BT Homehub port forwarding - Conflicts?

I am trying to set up an application for a minecraft server. I need to forward ports and I create the application for the Minecraft server with ports 25565 and when I try to actually apply it, it says:
ports setting conflict
This application ports setting conflict with others, Please correct it and try again.
I dont see how there are any conflicts? I dont have any other applications set up on my router?

Same thing happens when you try to add Xbox Live - nobody knows why. Basically a full reset seems to be the only fix and even then you have to be quick when setting up port forwarding otherwise the conflicts issue happens.

Port Forward: Conflicts with all of them.

A bit about me: I am an IT professional 20+ years so I know how to port forward
Situation:
I had a Actiontec Gen1 router. A technician came out the other day and tried to resolve an upload speed issue. As a result, he replaced the ONT and the Router to a Gen2. He got it all up and running and left. My issue started 20 minutes after he left -- when I sat down to reestablish my port forwards.
When I tryed creating my first port forward, I got a warning message about a conflict. I looked at the list and all I had were 3 preset entries:
--Localhost                               TCP Any -> 4567
--192.168.1.100:63145          Application - TCP Any -> Any
--192.168.1.100:63145          Application - TCP Any -> 1
Now, I have done port forwards a lot with my previous router so I was a bit taken back. I did a factory restore on the router and tried to create another port forward - still conflicts.
I knew something was up so I called Verizon. A tech didn't get anywhere so they put me on the phone with Actiontec. They had me try to create a port forward and got the same results. They said the router was corrupt and to have Verizon send me another.
I got the new router in today. While the tech was setting it up in the basement, I quickly tried to create a port forward on it and it worked. I was excited and waited for him to connected it to the WAN. Once he did his thing and established outside connectivity, I tried to create another port forward, and it failed. I asked him to give me back my original Gen1 router so I could use it to troubleshoot. He did with the rule that I call him when I was done.
I got Verizon back on the line and they couldn't help. They then got me on the phone with Actiontec. A couple hours later, they still had no answer. One thing we found though was that they were also not able to connect remotely. They tried 443 and 8080 - nothing worked. I also found that I was able to create UDP port forwards - they worked fine but as soon as I tried any TCP ports, the always came back with a conflict.
Actiontec said the issue was with Verizon and that I should work with them again, so I called Verizon.
I got a great tech who was really going the extra mile instead of giving me the infamous "We don't support that". He too couldn't access the router remotely and we tried just about anything under the sun. For giggles, we decided to put my old Gen1 router back in place. He wanted to reset it to factory defaults so we did. I took a screen capture of my original port forwards though first. When we restored it, it was also stating that there is a conflict when I created a new port forward.
I took a look at my screen capture of my original Gen1 router (this is the one that was originally working over the last year) and I noticed that its 192.168.1.100 entry was set to go to Application - UDP any -> 63146. After resetting it to factory default, Verizon is now setting it to the two setting I documented above.
So now I am questioning Verizons settings that they are pushing down to the router.
My next step was to disconnect it from the WAN completely, do a factory reset and see if I can create a port forward. After doing that test, I was able to create port forwards - TCP, UDP -- they all entered without a conflict. As soon as I connected the router to the WAN and Verizon pushed their settings, it broke again.
The technician did all he could. It is Sunday today and the higher tier techs do not work on Sundays so he said he will have them contact me tomorrow. I sure hope they can resolve this!
So this is the deal:
-Go into your router and try to create a port forward. Pick anyone from the list that includes a TCP port. If you get a message stating there is a conflict, you are most likely in the same boat as I. I would bet anything that Verzion cannot access your router remotely too.
-If you ARE able to create tcp port forwards, then I would highly suggest that you do not do a factory reset. When doing so, I would bet anything that you will no longer be able to create those forwards.
-if you are able to port forward fine, do me a favor and tell me what your 192.168.1.100 port forwards are that Verizon throws in there. If I were to bet, I would bet that the ones that work are set for Application - UDP any -> 63146; If they don't work, I would bet that they are set to:
--192.168.1.100:63145          Application - TCP Any -> Any
--192.168.1.100:63145          Application - TCP Any -> 1
Anyway, that is my story. I spent a whole weekend with Verizon and I am still not working. Any data from the community will be helpful. I want to know if this is a global issue or if it is only affecting me. I have had this happen with 3 routers, 1 gen1 and 2 gen2's.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Finally - a solution. *wipes brow*
First off, I want to state that the networking group located in the Syracuse - all the other tech need to visit them for a week and learn:
- How to talk to a customer (what to say and not to say)
- How routers work, how they can be configured, and what they are capable of. Basically, learn a bit about networking.
- Listen to the customer - they may know more than you.
Anyway, thank you very much Syracuse Team!
While working with the tech (this guy was awesome and actually listened to me about the automatic port forwards that were appearing from Verizon), he decided to to use the RJ45 network WAN connection in addition the COAX. My setup was setup to only use the COAX connection - it's been that way for over a year now.
The tech turned set it up so that my data was going through the RJ45 and the TV was going through the COAX. When he did this and we reset the router to factory, the Verizon forwarded ports were no longer showing up and as a result, I was able to create ports at will without conflict.
So beware all of you who are setup to only use the COAX connection. It appears that one of my set top boxes was now throwing in the port forwards that I noted in the original post and those were screwing everything up. Go figure that, eh? I wonder who said that some 14 tech hours ago?
Anyway - if you are unable to create port forwards without a conflict error, call up Verizon and tell them the issue. If they act like they never heard this, tell them about my situation and that adding the RJ45 connection in addition the COAX is the solution. Just make sure you reset your router to factory when they are done or else those odd port forwards won't clear.
Peace out and good luck!

