EA4500 router not opening ports even in DMZ

I have a EA4500 router running the following firmware: http://puu.sh/4l2Hb.jpg
I want to forward the following ports to host a game server: http://puu.sh/4l2Jb.png
In case you are wondering device ip# is correct and my computer has a static ip: http://puu.sh/4l2KQ.png (picture taken from the ipconfig command)
I made an exception for each and every one of these ports through windows firewall: http://puu.sh/4l2VU.png
more proof of the ports having an exception: http://puu.sh/4l2Xl.png
what happens when i check to see if the port is open: http://puu.sh/4l30O.png (ip adress hiden)
I have done everything correctly to my knowledge yet the ports are still not open. I have called my isp and they claim to not be stopping me from blocking ports. If it is the ISP's problem could someone explain to me exactly what I should ask them or tell them to do the next time I call their support line?
Also when I put the router in dMZ mode (a mode that i understand to open all my ports) my ports still remain closed which I really do not understand at all.

Hi,
The IP address that you removed from here http://puu.sh/4l30O.png , is it the same with the WAN IP (Internet IP Address) displayed on the router? If it's not, then you have a double NAT issue. But if you have the same IP and still not opening the ports, you may try to check it directly to the modem. There are some ISPs that blocks uncommon ports and you may have to contact them to open it.
If everyone needs to believe in something, I believe I'll have another beer..

HH2 and HH3 not opening ports

Hi Guys
This is more of an FYI post rather than a oh dear whats wrong post.
We've had the HH2 for about a 2 years or so now and lately have been having some interesting, shall we say, personality traits with our HH2.
Often, for no reason, the HH2 will drop all wireless signals and will not allow anyone to connect, new devices, old devices or ethernet devices. Only a press of the restart button will resolve this.
Now thats not too annoying apart from the hassle but another (major) issue we're having is port opening/gaming.
Last week i decided to start playing a game i hadnt played it years, upon completion of downloading and installation i tried to connect, may i note weve never had any problems with gaming whatsoever with the HH2 in the 2 years weve had it, unfortunately i kept getting connection errors. So being an IT guy myself i decided to pull up the ports for the game and proceeded to open them up in the HH2's manager and assign them to my device.
Tried to reconnect and still got the error.. i was a bit crosseyed here so i thought well i shall try a port scanner and check to make sure my ports have been opened. They hadnt.. i checked the hub again, ports were listed as open and available in the application sharing section and also assigned to my device.
I proceeded to disable firewalls and DMZ my laptop, risky i know but i am an IT guy and know what i am doing. Anyways i restarted the HH2 again to make sure the firewall selection and DMZ applied. I waited and checked the HH2 was up and rechecked the settings all ok.
I ran the port scan again, the ports were still NOT open. Now this is quite annoying. I went to work and tested the game there on a bog standard ADSL line and the game worked fine. Take it home and not a peep.
I have spoken to BT and we're getting a HH3 free of charge to fix the problem but i just wanted you all to know that there could be some serious issues with the HH2 and it not opening ports, nor allowing DMZ to function correctly!
Thanks everyone, have a nice day and apologies on my wall of text.

Ok i think this thread is going to turn into a help me thread... in fact i dont think.. i know...
HELP ME!!!
I have received the new HH3 and with furvour decided to get into the hub, setup the wireless and put the ports in the forward list... i excitedly restarted the hub and connected...
and guess what.. still no joy.. ports are ALL closed... i have even DMZ'd my laptop and that isnt working.. im not getting the IP address im still getting an internal 192 address...
Can anyone give me a clue as to whats going on here? pulling my hair out now!

