab and below click on "Firmware Upgrade" and then click on the Browse Button and select the firmware file and click on Upgrade.
Once the firmware is upgraded successfully then you need to Reset your Router and Re-configure all the settings on your Router from scratch.

Settings for port forwarding IP cameras

I am trying to configure Airport Extreme to set them up for Port Forwarding. As I have found many times, the directions are set up for routers on PC's, not on Macs... I have accessed Port Forwarding before for other cameras, and tried to do it the same way as before, but when I click on UPDATE to update the Airport Express, and then check on the settings I made for the camera, the settings are missing...I am not sure if there is one set of Port numbers I should be using but am not... Also, on the very first heading of a port forwarding window, there are apparently several default set ups, Remote access, Mail etc.. but none for IP cameras.. wondering if there is one set up I should use in this heading. Thanks for any help or advice....
Geoff

the program that came with the camera found the IP address for the camera but lists a web address for my LAN, not a WAN...ie http://10.0.1.34/ how do I either find out what IP address the DHCP gave the camera
The 10.0.1.34 IP address is the one assigned by the DHCP server in your AirPort Extreme router.
how do I either find out what IP address the DHCP gave the camera, if it did, or assign one to the camera so that its accessible from outside my LAN? like an IP address of 198. etc...
Typically, you will want to assign a static Private IP address for your IP camera. You can then port map to this static address when attempting to access the camera from the Internet. In this case you will want to use the DHCP Reservations feature that is located on the DHCP tab within the AirPort Utility.
Accessing the camera from the Internet would require the public WAN-side IP address of your router. This address is provided to you from your ISP. So for example, if your camera is accessable from a web browser, you would enter http://<your WAN-side IP address>:80 in the browser when you are at a remote location.

EA2700 port forwarding issues for DVR access

So start this off I searched these forums for answers and new here but not to the router world, I have been having issues lately I set up a DVR and need to view remotely, ports are 7000 and 8080, I setup DVR on a static IP and it can access the internet and I can ping the DVR internally than I go into router and port forward those ports on DVR's IP address disabled upnp I setup dhcp reservation on DVR's IP but when I check can you see me.org it shows those ports are closed for my external than I check port 80 and shows closed looks like all my ports are close is there some firewall in this router that would do this please help

If the ISP modem has a built in router, it's best to bridge the modem. Having 2 routers on the same line can cause connection problems: Link>http://www.practicallynetworked.com/networking/fixing_double_nat.htm and http://cognitiveanomalies.com/cisco-nat-how-nat-works/. If the modem can't be bridged then see if the modem has a DMZ option and input the IP address the router gets from the modem and put that into the modems DMZ.
Glad you got it working. Enjoy.

Bit Torrent port forwarding issue and DNS resoluti...

Good morning comunity!
Something odd has happened and I was hoping for some further guidance as I'm not sure what my next steps are.
Background
I have uTorrent running on a a machine that accesses a private RSS feed of torrents I am watching. The client sees a new file posting and automaticlly downloads the .torrent file then proceeds to download the main file itself.
When I had BT installed back on 23 Decemeber I set up port forwarding to this machine, using a static IP, and there were no connection issues.
What has happened
The previous evening as I was going to bed I checked the machine and the active torrents and all my files were sitting at 0 connections for connected seeds & peers. Meaning that uTorrent wasn't able to see anyone to conenct to.
My Troubleshooting
After seeing the above I began checking my connections and set up on the router as well as the machine. uTorrent has within its preferences a port checking utility for its assinged port and that was showing no open connection. I then logged in to my HH4 and verifed my port forwarding rules: nothing had changed there.
I removed and re-added the rules, turned off UPNP as well as turned it on with no success. And during the process of adding the rule back into the system I recieved an error stating that the port was already assigned even though at that moment there were no active assignments. So I changed port numbers and the issue went away.
I then went to chack the private torrent site and the page would not display. Then went to Down For Everyone Or Just Me to check the site as well and it was reported as being up. I loaded my VPN connection to bypass BT's network and I was able to visit the site. Logged back out and did a trace and the trace reported to route to the site. Changed my DNS to Google's DNS setting and was able to access the site.
Where I am now
My torrent machine is now running via the VPN but it's not the best connection in the world as changing the DNS there did not resolve the torrent connection issue.
Does anyone, especially you folkd familar with BT and their practices, have reccomendations as to what to try next or what the issue may be?