Homehub Port Forwarding trouble. (Terraria)

Hey everyone, yet more problems with my HH2. This time port forwarding is being very weird.
Im tryng to set up a terraria home server (its a video game on PC for those who don't know) and it requires TCP and UDP port 7777 to be open.
I followed this guide: http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/BT/BTHomeHub2/Terraria.htm to try and set it up.
I then downloaded portforward.com's program which checks to see if your ports are open, and heres the weird thing, TCP 7777 wont connect however UDP 7777 will connect. So I tried it with port UDP and TCP ports 7776 and 7778 and in this case both the TCP and UDP ports work fine for 7778 and 7776. I've triple checked to make sure I've not mistyped but as far as Im aware its correct. Any ideas what might be causing this?
[EDIT] turns out my firewall is to blame, god I feel silly now

Port forwarding conflict with applicaton ssh

Hi,
I have 2 machines in my home network that I want to be able to ssh to from externally using different ports, 22 and 2022. Both forwarders need to forward to port 22 on the 2 machines. I only seem to be able to establish one forwarder. The second one complains that it conflicts with the first. It seems like it can't handle forwarding to the same port despite it being on a different server. Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround?
Thanks, Tom

The NAT within the home hub can only map to one port of the same number, irrespective of the device, its just the way it works.
I am not sure which routers would be capable of this.

Weird conflicts adding port forwarding rules

I've just joined BT and I'm trying to add the portforwarding rules I need and had on my previous router (Thompson 585v7).
I created a ruleset named "eMule (38297)" forwarding TCP 38297 and UDP 16318.
When I go to assign it, I select the rule then my PC and it changes the name to "BT HomeSafe CameraeMule (38297)" and when I click Add it just shows it as "BT HomeSafe Camera". So I checked this rule by going to Add User Defined and selecting Copy an existing rule and then BT HomeSafe Camera and it shows that this is forwarding TCP/UDP 1024 which doesn't conflict with my eMule rule whatsoever.
I have the same problem with a rule to forward TCP/UDP 3071-3072, which the Hub mixes up with PalTalk, which forwards 2090-2091 and 2095 and a rule to forward TCP/UDP 52616 which it mixes up with Rainbow Six, which forwards TCP/UDP 2346. In fact, pretty much any ruleset I've created has this problem when I go to assign it.
So basically it's a big old mess and I wonder if anyone knows how to fix it

Port forwarding problems
You need to give your devices static IP addresses, and port forward to the IP address, not the device name.
You should be able to copy an existing assignment, but remember to rename the new application first.