Linksys E1200 Router not saving Port Forwarding changes

Hi!
I am currently attempting to port forward on my Linksys E1200 Router and am not succeeding in saving my settings. I am attempting to open port 25565 though both Single Port Forwarding and Port Range Forwarding, and whenever I click the "save settings" button, I receive a full window message stating that my changes have been saved. Upon clicking this, I return to the previous screen whereupon my changes have been erased and my port has not been forwarded. Can anyone assist me with this? I've searched for hours through forums and tech help websites, but I can't find anyone else with this issue.
Issue:
Linksys E1200 Router not saving Port Forwarding changes.
I have tried:
-Restarting the Modem
-Restarting the browser
-Restarting the computer
-Tried to Port Forward through both the Single and Ranged Port Forwarding

Hi there. You can try another browser or a different computer. If it is the same thing, upgrade the firmware of the router. You can refer to this link on how to http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=0a6881b90224439b92c8d8f19ca42e5d_21511.xml&pid=80&...

Router not Forwarding Ports Correctly.

Hi I currently have WRT610N (Firmware Version 1.00.02 B10)and when I go to forward a port, I go log into my router. Go to Port Range Forwarding and forward my range to my ip address (192.168.0.103) I get from run/cmd/ipconfig, and enable it. My pc's firewall is disabled altogether just to test it, and I used "http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/" to check if the port is forwarded and still nothing... I've tried several other Port Checking websites and still nothing... I Don't Know What's Wrong......

Go through this checklist.
Considering that you have changed the IP address of your router from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.0.1 I would guess your modem is also a router and thus everything coming in from the internet ends at the modem and not at the WRT...

WRTG54G does not open ports

Hi,
I've got a problem that recently occured.
I used to host games and a FTP server, and for that i needed to open some ports. It used to work all the time, but recently people couldn't connect to me anymore.
I've tested some things online (open port scanners) and it seems that all my ports are closed.
It used to work fine, but now it doesnt anymore. I didn't change anything. What could be the problem here?
Thanks, Neil
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well, if you did not change anything, it could be:
1. The port forwardings in the router may be missing. (The router reset to factory default due to a power failure or similar).
2. You did not set up the server with a static IP address. The server gets the IP address from the DHCP server on the router. You kept the server running for a long time and the server always got the same IP address from the router. Now, for whatever reason, the server was assigned a different IP address and your forwarding is not working anymore.
3. You run a firewall on your server and one of the latest updates closed down all ports.
4. Your ISP may started blocking incoming connections.

The EA3500 Smart Wi/Fi Will Not Open Port Forewarding

I have a windows 2012 essentials server that is on the network that requires port forwarding for HTTPS 443 and HTTP 80. The route that was working on the network without any issues was the WRT54GL on port forwarding.
The reason for the upgrade was the LAN port from 100Mbps to 1000Mbps to connect to a switch that has 1000Mbps so that the company intranet could transfer data at a faster rate.
This part works without any issues, the issue is the port forwarding on the route will not open the open the port need for the server.
I was on the chat with Linksys support and ask me to reflash the route with the firmware from the Linksys site and still no open ports

The way the windows 2012 essentials server is contacted from the remote web page is by service call Anywhere Access and port 443 needs to be open to get access to the remote web page and if you are using VPN it also access port 443 to connect to the server.
My internet provide is COX and port 443 is not blocked.
The problem is the route service port forwarding that I program to open up the port 443 will not pass traffic. The EA3500 route shows block.
I was on the phone off and on working with support for two days to try and correct this issue. Support had me restore factory settings, reflash the router with the firmware from their support web page, and rebuild the port forwarding port 443 and to the point of telling me to returning the router to company that I bought it from and getting a replacement.

I'm using outlook email, Firefox 11 and Windows 7 Home but email links do not open Firefox even though it's my default browser, Fix?

My email links fail to open Firefox 11. They used to last week but IE updated and now links in my outlook emails do not open Firefox 11 even though it's my default browser. When I change to IE as the default the links open IE.
Your assumptions about my browser, operating system and others are correct.
VERY FRUSTRATING. HELP, Please

Hi,
Please also try this: Windows Control Panel > '''Default Programs''' > '''Associate a file type or protocol with a program''' > look for '''.url''' > '''Change program''' to Firefox.
edit: You have to restart Outlook or sometimes reboot the system for the change to take effect. Thanks AUnderhill.

