Can I set port forwarding to replace my D-Link switch?

I want to replace the D-link switch with Airport express, but I am wondering if I can set port forwarding on the Airport express? If yes, how many entries can I set?

Is the AX connected via Ethernet to the internet AND is the AX configured to "share as single IP address"? If not, all ports are already forwarded directly through the AX and the port mapping option is not available.

WVC11 reset & now can't set port forwarding because SOLOLINK is gone

I have 2 wvc54g and 2 wvc11 and now no sololink. Anyone know how to update firmware on these older cameras in order to be able to set up TZO instead of sololink? One of my WVC11s is reset and I cant get remote access to it because I can't reset the port

WVC11B :
Download Firmware 1.74 MB...
Access your Camera setup and click on the help tab, then click Firmware Upgrade and browse the firmware file and click on Upgrade, it should take couple of seconds to Upgrade the firmware...
Once you are done you should reset and then re-configure the Camera...

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.

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.

How can I setup port forwarding for RDP (3389) using MHS291LVW?

Hi,
I went into my MHS291LVW and I enabled port forwarding. I didn't see an option for Remote Desktop (RDP) so I added a custom application called RDP and I set "Global Port" and "Private Port" to port number 3389 and I set it as TCP/UDP and then entered the local IP (192.168.1.135) of the PC I want to connect to. I made my local PC use a static IP so this 192.168.1.135 will never change.
Then when I go under "About Jetpack" I see that there is a WAN IP address listed; so I wrote this down and then I tried to connect remotely to this PC from outside the Verizon Jetpack network but it didn't work.
Then the strange thing is when I go to Google and type "what's my IP", Google shows me a different external WAN IP address that Verizon Jetpack showed me in the admin web interface. Anyway, I tried this WAN IP address that Google gave me but it still didn't connect to my local PC.
Can someone please help me in figuring out why this is not working?
I've setup port forwarding on plenty of other routers (Linksys, Netgear, etc.), but I never tried it on a Verizon Jetpack MHS291LVW but it should work the same so I'm not sure why this is not working for me.
Thank you!

> If I can't use the "Microsoft Windows RDP" service because of the private IP; would I be able to use a software like "TeamViewer" to gain access to my PC?
Yes. This is how a VPN server works around the private IP address restrictions of the VZW network. It will work and you will be able to access anything that is centrally connected to a VPN server.
> Also, if I were to take the VPN option and setup a VPN server on the PC
Not on the remote PC silly guy. Hosting a VPN from within the VZW network wont do you any good as its IP will be masked by the NAT firewall. You must setup a VPN server off of the VZW network for it to work. That way when you remote into the VPN server it is already outside of the VZW NAT that is restricting you in the first place. There are many VPN vendors that you can test out and pay access for if you don't have any interest in setting up one on your own. Some are free where others charge more money for more bandwidth and customization features.
> If I were to try to connect to this PC on the JetPack side from an external PC on a different network I don't know how I would be able to access it since the JetPack IP address is private.
The idea is that everything rests on the VPN server when remote connections are made. The Jetpack PC, VPN Server and your current local PC all connect to the VPN server so everything is then local communication. The VPN will make it appear as though everything is virtually connected to the same appliance even though they are physically separated by whatever distance you want.

How to set Port Forwarding for video chat with AIM user?

I'm trying to setup video chat between my Mac in the US (with iChat 3.1) and my friend's PC in Japan (with AIM). I need to know what ports needs to be forwarded on my friend's router, and/or on my router.
Right now, when I attempt video chat with my friend (in Japan) at my home network, the invitation only works one way (me -> friend). And when I try to do it at work, it doesn't work at all.
Help appreciated,