Port Forwarding and Loopback with HomeHub 3B

There have been a number of threads discussing port forwarding and loopback, so I thought it might be useful to summarise my experiences. I have two HomeHub 3Bs on separate lines, one is a standard broadband line, the other is on an Infinity connection. My experience is limited to these two specific devices :-)
Port Forwarding does work but it is "temperamental" and "arcane" in the way you need to set it up. Although I have had it running perfectly, I have also had experiences where the router has refused to "accept" my changes. Tentatively, I put this down to the fact that I was running a Seagate GoFlex network drive on the network and this piece of equipment (definitely a Do Not Buy) was acting aggressively and screwing up the DDNS allocations. But ... YMMV
One definite probllem with Port Forwarding is if you attempt to specify a range of addresses. I have failed to get this to work on both my hubs. In my case I was trying to forward (say) 8021-8022 to 21-22, and the router insisted on forwarding both 8021 and 8022 to port 21. The cure is to set up each port as a separate rule within the same user-defined application.
On Loopback, I know various people have said it doesnt work, but it has always worked fine for me, at both the locations where I have a HomeHub 3B. I use a DDNS service and I can test that my port forwarding is working by opening a Command Prompt window on my PC and typing telnet mydomain.dyndns.web.com 21 or whatever. That command contacts my DDNS host to ascertain my IP address and then (attempts to) connect to port 21.
If port 21 is closed on your router (i.e. you have no port forwarding in place) you will see the message attempting to connect to mydomain.dyndns.web.com... and, after a while that will time out, with Could not open connection to the host, on port 21: Connect failed. If you do have your port forwarding set up correctly then your application will respond in some appropriate mannerr. However, you do need to understand what youre doing, because the response of an application that is expecting HTTP data is simply to do nothing! You will probably get a blank screen. If you type GET / HTTP/1.1 [note spaces] (which is not echoed to your screen, so be careful not to mistype it) you will receive a page of HTTP response data and HTML data. Thus proving that your port forwarding is working.
If you do not have any port forwarding set up at all, you can still test the loopback function by attempting to connect to port 161. This port is open on the BT routers and telnetting to it will result in a blank screen (as opposed to the attempting to connect message).
In summary: loopback works on the Home Hub 3B. Port forwarding also works to a degree but it is temperamental and does have some quirks, like not properly accepting ranges of ports. On this last point, at least, it would be helpful to get an acknowledgement from BT that this is a known fault.

That is the most likely cause. You will have to decide which one you are going to map the ports to.
In theory, port mapping for games should not be needed, as uPnP should open and close ports automatically, provided the game software generates PORTMAP requests.
uPnP should be capable of dealing with multiple devices, provided they both don`t request the same port numbers.
Try disconnecting the unused device, and try again with the device you are trying to work on.

BT HomeHub 5 Port forwarding to 2 PCs

I have two PCs set up with TightVNC server and can access them both perfectly. One is on <ipaddress>:ort 5900 and the other on <ipaddress>prt 5901. I have also set up port forwarding so I can access one PC via the internet using no-ip to handle the ddns. To set this up I selected the application VNC and linked it to the PC. This works well and remote TightVNC client can log into the TightVNC server on that PC. The problem is that I have two PCs running TightVNCserver and I need to remotely log into either or both simultaneously but I cannot set up another port forwarding entry as VNC is in use and removed from the list of applications.
Is there any way to set up port forwarding to two PCs with different port numbers?
Thanks

Without getting my HH out of the cupboard to check, is there not an 'other' application that you can assign the port to? Surely the name is just a label it doesn't have to be called VNC.

BT HomeHub 4 - Port Forwarding.

I need to open up ports 80, 8068 on my Home Hub 4, I have followed the port forwarding instructions but it will still not open them.
I have opened up ports 9000, 85, & 18004 in the same way and this has worked?
Any advice?
Cheers.

Traffic will only be allowed back in on port 80 from a source if your device has already sent traffic to that source, because port 80 is used pretty much everywhere for http traffic and leaving it fully open would be just asking for trouble - it's pretty much a given that one of a limited number of browsers is sat at the end of it. I'm assuming that 8068 is similarly restricted.

