BT Home Hub Port Forwarding, Device Not Listed

Hi Guys,
It's quite a simple one really but it has me totally stumped. I've been trying to open a couple of ports recently, for games etc and I know how all this port forwarding stuff works, but recently I had hard drive issues and had to re-install windows etc, all the usual **bleep**. Since then though, when trying to forward a port in the hub manager (I have BT Home Hub 2), my device doesn't appear in the drop down list, neither the physical hexadecimal address nor the name I assigned to the machine! My Xbox, Iphone and my dads laptops are all on the list... just not the machine I'm using right now, even though its wired up by ethernet cable and I'm using the hub for the internet to get onto this website right now! -.-
Any help is appreciated!

Hi Anonymoose and welcome
Try power cycling the hub (turn it off and on) with your device connected and see if it then appears on the list.

  • Output device not listed.

    What if my sound output device not listed? Trying to connect my MacBookPro 17" (mid 2010) to my tv. Video plays. I have connected digital audio cable to both tv n Mac. When I go to sound in system preference (after cord was plugged in) nothing listed. 

    Very well stated.  And, sometimes I do forget that there is still such a thing as celluloid.  Not to mention all the new "K"s that RED is coming up with (aren't they working on something like 27 or 28k now?)  When I look at it from that point of view, what you say makes perfect sense.
    But then why does preferences>video preview in After Effects give me the "output device" option of IEEE 1394 at NTSC 720x480?  This leads me to believe that I could plug a deck into 1394 and get a video preview.  If this is the case, then my way of thinking says it should offer other options for "output device".
    When I first set up Premiere Pro CS4, the playback settings did not list the HDMI HDTV as an external monitor option.  It wasn't until I fooled around with the system's display settings and turned the HDTV into an extention of the desktop that suddenly Premiere Pro listed it as a possible external monitor.  So, my history there (and my goofy sense of logic that makes perfect sense to me) has me wondering if a similar sequence of messing with the display options is suddenly going to make AE see the HDTV as an "output device".  I am not interested in realtime playback, merely the closest reference possible as to what my video image looks like in HD on an external monitor.  I ask "why do I need a separate video card like my old Matrox card, when standard graphics cards these days can handle HD & even have HDMI out?"
    Admittedly, I know next to nothing about the complexity & inner workings of software and computer components.  Why, I was ready to throw a party just because I successfully installed an additional hard drive in my new computer.  I must be like one of my own clients who don't understand why we can't easily separate a voice track from a music track when it's been rendered as one .mp3 file...or why we can't quickly cut a person out of a video layer and make them seamlessly interact with footage of JFK, Zemekis-style.

  • Handset or Tablet device not listed

    So my wife bought an Iphone from verizon wireless back in Sept.   We are having issues getting the $100 Verizon Wireless gift card.  Basically, I've gone to the online submissions site @ trade-in.vzw.com; however my basic phone (LG-VX9200) is not listed under the Model Numbers.  I've gone to the Trade-In support Center multiple times since September and filled out the form with topic "Handset or Tablet device not listed".  I've never been emailed back nor has my model number been added.  Becasue of this I am unable to complete the trade-in and get my gift card.  Any advice on what I should do?  BTW: the representative @ Verizon Wireless said our model is eligible for the upgrade.  Thanks

    Thank you to the support team for resolving my issue!!
    For anybody that cares VX9200 = enV3

  • Device not listed (HP F4272 on Mac OSX)

    I recently got an iMac & after a paperjam the printer went offline & I couldn't get it back working. So I uninstalled the driver software & re-installed it. I go through the Installer but when I get to 'setup' no device is selected, so I use the 'device not listed' option and select the deskjet 4200 series optio. At the next stage nothing is listed & says if not listed it's not supported by the installer, yet I have since downloaded the installer for the 4200 series from the internet. Then my only option in the installer is to quit.   Can anyone offer advice?

    Hey there! Let's uninstall with the 'scrubber option' like this: 1. Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller and click Continue2. Highlight your device on the left pane
    3. Hold the Ctrl, Opt and Cmd keys and click on Uninstall
    4. There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
    5. Click Continue and let it finish
    Now, run a Software Update. This can be done by clicking the Apple in the top left of the screen then clicking Software Updates. Next, let's reset the printing system:
    Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
    - Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
    WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
    - Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Default tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
    Finally, download and install the software from here. (Be sure to select your version of OS X) Let me know if this helps!