Hi,
I am also having a similar problem that perhaps others can help with.
I'm using an iMac G5 with iChat here in the States, and am trying to connect to my parents' PC running AIM 5.5 on Windows XP sp2. To complicate matters, my parents have a Belkin wireless modem/router that they use to connect to the Internet.
Currently, I can text chat with my parents, and send files to them via iChat. However, whenever I try to initiate a video chat, I get an error saying that "Phil Waymouth" (i.e. my computer) isn't responding.
This is where we are at the moment:
- Internal firewall on my G5 is turned off. I can port scan login.oscar.aol.com fine for both TCP and UDP.
- XP firewall on my parent's computer is on, but has UPnP Framework (ports TCP 2869 and UDP 1900) set up as an exception.
- I've gone through the stages on http://portforward.com to set up Port Forwarding on my parents' Belkin router. In addition, we've enable UPnP on the router and restarted it. However, if we use www.myip.dk to get the IP address of one of their computers, and attempt to port scan it, it fails.
It feels like it's still either their router, or some ISP issue that's the problem?
I apologise for re-hashing the same problem, but perhaps someone here will have a lightbulb moment!
Any help is much appreciated,
Phil

WRT110 - still can't get Port forwarding to work

Here's the deal: Vista PC behind WRT110 in PPPOe mode which is behind a successfully bridged AT&T Westell modem/router (but it's not in DMZ mode). I've setup a static IP on my computer and enabled port forwarding to it in the router. Then I test port forwarding and still fail the test. On my Westell modem, it says I can share my (external) static IP with my router. Would that do anything helpful? Can you suggest anything else helpful? Thanks so much!!

Mort wrote:
You can use the Static IP under WRT110 .... using Internet Connection type ....
If the port forwarding is not working then reset & reconfigure the router ...
Thanks for your reply! If my modem is bridged, how do I know what my router's static IP address should be? Would it be the same as the modem?

SA 540 Can't get port forwarding to work.

Now that the DMZ port doesn't seem to work, I have placed our Web and CRM server on a VLAN. I have created a firewall forwarding rule -> WAN to LAN HTTP allow always and pointed it to the internal IP address.
When I type in our domain name in the browser I only get the Cisco remote management page, no forwarding to the web server.
What am I doing wrong?
I have tried to disable the remote management, but that still doesn't change anything. (btw, how do I change which port the RMON uses, it's grayed out in the setup page)
SA 540 firmware 1.0.39

No it does not work from outside my devise, I just get to the RMON page, no forwarding to my Web server at all. I've taken all FW rules away and just have the WAN to LAN allow HTTP "ip address of server" but still nothing.
I got confirmation that the DMZ/Optional port does not work, I can't SSL from our Apple computers to our Network, and now it seems like we can't get our Web or e-mail servers working either if there is not port forwarding. On top of this, it now also seems like the SA 540 is blocking EDNS packets, slowing down our DNS server. Please tell me that there is something to be done, it can't be that Cisco have put a "Pro" devise out where only 9 out of 10 ports work and that you can not host Web, email or CRM servers because there is no port forwarding, not to mention it only supports IE browsers for SSL.
I don't mean to sound cranky, but we have spend so much time trying to get this devise to work, please help. (I wish I could give you some logs, but logging doesn't seem to work either)

Can't set port for IRC in Sharing/Firewall preferences...

I turned on the firewall and was able to specify ports for Bittorrent, but I want to use IRC (it keeps getting blocked, which I'm assuming has something to do with the firewall which I just activated), so I went into System Preferences-->Sharing-->Firewall, scrolled down to IRC and then Edit, for TCP number it has 194 (but grayed out) and UDP it's blank, but I can't alter either entry box.
It's my computer and I have whatever access privileges I need (I think) so at a loss here. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
P.S. Some of the IRC servers I wanted to set up accounts with had port listings of 6667 and the like, that's also why I wanted to specify the number.

Create a new entry with a name such as IRC #2 and add the desired ports to that entry. You cannot alter the ports assigned to the default entries; you need to create new ones to specify additional ports.

Can't get port forwarding to work.

