Forwarding Ports

Using the Airport utility, I have tried and failed many times, following many guides to forward ports on my Time Capsule.
I would a appreciate some help on the subject

Hi, Hennahane. Welcome to the forums!
Here's how you'd go about setting up port forwarding:
Open AirPort Utility and select your Time Capsule in the sidebar. Press "Manual Setup" and authenticate if necessary.
Press "Internet" in the toolbar. Go to the "DHCP" tab and press the "+" button at the bottom.
Enter a description for the computer you're forwarding the port to. (e.g., "My MacBook.") Press "Continue." Then enter the MAC address of the computer you're forwarding the port to. Change the last number of the IPv4 address to something other than 1. Write down the IP address you decide on. Then press "Done."
Next, press "Advanced" in the toolbar. Then select the "Port Mapping" tab. Press the "+" button.
For "Private IP Address," enter the IP address you wrote down.
If you're forwarding ports with a specific service in mind, you can choose it from the Service menu, and it will fill in all other required information. (If, instead, you know exactly what TCP or UDP port you want to forward, enter it in the appropriate "Public _ Port" field. Then enter the port you're forwarding to for the "Private _ Port" field.)
Press "Continue." Press "Done." Press "Update," and allow your Time Capsule to restart. Then you're done!
If you have questions or need me to clarify something, don't hesitate to ask. Also, if the instructions don't work, let me know—depending on how your network is set up, additional steps may need to be taken.

Unable to forward ports on HH4

Hi all,
Had Infinity 2 installed a couple of weeks ago, and I am finding it impossible to forward ports on the HH4. I have tried every which way but with no luck so, to make things easier to explain, have just factory reset my router and have done the following:
(The PC I am trying to forward to has the static IP of 192.168.0.10, and the port I need to forward is 4040)
Changed hub IP to 192.168.0.1 (my network is set up for this IP, have also tried on original IP with no success)
Changed DHCP range to 192.168.0.64 - 192.168.0.253
Disabled uPNP
Set up a new application 'Subsonic' to forward both protocols in the range 4040-4040, to translate to 4040-4040
Assigned this application to device of static IP 192.168.0.10
Apply settings.
... And nothing! Port still closed. Have I missed anything?
This is a major issue for me at the moment, somebody please help!
(Oops, forgot to add - Firewall and antivirus are both off on the PC)

Tried 192.168.0.58, 192.168.0.60 and 192.168.0.200 (after adjusting the DHCP assign to 192.168.0.66-192.168.0.100)
No luck on any of them - Just get this as usual....

I've been having a problem forwarding ports in my router...

I've been having a problem forwarding ports in my router WRT160N I enable the ports I want to use for my applications, just after clicking save settings I go back to my port's forwarding section and I don't see any application I add being saved. Please help, thanks.

Might be possible that it will take time to save the settings ... so once you click save settings wait for few seconds ...
Also if it not working ... disable all firewall on the computer & then try to configure the router ...

Linksys keep prompting for username and password when trying to forward port

As when we want to access the linksys router homepage we enter 192.168.1.1, and than we enter our user name and password. This is a normal step. But lately when i wanna forward a port and change the last 3 digit of the ip address, eg. to 101, i keep getting a promt for my user name and password but when i enter it correctly, it sill prompt me no matter whats. I used to forward port with no problem but do not know why this problem started to arise. Can anyone help me with this?
Btw i am using Linksys B router. THANKS

were u using the default password ?? because there is a possibility that someone in your neighbourhood must have connected to the wireless network and changed the router login password..
apart from this i don't see any reason of the old router password not working ..

How do I forward ports on my Airport Express?