A lot of torrent sites are starting to be blocked. Its possible the site in question is being blocked by BT(They have no choice in this as its being forced onto them by a court order same for most of the other big ISPs). If its being blocked you would still be able to access via a VPN so long as thats not being blocked too. In terms of what you can do about it not much other than keep using the VPN.

Port forwarding issue on Homehub 3.0 Type A

I'm trying to port forward both Minecraft and Black Ops 2. Everything works alright up until I try and actually forward it to my desktop.
When I press 'Add' or 'Apply' either in the port forwarding section or home network section it changes Minecraft to PalTalk and Black Ops 2 to BT Homesafe Camera. I can't find any information on this specific issue but if anyone can help I would much appreciate it.
Another thing to mention is that when I try and forward Minecraft and it changes to PalTalk both are removed from the drop-down list of selectable things to prot forward. I use the PFPortChecker program from portforward to check and it's saying that the ports are closed.
Thanks

Thanks for all your suggestions and help. I had sorta the same problems on an old 2.0 hub (the one where once you deleted a rule you had reset all settings to reassign it).
I managed to get Minecraft portforwarded... I have no idea how. I was mostly absorbed in my thoughts of "What dumba** at BT actually let this product go through testing if they even do any testing on their modem/routers to begin with?"
So I managed to get the original PalTalk rule deleted o.O. I'm doing the same for Black Ops now so hopefully I can recreate the steps. When I click edit on the Black Ops rule it brings me in to the BT Homesafe Camera rules. After editing this and changing the name form BT Homesafe Camera to BT Black Ops 2 I applied it and instead of editing the rule, it added a new rule. So now I had Black Ops 2, BT Black Ops 2 and Minecraft in my user-defined options. I deleted the one called Black Ops 2 and it instead deleted BT Black Ops 2. And now it works. Also the BT Homesafe Camera original rule is now gone and now it's time to make a back-up if ever it screws up again.
So that's weird but thanks a lot for your help and I hope my poorly written paragraph helps others that might be having the same issue

Actiontec MI424WR rev I port forwarding issue.

Within the last month, all of my wireless security cameras as well as my Directv DVR have stopped responding to remote access. All of the cameras work fine when directly connected to an e-net cable. I have checked all the settings on the router and they have not changed. I then tried to check the ports assigned to the cameras and found that they are all reported as CLOSED by two different internet port checkers. However, these same port checkers report eveything closed on this router., but my browser, email, remote desktop all work ok. Before I tear any more hair out, can some one have pity on an old fart and tell me what I have overlooked????
KentM
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I had a session with a VZW tech who in turn brought an Actiontec tech on the line. What we did was to delete all of the current camera rules and reinstall them. Everything now works. ?????
THe one remaining issue regards the port checkers that show all the well known ports closed. We never came up with an answer to that. But they are not stopping anything from working. One other item regarding the camera ports. If the camera is not on for some reason, then the port will show that it is closed...

Not that I have an answer for your question but misery always loves company.
The prior firmware update for the Actiontec knocked out the automatic update using DynamicDNS.
The 10/31 update fixed the problem of updating DynamicDNS however it seems to have done something to port forwarding.
Prior to the last two updates of the Actiontec's firmware I used to be able to run an FTP server on a USB drive connected to a router double NATed behind the Actiontec. I was also able to remotely access certain devices using port forwarding from the Actiontec. Not working anymore.
Based on your problem I think it is a firmware issue with the Actiontec and there may be nothing that can be done until the next firmware update.

WRT1900 Port Forward Issue

Im hoping this can be resolved quickly. Last night I found out my NAT on xbox one is set to moderate.
And I am having trouble following port forward quides.
I reserved a DHCP for my xbox one in network map and seemed to switch to Open NAT not sure if this fixed the party issue I was having earlier.
Moving on if I am to forward the ports do I go to port range forwarding and use the IP address reserved from the network map?
Essentially is a static IP and a reserved DHCP the same thing?

Try to disable the dlink camera then try to use the websites like: www.mydomainname.com, www.mydomainname.com:81, www.mydomainname.com:80, and others to see where they are getting directed.
Second let me know the IP address of NAS, Web Server and the Camera..As well as try to disable the UpnP in the Router web UI..