I have the old white UFO airport extreme. v 5.7
When I have port mapping to a particular LAN IP, let say 80 public and 80 private, and I setup that particular computer to use that LAN IP, that computer cannot connect to the internet. I have to use automatic DHCP, DHCP with manual address doesn't work. Any ideas?
On the "Network" tab in the airport config, I tried both "Distribute IP addresses" checked and unchecked. Same thing, I cannot get it to connect if I manually assign the IP address of the computer I want it to port to (within the System Preferences -> Network - Built-In-Ethernet).
I remember having less difficulty getting this done with a cheap netgear router and on windows NT with apache...

When you manually assign the information to your computer you should use values similar to these:
IP address: 10.0.1.201
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
DNS servers: 10.0.1.1
Router/gateway: 10.0.1.1

Can anyone tell me how to port forward and setup an XBOX 360 using my Time Capsule??

Xbox 360
When playing the game online, the minimum speed of your network should be 128kbps. The ideal network speed for playing the game online is 768kbps. If you are having a problems with lag check the following:
Network Troubleshooting:
Disable any firewall or security features on your router.
Set port forwarding on your router to the IP address of your Xbox 360. This game uses port 3074 (UDP/TCP). Additionally Xbox LIVE requires ports 80, 53 TCP and 88, 53 UDP.
Place your Xbox 360 into the DMZ of your router.
Disconnect your router and try the game. If it works regularly at this point something about your router may not be completely compatible with the specific needs of this game. Check with your router manufacturer and Microsoft's Xbox Live Connection Issues page for additional steps that may need to be done to resolve the issue you are having. You can also verify that you have an Xbox Live compatible router.
If you are having issues connecting while multiple Xbox 360 consoles are connected on the same network, try forwarding port 3074 (UDP/TCP) for one Xbox 360 and setting the other as DMZ. There is a chance that this may not resolve you issue, if it doesn’t then you may want to consider getting an additional public IP address by contacting your Internet Service Provider and assigning it to one of these two consoles.
NOTE: If setting port forwarding or DMZ helps your connection issue, you may want to assign your Xbox 360 a static IP address within your home network. This can help to ensure that the configurations you made do not need to be done again. You can visit PortForward's Static IP Guide for a detailed guide on how to do this.
NOTE: Many broadband internet modems are coming with routing capabilities built in. Please contact your internet service provider to determine if your internet modem has an integrated router. If it does, they should be able to assist you with the steps above for setting up your router.
Once you have verified that your network setup is not the cause of the issue, try the following:
Try connecting to a different server. Some servers may have other players connected to them that you do not have an optimal connection with. In most games this is accomplished by backing out to the main menu and then selecting multiplayer again. From there you can try connecting to another online game.
Run the Xbox Network Self Test to see how strong your NAT is currently set to. Once the test is completed you will be notified if there is an issue with your connection. If you select "More Info" you will be given information about your NAT type and some steps to resolve any issues with your connection.
Moderate and Strict NAT types may have issues connecting to online matches. You may get the error "Notice - The game session is no longer available." If you do then enabling UPnP, forwarding port 3074, or placing your Xbox in your router's DMZ may resolve this issue. Please consult your router documentation for instructions on how to do this.

Whoa....this just went way over my head.... I already have 6.1 installed for my Airport Utility.
Read again what I wrote.. 6.1 is the problem.. or part of it.
You need to install the earlier 5.6 version which I have given you explicit instructions to do.
I have done something now and can not connect the XBOX at all now....unless you can provide me step by step directions I may have to call Apple Support.
This will happen over and over.. just press reset and start again.. you need to learn how to do the setup and using 5.6 utility will help you.. as will using ethernet from the computer to the TC.. trying to fix things over wireless is like sitting on a tree branch you are sawing off. As soon as you update you will fall to the ground.
I am not that sure that Apple Support will have any idea.
Do a google search .. you will find most people struggle with this.. Microsoft made the xbox to use upnp with vista specs.. if you use a router without upnp, ie any apple router.. you will have issues.
Have a go at bypassing the problem.. I have no idea if this will work.. I do not use a TC as the main router because much of my network including xbox and ps3 is just a pain.. I use a modem router with upnp. And bridge the TC.. that is the setup I would recommend.
Try this.. once you have installed 5.6 utility.
Get the IP of the XBox and click enable default host.. and put the IP address in there.. this is called DMZ.. all unassigned packets are forwarded to this ip address.. it is like a port forwarding for all ports.
See if it helps.. If it does you will need to lock the xbox address so it doesn't change.. we can get to that.
Tell me what kind of broadband you have and what modem router first.. none of this will work if you have double NAT.