I've been trying to get my ports open for a while now, but haven't succeeded. Here's my setup:
I have an Airport Express connected to a Dynalink RTA1320 ADSL2+ modem. I am running 10.5.2.
On the Dynalink modem, I have set 10.0.1.1 as a DMZ host, which is the address of the Airport Express.
I understand that in Airport Utility, I need to set private and public ports, as well as IP address. I am using NPMP with the Airport Express, and I have a default host set as 10.0.1.253. This is the IP address I am using on my Mac, and the one that I am using when forwarding ports on the Airport Express.
Even after doing all this, online port checkers still say that the ports I have forwarded are closed, and I can't work out why.
However: I am using XTorrent as my BitTorrent client. I have the port 49350 set as the default port in that application. XTorrent has the ability to open ports by itself, and it seems to have succeeded at doing this, even though I cannot open other ports manually. 49350 reads as open when using an online port checker.
These are the questions I have:
1. Am I inputting the right IP addresses?
2. Is NPMP doing me any good, or should I be using straight DHCP?
3. Am I doing the right thing by setting 10.0.1.1 as a DMZ?
4. Am I doing anything else wrong?
Thanks very much for your input in advance.

On the Dynalink modem, I have set 10.0.1.1 as a DMZ host, which is the address of the Airport Express.
This is probably incorrect. 10.0.1.1 is the LAN IP address of the AirPort Express (AX). You want to use the IP address provided by the Dynalink to the AX. It is the IP address used on the WAN side of the AX.
...Airport Express, and I have a default host set as 10.0.1.253.
If you configure the AX for Default Host operation, ALL of the ports are forwarded to the assigned IP address. The is no other configuration needed to forward the ports.

Want to forward ports, but 'add' and 'default host' are grayed out! help!

Hey folks. Configuring my laptop to access a new airport express plugged in one floor below me. great signal connection works fine, but of course it isn't forwarding ports i want... so I go to set it up... now, the owner of the house set it up first, but he told me the password so I could futz with it... now when i pull up the base station config in airport admin, the relevant options are grayed out! The whole section in which default host option is located is grayed out, as are all the buttons e.g. 'add' on the forward ports tab! I've tried doing all the tricks I can think of; if anyone has any insight as to where to look to fix this, I'd appreciate it enorm.

Copy these commands into TextEdit, replace the bracketed part with your username and the quoted parts with the ext HD's name, retaining the quotes.
sudo chflags 0 /Volumes/"name of ext HD"
sudo chmod a+rx /Volumes/"name of ext HD"
Launch the Terminal app in /Applications/Utilities, copy and paste the first one into the window that pops up, and hit the return key. When the Password: prompt pops up, carefully type in your admin password, since nothing shows on the screen, and hit the return key. Copy & paste the other two, one at a time, following each with hitting the return key. You won't get the password prompt, since the initial one's good for five minutes.
Quit the Terminal app and you should be able to read and write to the ext HD.

Forward Ports

I have a Linksys EA6900 Router.
I'm setting up a security system with IP cameras and need 4 ports opened.
I'm trying to forward ports. I had to open port 80 for my crameras, I entered the information in the single port fordwarding section and it opened fine. I entered port 8200 with the same iP address I used for port 80 but won't open. But I can change the Ip address for port 8200 then it opens.
I opened 3 ports with the same IP address I used to open port 80 in port range forwarding and it worked.
My question is because I'm using IP cameras should I use the IP address of the each camera or the DVR for the cameras or the router?
Thanks for the help

I looked up what you gave me but there just isn't any useful information regarding the system.
The IP Camera must be streaming video to the NVR so it has something to record.
Check to see if the NVR has a website or remote access you can use on your local network. Then use port forwarding to make those services of the NVR available to you off site.
Another option would be to use different external ports to each IP Camera.
Ex:
Camera 1 Port Forward rule:
External Port 10001 to internal Camera 1 IP Address port 80
Camera 2 Port Forward rule:
External Port 10002 to internal Camera 2 IP Address port 80
Etc................
To remote access Camera 1:
http://your-public-ip:10001
To remote access Camera 2:
http://your-public-ip:100012
Please remember to Kudo those that help you.