  • Xbox 360: How To Open Your BT Home Hub Ports!

    If you use a BT Home Hub and Xbox Live, you may need to open ports for a better connection, even if your NAT tests as Open. Some issues that this will fix:
    Friends list Voice chat
    Joining friends list games
    Joining some games such as Call of Duty 3 (could not connect to all players error), or host in some games such as Gears of War. 
    I suggest backing up your router's settings after you make these changes if it works for you, and maybe before you start in case you mess something up!
    1. First lets reset our BT Home Hub to its factory settings:Link
    2. Go into your BT Home Hub and disable UPnP
    Go to http://bthomehub.home
    Click on Settings
    Log in with your Hubs defult Admin password.
    Click on Advanced Settings.
    Click on Continue to advanced settings.
    Click on Applications Sharing.
    Click on UPnP.
    Turn UPnP off and click apply.
    UPnP
    Universal Plug and Play. Great Idea. Not so good in the real world. In theory, you should disable UPnP if you set up forwarding rules. The purpose of UPnP is to automatically detect the ports that need to be opened, and open them for you. Unfortunately it doesn't always do it as efficiently as you could do it yourself. On the other hand sometimes a router with forwarding rules set up seems to connect better with UPnP enabled. Toggle both ways, remember to reboot the router after any changes you make. CONCLUSION ABOUT UPnP: Disable it before the first time you ever turn on your 360. 
    3. Lets make our Xbox IP address is static:
    In your 360's dashboard, go to the "System" blade and select "Network Settings", and then click "Edit Settings". You're now in the "Basic Settings" screen.
    Select the "IP settings" section. (later you'll also have to adjust the "DNS Settings" section right below it.). Change it from Automatic to Manual. You'll have to change all three things listed here:
    IP Address
    Subnet Mask
    Gateway
    Make the IP address about 20 numbers higher for the last three digits. For example, if your IP address is 192.168.0.101, you can use 192.168.0.121
    What numbers do I use?
    a) You can simpily write them down from the xboxes dashboard while you have it set to automatic.
    b) You can get this info from your PC. Go to start>>Run>>cmd. Now in the DOS interface, type ipconfig. The DNS is the same number as your gateway.
    When you entered all three items, click "done" and it will prompt you to do an Xbox Live test. You will fail it, but you have to test to continue (You can cancel the test before it ends).
    Now hit done again and back out to the Basic Settings, and select the DNS settings section, right under the IP Settings section. Change from Automatic to Manual. You only need to enter the Primary DNS server, leave the Secondary DNS server the way it is (blank). For the DNS server, you're going to use whatever you used for the Gateway.
    That's it. Now back out, do an xbox live test (otherwise it won't save) and you'll probably still get a moderate or strict NAT, or even Open. But even if it tests as open, that doesn't mean your ports are open. But it's a good sign.
    4. Open Your Ports
    Portforward.com is an excellent resource for this information. Select your BT Home Hub, next follow the tutorials to open the ports for Xbox live etc and the games you play!

  • Time Capsule remote access fails - Device not listed

    I've been able to access my 4th generation time capsule hard disk remotely, but my router settings keep getting reset and I need help with my configuration.
    Apparently, the router (xDSL Motorola 7647-47-20SC) is dropping my IP Passthrough settings for the time capsule even though it initially accepted them and remote access was verified.   Although I've added the time capsule as a new device using its MAC address, after a few minutes the device is no longer listed and my port forwarding and IP Passthrough settings are lost.
    Here's my setup:
    xDSL modem configured in DHCP mode.  The DNS server is configured to be retrieved automatically.  The Time Capsule is directly connected to the router via an ethernet cable and has been added as a device using its MAC Address with the router configured to forward both TCP and UDP port 548 to the device.  IP Passthrough has also been enabled for the Time Capsule.
    Using AirPort Utility the Time Capsule has been set to bridge mode with Back to My Mac enabled.  I tried to configure it in NAT and DHCP mode to enable disk sharing over WAN, but either lost my internet connection or got an error message that my internal DHCP addresses conflicted with the router's (even though they didn't). 
    I have a domain host name via dyndns.org which is updated with my public IP address. 
    The first time I set up the router and time capsule and entered the "Connect to Server" address afp://xxxx.dyndns.org:548 a pop-up window asked for my user name and password, after which I was able to see the hard disk remotely.  But when I tried again this morning there was no connection to the server.  So I checked my router settings again when I got home, and the Time Capsule device was no longer listed!  I can access the disk in Finder within my home LAN, so it must be identified somewhere, but my original IP Passthrough and port forwarding settings are no longer available since the time capsule has been dropped from the list of available devices.
    Can anyone tell me how to restore this configuration and make it stick?  Thanks for your help!