Multible tabs open when i clik a link to a new tab; then do not open or even show up when i try to close them with 'close all tabs'..they are like 'ghost tabs'

This has been happening for several days now...the tabs are shown on the tab bar, but do not open up or close when i try to close them....when i tried 'close all tabs', which then says 'you are trying to close 2 tabs', they are not counted as being open....only way i can get rid of them is to close FireFox completely, then it starts all over again. Ghost Tabs!

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

Safari not opening firefox even though firefox is set as default in safai

I followed the recommended set up by going to preferences and setting firefox as the default browser.
If I start Safari it does not open the web page using firefox
If I activate firefox from the menu bar it works fine.
Why is setting the default to firefox not working.

Safari is not going to open Firefox since they are both browsers. When you set a default browser, it means that if you click a link in an email, say, the browser that the link will open with is Firefox. If you want to launch a browsing session on your own, you select the browser you want to use.

AE with inbound SIP and RTP over UDP - Will not open ports

I am using a Linksys SPA962 IP Phone via an Airport Express with the latest firmware connecting to an Asterisk PBX (http://www.asterisk.org) over the internet. I may make outbound calls and have my incoming and outgoing audio over RTP with the appropriate UDP ports no problem. But, when I receive an inbound call, I get the SIP INVITE no problem, but the AE refuses to open those RTP ports. I have NAT keep alive at 15 seconds.
Now, I have tried almost every combination. Enabling NAT-PMP forwarding to all of the appropriate IP/Ports, turning it off (really should not be necessary with keep alive on register with the Asterisk). I am stumped, it is almost as of AE does not like UDP for inbound. I have others using Linksys routers with a similar configuration working inbound and outbound no problem.
I am stumped. Ideas? Chuck the AE in the bin?

I Googled up the following:
http://lists.apple.com/archives/Macnetworkprog/2006/Jul/msg00040.html
I am having this issue:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7256265#7256265
Are all these things the same issue?
My ISP "tells me" that they will not allow more than one IP address per account. I have a basic cable modem i.e. not a router. Its a D-Link DCM-202. I have been told to try a level-2 switch but I can't see how that will work. As far as I can see the DCM-202 cable modem is bridging to my AEBS so that is allocated the WAN IP address by the ISP's DHCP server. Does this sound right?
I'd like to create an actual DMZ but since my cable modem only has one port I can't see how I can do that unless I use 2 routers. If I try this I am expecting that I'd have complicated port forwarding configurations no?

SGE2010 Does not block ports even with STP enabled

Good day,
We are experiencing bridge storms and network slow downs and we believe we have traced the issue down to users plugging a cat 5/6 cable between 2 ports on the wall both wired back to a SGE2010 switch.
So we did a test - we plugged a single short cat 6 cable between 2 ports on a SGE2010, our access switch. Suprisingly, even with STP enabled, the switch DID NOT block one of the ports and in a few minutes the ENTIRE NETWORK was down, as CDP, STP, and ARP traffic became a multi-gigabit storm throughout the network.
Why on earth does this switch not block a port that is obviosly looped?
Every other cisco switch since I started on 1900XL's did this in 1999.
Thanks!

Dear Joe,
STP would conrol multiple links (for redundancy) between switches (endpoints) turning an inactive link on when the active goes down and preventing duplicate active links between them. More about STP at page 258 of the
SFE-SGE2xxx Admin Guide PDF.
The function you might be interested in is called "Storm Control" which limits the number of packets per second so to prevent the switch and the network from storms. See page 82 of the SFE-SGE2xxx Admin Guide PDF available here: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/csbms/sfe2000/administration/guide/SFE-SGE2xxx_Admin_Guide.pdf
Thanks and regards,
Zsolt