Homehub 5 port forwarding for Windows Homeserver 2...

Hi
Has anybody any solutions on setting up the HH5 for Windows Homeserver 2011
I've inputted all the rules manually as WHS couldn't complete the task, to find ports 80, 443, 4125 remain closed after manual input.
WHS reply's with UPnP not working / router not working.
BT customer services quite appalling and I'm not paying for Tech Support as the package is only 6 months old and I feel I shouldn't have to pay for a product that isn't working correctly, if it was over 12 months I understand I should pay.
I've manually inputted and setup port forwarding for my Iphone app and Android and they've finally started working.

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

Ive been trying to set up port forwarding on my bt router but to no avail so far.
On the port forwarding tab in the router settings when I click Add to assign a device nothing happens??
Ive tried on my iphone and laptop and the "add" button turns grey but nothing happens?
Can anyone help?

so your selecting the "game or application" then selecting the "device" and the "ADD" button stays grey?
or can you select add but after selection and the page refreshing the new device doesnt show up?
under "supported applications" you can manually set up a device vis "new game or application" as a last resort

SRP547W, How to use multiple WAN IPs for port forwarding?

Hi folks,
We've run into some difficulty trying to take advantage of multiple WAN IPs in conjunction with the SRP547, and I'm hoping someone here can help out or at least tell us that we're going to need to buy a different router...
What we're trying to acheive is the ability to port forward from our distinct public IPs to different internal servers. Looking at the options under Port Forwarding it looks like we can only configure forwards at the "WAN interface" level, but our problem is that we can't work out how to set up separate interfaces for each of our Public IPs...
Our ISP provides us with a fully managed NTU/router with a single "Internet" ethernet port, which we can use by statically configuring IPs on our end. For this configuration this port has been directly patched to the WAN ethernet port on the SRP547W.
We have been allocated a 255.255.255.248 (/29) subnet, giving us 5 usable IPs after the ISP's gateway address is taken into account, like so:
a.b.c.208     Network Address (/29 subnet)
a.b.c.209     ISP Gateway
a.b.c.210     IP1
a.b.c.211     IP2
a.b.c.212     IP3
a.b.c.213     IP4
a.b.c.214     IP5
a.b.c.215     Broadcast Address
On the SRP we've set up the default "Ethernet WAN2" sub-interface with the following details for IP1
VLAN ID:               4088 (Uneditable)
Connection Type:       Static IP
Internet IP Address:   a.b.c.210
Subnet Mask:           255.255.255.248
Default Gateway:       a.b.c.209
The next step (I would have thought) would be to add a second sub-interface, using similar info for IP2
VLAN ID:               4000 (Chosen arbitrarily)
Connection Type:       Static IP
Internet IP Address:   a.b.c.211
Subnet Mask:           255.255.255.248
Default Gateway:       a.b.c.209
When we try to do so however we get:
Fail!
Conflict with Ether_WAN2 interface address type
I should mention at this point that we're running on firmware version 1.02.01 (023).
Any suggestions on how we can proceed?
Is there a CLI or other method of configuration that might work if the web interface won't?
Thanks,
Tim.

OK, I've seen reference to this solution before but not much in the way of details. Perhaps you can spell out how this ought to work, as the Software DMZ doesn't behave as I'd expected it to.
As before, on the SRP we've set up the default "Ethernet WAN2" sub-interface with the details for IP1 with a /29 subnet.
VLAN ID:               4088 (Uneditable)
Connection Type:       Static IP
Internet IP Address:   a.b.c.210
Subnet Mask:           255.255.255.248
Default Gateway:       a.b.c.209
We'd now like to expose a server function on IP2, let's say LAN details for this server are:
VLAN:                  3000
VLAN IP Range:         192.168.1.1/24
Server IP:             192.168.1.10
Server Port:           80
So first we turn on Software DMZ:
Status:                Enabled
Public IP:             a.b.c.211
Private IP:            192.168.1.10
WAN Interface:         Ether_WAN2
My understanding, based on what you've said, is that this should expose the whole server to external access via IP2. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work this way - we don't seem to have any access at all. Perhaps there's a default deny rule on the firewall?
Just to be sure, I tried creating a rule to allow HTTP traffic to the server in the Advanced Firewall page.
In Interface (WAN):    All
Out Interface (LAN):   VLAN.3000
Source IP:             0.0.0.0
Source Subnet:         0.0.0.0
Destination IP:        192.168.1.10
Destination Subnet:    255.255.255.255
Protocol:              TCP
Source Port:           Any
Destination Port:      Single:80
Action:                Permit
Schedule:              Everyday
Times:                 24 Hours
Still no dice. What am I missing?