    Well, I just perused the Swisscom forums and apparently a firmware update initiated remotely a few weeks ago is causing problems with IP Passthrough functionality on the router.  Nothing we can do until a bug fix becomes available from out internet provider.

  • Home Hub 3; Apple devices

    Hi
    I've been having some serious and unusual problems with the Home Hub 3 recently!
    For some reason, web pages are loading VERY slowly. This includes the Home Hub's configuration pages as well as very simple web pages such as this forum. I can wait 60-90 seconds or longer just to load one page fully. However this is only affecting my MacBook and iPhones on my network - pages loaded from Windows laptops and other smartphones are fine! And, to make matters more confusing, once I open a stream (file download, speed test, video streaming) I have no problems whatsoever and see full Infinity speeds as expected. It's just getting to the page to begin with!
    I have tried using both default DNS settings and OpenDNS settings on my devices and this has made no difference.
    When I restart the Home Hub, things are fine for a few minutes but then this problem crops up again and only affects my Apple devices!
    Any suggestions? 
    Solved!

    Hi there,
    I'm also a mac user and now use time capsule as my router AND wifi'd back up device - wonderful - easy peasy. But I did use the HH3 for 6 months before i moved - and did not experience any serious issues. It a basic device and did what it said on the tin. I actually found the wifi range perfectly adequate.
    some stuff to check:
    If you are wireless then check out your channel congestion (i use istumbler) : there's also apps on itunes store that you can put onto mission control. it tells you who esle is on the same channel as you...
    The more neighbours around you who use the same channel as you, the more contention you'll have on wifi speed. Check it out as a possible drain on your speed. Perfect = 3or4 channels away from others as they overlap a bit.
    also try using the 40Hz option (from within the settings part of the hub) - I don't really understand the details but i'm told it has better range.

  • Home Hub 3 Wi-Fi not working

    I have infinty unlimited and the home hub 3 I have seems to have stopped working completely on wi-fi. I have re-set (more than once). I had the same issue in the early years with the Home hub 3 but this last one when changes about 2 years ago was good. I haven't used it all the time as I swapped it out for a duel band TP router as it had Loop-Back as was then running a server with 2 web sites on so much better control on the ports etc.
    This started to play up the other month so as no longer running a server etc at home plug in the Home Hub and was up and running quickly and well until now!!! I only have one wired PC and everything else in the house is wireless, iPod, iPad, Kindles, Laptops etc. as with 5 people in the house lots of Wi-Fi needed.
    So I have plug in a old router from work to one of the network ports but looking to get this back up and running,
    So the question is does BT replace faulty hubs as I am still a customer or are they only covered for a year???
    if they replace How do I go about this?
    Or should I just buy another router as before?
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If the homhub is faulty and you are still in contract BT will replace it free of charge. If you are not in contract they will not replace it unless you re-contract. You need to contact BT at 0800 111 4567 and report a fault.