Issue Forwarding Port 7000 on RVS4000 Router

Hi Everyone,
I have recently replaced a WatchGuard Firebox SOHO 6 with a Linksys 4 Port Router Mod: RVS4000 because the WatchGuard was becoming unstable.
I set up the new router with all the settings from the previous equipment, which included forwarding port 7000 to a specific IP.
This port broadcasts images from a surveillance software installed on a computer with a static IP (the computer runs on Vista).
In order to view the broadcasted video on another computer, I use a proprietary software not a web browser.
So far, I tried single port forwarding without being able to view the images and range port forwarding with the same result.
I spend over an hour with the Business Tech Support from Linksys without success. They even remoted into the device and found nothing suspicious.
Currently the router runs on firmware version 1.2.11 and the Tech Support people suggested upgrading to a newer version.
I'm concerned to do so because I in read other postings that I can run into a bigger problem (i.e. bricking the router).
Finally, other ports are being forwarded (i.e. port 3389 RDP) and it works fine, so at least I know the forwarding feature is working properly.
Can someone shed some ligh as to what to do next?
Needless to say, everything was working fine with the WatchGuard Firebox and no changes in equipment, IPs or other software/hardware have been done.
Thank you in advance fro your help.

Greetings,
That sounds peculiar that some ports would get forwarded but others not, you might want to check and see if your ISP is blocking the ports if your going through the internet to this security application. If everything is local, then you should try to follow the advice of upgrading your firmware to the latest version, in order to avoid "bricking" your router do the following sequence, before you upgrade:
do a backup of your configuration (optional)
Reset router to factory default settings from the GUI.
Upgrade to latest firmware.
Reset router to factory default settings again from the GUI.
Configure everything again manually *RECOMENDED*
This somewhat ilogical sequence of events prevents the IOS from being corrupted and has worked in many cases I have dealt with regarding router "lock up" issues.
Besides that the only thing else I can think of is find out if there are any more additional ports required for this application to work properly and check to see if your using the exact protocol UDP or TCP for the ports that are being forwarded.
Regards.

How to forward ports using Airport Extreme?

So,
I wanna forward some ports but every guide I find on the internet describes how to use the Airport Admin Utilty to do this. The problem is though that I can't configure my AE using AIrport Admin Utility; I need to use my Airport Utility instead. The only problem is that I don't know how to forward ports using Airport Utility.
Anyone?

In AirPort Utility, Port Forwarding is called Port Mapping which is under the Advanced->Port Mapping tab.

How to forward port 25565?

I'm trying to run a minecraft server, and whenever I try to forward my port in port mapping in network preferences, I still get a "port 25565 is closed" on a port checking website. Putting my ip in the interenet browser does not load any setting either

The main router is my 1 generation connected to my Ethernet/modem
So this TC gets the public IP address? Please check the summary page of the TC that it has a public not private wan IP.
The extend network TC is bridged so that doesn't matter. The only place you forward ports is the main TC if it is the main router of the network.
Post the screen shots of the setup of port forwarding on that.

Port forward/ Port trigger?????????????

ok.......How do I use them? Triggered Range start port? to end port? Forwarded Range start point? to end point? Would it be the same forwarded ports? do I put the same port # in all for areas? I'm working with WRT54GS ver. 6
I have port forwarded two ports. How do I use the port triggering?

hi , yes you can specify the same Port # all along....will not create any issues....however if you have enabled port forwarding for a particular port....you will not be able to use that same port for port triggering..
let me know what you wanna do.....i'll try n help

WRT300N Not forwarding ports

I am trying to forward ports 2934 and 2935 to use with Falcon 4.0. About a month ago my ISP(Rogers) provided us with a new modem to replace our very old one. Now, I am not able to forward any ports, I know how to forward them and have done it in the past, but it now does not want to work at all. I tried scanning the ports that I have opened but it says they are closed. Is this a problem with the router, or is it the modem causing this? If it is the router, is there a way to fix this? It is very frustrating.

Try first the connection or the Ports are opened for Modem or not ...
if not then talk to your Internet Service Provider ...
if yes .. then make sure that you are using static Ip for ports forwarding .....
Also you can check for upgraded firmware also ....

Airport extreme uses its ip when forwarding ports

Ive set the extreme to forward port 21
the trouble is that the ip that the client is forwarded as is the airports external ip rather than the connecting external ip
In other words when a server on the net with ip 200.200.200.200 tries to connect to the ftp server the IP the FTP server sees is the airports external IP
This makes it impossible to filter access by IP
Is there something Im doing wrong ?

thats unfortunate
every other router Ive tried on the market works the "other" way and forwards the actual client ip
I wouldn't be surprised if there was an RFC that covered it
time to send the extreme back

How do you forward ports?