Can not port forward on WRT54GS v6 "You cannot use the router IP"

Hello, I'm trying to open a port number, but when I try to use my router's IP, the following message appears
"You cannot use the router IP, network, or broadband address"
[IMG]http://i45.tinypic.com/107qond.jpg[/IMG]
My ADSL was working as a NAT behind a NAT connection, so I had to change my Local IP Address to 192.168.2.1.
Router: WRT54GS v6 firmware 1.52.8 (latest) - Bellsouth router: Westell 6100
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
   Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : launchmodem.com
   Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::40a9:a76e:61b3:6435%11
   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.100
   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.1
So, please help me, how can I open ports on my router? =[
PS: I tried to use 192.168.2.100, and even though it lets me use it, it still seems not to open that port... my IP is dynamic.

Generally: NAT behind NAT is a bad idea. There is usually no need for double NAT. Either configure the ADSL router as bridge and use the WRT for your internet connection or set up the WRT as simple access point behind the ADSL router.
It's also unclear to me what is working or not. First I thought you can't set up forwarding at all because you get that error message. Then, in your PS you write you tried to use 192.168.2.100 and that seemed to be possible. The IP address to forward to must be the IP address of the computer to which you want to forward. Thus 192.168.2.100 is exactly the IP address you have to set up. Does this work or not?
Also remember: with double NAT you must set up two forwardings: first on the ADSL router then on the WRT. Port forwarding is necessary to allow incoming traffic through NAT. All incoming traffic arrives on the ADSL router. Thus setting up port forwarding on the WRT only won't do a thing.
It's also not recommend to use dynamic IPs for forwarding destinations. Dynamic IP addresses may change over time and that requires you to adjust forwardings accordingly. It's better to reserve fixed IP addresses (if your WRT supports this) or set a static IP address on the computer outside the DHCP address pool.

Help setting up port forwarding for Ekiga

Hi
I am trying to set up Ekiga on my Arch X86_64 box but I can't get port forwarding to work on the Thomson TG585v7 wireless router, which I am sharing with a neighbor. I have tried some how-to's I found via Google and set up Application/Game Sharing for the ports Ekiga uses. I also set up static IP connection as it seems to be needed by the router for port forwarding to work but Ekiga still reports that it cannot set up my network connection and asks me to set up port forwading manually, which I have already done.
I would very much appreciate any help to get Ekiga going for me.
My thanks in advance.

Thanks, but the problem is that setting up the router doesn't seem to work. I checked and repeated the set up a few times but no result. I feel I am missing a little detail somewhere but can't put my finger on it :-(

Setting up router for port forwarding - WRT54G

Hi all. I'm trying to set up my WRT54G wireless router so.i can port forward the relevant ports for my programs. I understand that you have to set up a static ip address before you can do a port forward which makes sense as you do not want to keep changing the ip address for the forwarding settings every time your network refreshes. But I cant seem to have it set up. And is there a rule that the static ip that you set should not be within the dhcp range?
After setting up the static ip and setting up the port forward settings how do I test if the port is being forwarded correctly?
Please assist! Thanks!

IIt;s usually to set the static IP outside the DHCP range like you said. You can use the router's DHCP reservation feature to set a "static IP", and as for your last question, you can find different methods on how to do that by searching the web.
I don't work for Cisco. I'm just here to help.