  • Device not listed in iSync Plugin Maker test window

    I'm trying to create an iSync Plugin for my phone with the ISync Plugin Maker. I can successfully detect the device through USB connection clicking on the "Get Device Info" button. But after completing all the settings, I try to test the plugin and the device is not listed on the 'test' section. I tried refreshing the list several times and plugging and unplugging the phone on different ports.
    Any hint will be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    - Juan

    Not all plugins are available as universal binaries, meaning they will not run natively on an Intel Mac. To gave Safari see them, it needs to be forced to run under Rosetta. To do so, control-click on Safari's icon and choose Get Info. In the Get Info box there will be an option to force the use of Rosetta.
    There never will be a universal binary of WMP. Microsoft has ceased development of the Mac version and the last update was mid-2003. Microsoft is recommending users use Flip4Mac which redirects Windows media to Quicktime. While Flip4Mac will install on an Intel Mac with OS X 10.4.5, it is not yet available as a universal binary. Also, many people, including myself, have problems with some streams using this plugin.

  • Port forwarding is not working on SRP521W

    Hi Danny, to my recollection there are not any bugs on the current releases for the SRP for forwarding.
    To affirm, you have went to Network Setup -> NAT -> Port forwarding
    Also, are you able to log in to the server locally with the LAN IP address using an internet browser for http and https?

  • Home Hub and RJ45? not working correctly

    Recently i had a few problems with the Wireless on the Home Hub 3, so i switched and used an RJ45 and boy my speeds shot from 30-40mbs to 77mbs i was all happy, then the upload part of the speed test came along and it spent forever trying to do an upload test then came back error.  I refreshed the page and no internet or webpage would load, so i trouble shoot the network and it works again so i try again and the same thing happens any time i try to upload my connection drops from the hub and i have to troubleshoot to fix the problem, i heard somewere that the homehub is funny with an RJ45 =/ i am not wanting to go back to wireless scince the i get faster on a RJ45 is their a way to fix this Issue ?

    Hi
    All 5 PCs, the vision box & printer here are hard wired using Cat5 cable & RJ45 connectors and in 6 years we have never had a problem.
    I make my own cables and they are a bit fiddley, so despite looking fine the pins don't always connect properly and you get all sorts of issues especially if the cable moves.
    My recommendation would be that you firstly change the cable, preferably to one that you know works properly.
    Regards
    Tim

  • Device not listed in find my iphone after updating my apple id password

    If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
    If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account.  You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then  on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

  • Port forwarding - Macbook not showing up in computer field

    I'm trying to forward a port in my d-link control panel. I have to select which computer on the network to do so...there are two pc's, one desktop, one laptop & then my Mac. They are both showing in the drop down box, my Macbook is not. I'm connected to the internet fine...I'm unsure why my computer is not showing up & I need to select it, I believe, for the port forwarding.
    Any ideas?

    Port forwarding is generally done at the router level not the computer level. The router forwards all incoming/outgoing traffic for the port to the IP address specified - the given machine address as displayed by Network preferences.

  • Create PDF from Scanner - Scanner - Please select a device - Device not listed?

    My scanning device, Brother DCP-1510 is installed and working properly. According to the device specs it has TWAIN, WIA, ICA, SANE2 drivers.
    I can see and select the scanner in the native "Windows fax and scan" now it is connected to the computer. The device also works (scans OK, but without much functionality) using the default  "Control Centre4" ...
    I wish to use Acrobat to scan some documents to PDF
    In Acrobat the scanner is not listed in the "Please select a device"...
    What should I do? Any tips to get the said scanner listed in device list? 
    [ btw... Acrobat has listed two other scanners in the device list for which I have installed drivers, but these devises are located in other offices (on the other side of the state unfortunately) ]

    I am not sure which of the following did the trick...
    I downloaded the drivers (latest software included was the only new thing, the drivers were actually the same versions)... Then I reinstalled the whole package...
    I also followed the tips in Learn & Support and troubleshoot  Troubleshoot scanner issues item #4. Restart your computer with startup items disabled / and then turned on all the Adobe and Brother related ones (not the entire suite of apps and services)...
    After the reboot and reconnecting the scanner it is there!  - "Create PDF from Scanner" "Custom Scan" "Input" "Scanner" "Please select a device" - both the TW and WIA devices...
    What is the difference or advantages of choosing TW over WIA? maybe someone might chip in.. otherwise settled Thks!

    You can try two things. 
    I would try to download CCleaner (free)   Their utility has a tools section and it will find uninstallers for me when windows add/remove won't find them. 
    OR 
    you might have to install it again just to get the uninstaller,   then you can use the uninstaller to uninstall.