HH5 Port Forwarding issues

Hi guys,
I've been trying for a couple of weeks now to try and forward a port from my HH5 but to no avail. What seems like such a simple task has got me puzzled. I've watched videos on YouTube and prowled loads of forums but still can't seem to do anything.
I'm using a static ip address on the PC I'm trying to forward to and I've switched between upnp on/off but nothing and also tried Dhcp on/off but again no progress. To see if the port is open i go into cmd on my pc and type "netstat -a". The port in question is UDP 3290 - If that makes any difference. I'm fairly new to this so happy to follow any advice anyone has.
Thanks in advance

NAT Port Forwarding Issues

I am running a Mac Mini Server with 10.6.4 and have just the Firewall and NAT services running on this computer at this time.
I have two ethernet connections on this computer. One is the built in adapter (en0) and the other is the Apple USB 100mbit adapter (en2). The en2 adapter is plugged into the internet gateway from my ISP with a static addresss (something like 333.333.333.1) and the en0 adapter is connected to my switch with an internal address (something like 10.0.0.1). I can go out to the internet from the computer and also see it from my internal network, which means that from a network prospective, it is properly configured.
I enabled the NAT service with the Server Admin tool by clicking the "IP Forwarding and Network Address Translation (NAT)" radio button. I selected the USB Ethernet from the "External network interface" and checked the "Enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol" from the options.
After that I followed the directions of adding the following lines to my natd.plist from the /etc/nat/ directory:
<array>
<dict>
<key>proto</key>
<string>tcp</string>
<key>targetIP</key>
<string>10.0.0.123</string>
<key>targetPortRange</key>
<string>80</string>
<key>aliasIP</key>
<string>333.33.333.1</string>
<key>aliasPortRange</key>
<string>80</string>
</dict>
</array>
I also left the top part of the plist file as such:
<key>clamp_mss</key>
<true/>
<key>deny_incoming</key>
<false/>
<key>dynamic</key>
<true/>
<key>enable_natportmap</key>
<true/>
<key>interface</key>
<string>en2</string>
<key>log</key>
<true/>
<key>log_denied</key>
<false/>
<key>natportmap_interface</key>
<string>en2</string>
<key>proxy_only</key>
<false/>
<key>reverse</key>
<false/>
<key>same_ports</key>
<true/>
<key>unregistered_only</key>
<true/>
<key>use_sockets</key>
<true/>
The section I added is correctly located directly above the final </dict></plist>.
Unfortunately, this does not work and according to the directions from Apple this is exactly how you are supposed to be able to enable port forwarding. I have also opened up the port 80 on my firewall to allow incoming requests. When I go to the external IP address for that server it just sits and waits forever and nothing is resolved.
If someone has experience with this issue please advise.

Gateway configurations are problematic with Mac OS X Server.
(There are many previous discussions around the forums.)
Getting this to work is fussy, at best.
You can also end up with ports unexpectedly open.
An external firewall is usually the easiest choice.

Port forwarding issues

I'm trying to set up Azureus or transmission but I cannot open the ports successfully.
The setup is: ADSL router -> gigabit wired switch -> macbook pro
Upnp is enabled on the router. I spent a long time on IRC trying to solve the problem with some azureus support guys, but we couldn't figure it out. I have set up a manual port forward in the router to my mb. I set the correct port in azureus (/transmission), set an exception in the firewall, but a port test still doesn't work. If I disabled the firewall on the router or my mac, it doesn't work. It doesn't work as an administrator or restricted user. It isn't any settings in Azureus or transmission as I haven't changed the defaults. If I enable upnp in azureus, it works but is slower than it should be, and it should work without it. I'm pretty sure it isn't anything to do with the router as a windows PC set up in exactly the same way with a different IP and port works. I believe this is something on the mac that is blocking the connections, but as I've only had this mac 2 days and I've not installed much, I don't see what it can be.
EDIT: I could be mistaken, but web downloads seem very slow too. I should get around 400kb/s, I actually get about 20-50 on most downloads it seems.
I've pretty exhaustively tested this now and its getting quite frustrating. I can post Azureus's upnp logs if anyone wants to see them.
MBP 15" 2.4ghz Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Thanks for the help.
I use openDNS, so it shouldn't be slow.
I've tried transmission as well as Azureus. I've also used limewire which says the connection is 'turbo-charged' even when I disable upnp, so that's no help really.
Done the last two steps.