I cannot seem to find any help as to HOW to forward ports--I have been using bittorrent and it works fairly well, but I think it might perform better if I could only forward to a better port.
Opinions?
Advice?

Do you have a router? If so you can set up port forwarding in the router. Consult the User Guide for it. It should provide instructions on how to access the router via your web browser and how to set up port forwarding.

Can't forward ports with Cisco EPC3925 and Airport Express and Extreme!

Hello,
I have very big problem, I've been trying for whole day to forward ports for steam and I just can't I tried everything, I have Cisco EPC3925 ( Its main thing I think its router - right ? ) Then I have connected Airport Express to it with ethernet cable ( It's working as DHCP and NAT I have double nat issue in my airport program I don't know what is this ) also Airport Express is set to create a Wi-Fi network, then I have connected Airport Extreme with Wi-fi and set to exceed wi-fi network and can't change anything in it , can't open ports etc. etc. MY COMPUTER is connected to Airport Extreme ( 2nd device ) with cable ! So Im not connecting my computer to internet with wi-fi
Also I've been looking in Airport Express ( the 1st device ) and I saw that there I can open ports , but I opened them and nothing happend ... ports are still closed... Also I've set my computer ip to static , tried everything . And portforward.com site isn't helpfull . Also I tried to set Airport Express ( 1st device ) in bridge mode and nothing happend ( after I set it to bridge mode I can't open ports in airport program )
Please is there anyone that can Help me with this ????
Also I want to say that somehow I dont know how, but I managed to open ports in the past
I need to open all necessary ports because If I can't open them - I can't make a server and people can't join . I really really need help I've spent whole today's saturday to get it to work and this won't work !

Yes, the Cisco EPC3925 is a combination modem and wireless router or gateway device. This is the device that you would need to configure for port forwarding/mapping.
Then I have connected Airport Express to it with ethernet cable ( It's working as DHCP and NAT I have double nat issue in my airport program I don't know what is this )
A "Double NAT" condition is when you have two or more routers in series where they all have NAT enabled. NAT is a service that is intended to allow you to share one Public IP address with multiple Private network clients. This is what allows you to have more than one computer on your local network have the ability to share an Internet access.
Since you have your AirPort Express connected to the Cisco by Ethernet AND the Express is configured to have NAT enabled is why you are getting a Double NAT warning.
Normally you would want all downstream routers to be reconfigured as bridges (NAT & DHCP disabled).
also Airport Express is set to create a Wi-Fi network, then I have connected Airport Extreme with Wi-fi and set to exceed wi-fi network and can't change anything in it , can't open ports etc. etc.
You will need to reconfigure the Express as a bridge. The fact that you have configured the Extreme to extend its wireless range is fine.
Also I've been looking in Airport Express ( the 1st device ) and I saw that there I can open ports , but I opened them and nothing happend ... ports are still closed
You do not want to open ports on the Express. Again, if you reconfigure it as a bridge you won't need to as all of its ports will be opened.
Ok I understand what u said, so I set my airport Express 1st device in bridge mode - if I do that I can surf internet without problems etc. Then when I set it to bridge mode my computer gets adress 192.168.1.X ( My computer gets 13 and I've set it to be static ) so my computer is 192.168.1.13 then -> I open ports for example 2700-27015 ( for steam ) in my router cisco website witch is 192.168.1.1 and in ip adress label I put my computer adress 192.168.1.13 after I do this I reset the router and turn it back on after all this everything should work fine and my ports should be open right?? Well..I've tried it.. after this I can surf internet without problems of course but my ports are still closed ... Im checking them on http://www.canyouseeme.org/ and it says they are closed I've tried with pultiple ports such as 80 .. and it just won't work I don't know why..
Also someone told me to use DMZ on and in ip adress put WAN ip of my airport express ( if its NOT set in bridge mode ) and open ports for my airport ( also I tried to open for my computer too ) - It doesn't work
Please friend tell me you can help me ..