I will Paypal you $100 if you can resolve this Port Forward problem

Believe me when I tell you, If you are the person who fixes this problem, I will GLADLY Paypal you $100.
This is so unbelievable. Short story is, after 12 hours of paid support through Support RIX, 6 hours with TWC support, and 4 different modems there isn't a single person in these groups that can get ports forwarded on my Linksys E4200 router.
I am running a fresh copy of windows 7 with all updates and no anti virus installed. I purchased a Motorola ARRIS SURFboard modem 200 series DOCSIS 3.0 so I have no double router issues. Before I was using the TWC moden/routers in bridge mode.
I have no problem setting a static IP or configuring port forwarding. It doesn't matter if I have windows firewall on or off. I can't get an outside port checking website that can verify an open port.
I am trying to play Battlefield 4 using the port forwarding request they provide.
If I run a local port check program on my computer it will confirm the ports open. Ok, Fair enough. They tell me the outside port checking utilities will say the port is closed unless I am running the program that uses these open ports.
SO I run the game and check and it always says port closed. One of the ports I want to open is 80. It has to be open to get internet anyway but it still shows closed using the online port checking websites.
I connected the computer to the modem. No router. I keep getting ports closed or filtered when I check through 6 different port checking sites. Leads me to think their is some kind of block in the ethernet card software.
Its a Realtek PCIe GBE Family controller with a driver date of 8/26/2014. Latest one I could find.
I think its an ethernet card filter. Just my thoughts. Here is the current adapter card settings.
Advanced settings on Ethernet card
Auto Disable Gigabit/ Disabled
Flow Control/ RX & TX Enabled

I used a port tester downloaded from PCWinTech.com v3.0.0. It says the ports are open. When I close port 80 it says port 80 is closed. My problem is nothing outside my network can confirm an open port. It always states port closed.
The game I am playing is Battlefield-4. I have played all of the campigns without any problem but once online it crashes. The BF-4 community says I need to open 5 single ports and 5 port ranges. This is what I am trying to do.
We have tried an ARRIS router modem, a Ubee router modem (both in bridge mode) and are now using a motorola modem. All with the same problem. We checked the ports during game play and they all say closed.
I will post pictures of my current router settings.

What model router do you have?
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What region are you located?
What is your current model ISP modem your using now?
What ISP Modem service link speeds UP and Down do you have?
Check cable between Modem and Router, swap out to be sure. Link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAT6 is recommended.
Check ISP MTU requirements, Cable is usually 1500, DSL is around 1492 down to 1472. Call the ISP and ask.

Router and Wired Configurations
Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices ON the router. This ensures each devices gets its own IP address when turned on and connected, eliminates IP address conflicts and helps in troubleshooting and maintain consistency for applications that need to connect as well as mapped drives.
Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
If http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipv6 is an option on the router, select Local Connection Only.
If you set up port forwarding, disable uPnP and test.
When you check for port status, you have to be actively using the port before you scan check as you may get a false negative if your not using the port. If your using the port then check the status, you should get an accurate result.
I would try using Port Range Triggering instead of PF and set up the port as follows for your PC that your gaming with:
0 thru 65535. A bit less hassle to set up then all those different port rules.
PC 3rd Party Security Software Configurations
Turn off all anti virus and firewall programs on PC while testing. 3rd party firewalls are not generally needed when using routers as they are effective on blocking malicious inbound traffic.
Turn off all devices accept for one wired LAN PC while testing.
Disable any downloading client software managers, i.e. Torrents or similar.
