Help with Port forwarding issue...
I have a new extreme base station at work currently opening a port # to a imac running a business app. Works fine, BUT I need to open another port # pointing to the exact same imac for using another related program. I opened airport utility did the exact same procedure as the working port but I can't seem to open any new #'s?? Any way to type in "Test port numbers" and check with portscan? I tried a few numbers and Nothing. The only one that comes back open is that one working port #. Nothing is blocked in sharing on the pointed iMac. Called my isp and they said they're not blocking anything. Tried power reset on the exteme and the iMac. No change. ANY help would be MUCH appreciated!! Thanks in Advance...
Here's an example of two such setups on my AEBS:
Notice that each service has its own ports but both point to the same machine IP address. Try using the machine's IP address assigned in Network preferences.

Help with port forwarding for the WRT54G
I need assistance please!
I am having issues trying to setup port forwarding for a ftp. I already have set this up for a SQL Server port and it works remotely. When I setup another rule for ftp using port range 20-21 it does not work.
I have confirmed that I have saved my settings, have the correct IP address, etc. I have firmware version 4.21.1 and not sure how to troubleshoot this. Any help would be great.
Thanks,
JohnYes you do need to have the port already forwarded for port 20~21 with both TCP/IP and UDP enabled unless you know for sure your ftp only uses just one of them. That is why I asked what port your SGL was set to. Follow the link that other guy posted and open port 20 and 21 (I only use 21 with no problems) and make sure it is directed to the IP of the ftp host. Also that PC needs to have the FTP enabled in windows. To do that go to your control panel > add/remove software > and on the left side go to add/remove windows components. Then check the box for the ftp and add it. It should ask for your windows CD do have it handy when you add the ftp component to your PC.

Help with port forwarding to application
Help needed to Port Forward on to my PS3.
I need to forward the following ports:
UDP: 3074; 3659; 6000
TCP: 80; 443; 3659; 10000 - 10099; 42127
Have previously given the PS3 a static IP, set the port forwarding rules and then forwarded to the IP address, but it appears the ports have not opened as expected.
Help KeithI can only see one image which just shows the application mapping, but no indication as to whether you had clicked the "apply" button.
Why are you forwarding ports 80 and 443, are you running a webserver on the PS3, as those ports are used for web serving.
As a matter of interest, your port 80 is showing as open at the moment, so is the PS3 turned on, or is port 80 mapped to something else instead?
What I would like you to do is to start from the beginning, with just the single TCP port number 3659 assigned to the PS3.
It will mean removing the other assignments, but it will make things a bit easier.
If you could do that please, and then we can do some tests.

Help with port forwarding ASA5505 v8.2
Hi,
Having an issue doing a port translation on an ASA5505 for RDP.
I have a /29 allocated by ISP and when I port forward the address assigned to the outside interface RDP works perfectly, however when I try to use another IP within the /29 range, I get nothing.
I am only new to ASA so please forgive if this is something obvious...
Relevant config is:
interface Vlan1
nameif inside
security-level 100
ip address 10.1.12.1 255.255.255.0
interface Vlan2
nameif outside
security-level 0
ip address X.X.X.217 255.255.255.248
access-list OUTSIDE-IN extended permit tcp any host X.X.X.218 eq 3389
static (inside,outside) X.X.X.218 10.1.12.10 netmask 255.255.255.255 sh run acces
global (outside) 1 interface
nat (inside) 1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
access-group OUTSIDE-IN in interface outside
When I used the outside IP address and it worked perfectly, config difference was only
access-list OUTSIDE-IN extended permit tcp any host X.X.X.217 eq 3389
static (inside,outside) tcp X.X.X.217 3389 10.1.12.10 3389 netmask 255.255.255.255
Any help would be greatly appreciatedHey Jouni,
Packet capture gave me this output which didnt have any TCP 3389... but had some random UDP ports only?

Urgent help with Port Forwarding?
Hi all!
I hope my posting in the right section.
Basically I have a DVR in my home. I want to be able to view the 1 camera that I have externally (from a different home)
I have managed to be able to view the camera internally on my network (the dvr is plugged into the BT HUB 3)
I did this by Advanced Settings>Port Forwarding>Supported Apps>
I was told by the Manifacturer of the DVR that the ports i needed to forward are 8234 to 8239
Does this look correct to you guys?
The DVR i have a is a Digital Sprite 2 PLUS. Ive turned the firewall off on the router settings as I thought that could be the problem. I can view the dvr internally as I said above using the DVR i.p 192.168.1.69 perfectly, but when I type in my external i.p via my other home it wont connect at all.
Could anybody help me as to what im doing wrong?
Thanks for any replys !

Need help with port forwarding an Avtech DVR
For some reason I can't get my Avtech DVR to work on my android phone on Avtech's Eagle Eyes app.
The camera/dvr comes up on wifi, but not on 4g. I am trying to get the port forwarding to work, but its not working. It says the ip address is not accesible.
The port for the dvr is 80. This is what I have. I thought it was correct?
I have a Westell 9100EM router.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Thought I'd post an update to this. I fixed it. I had to change ports on my dvr.

i am running a web and mail server from my home computer. i have port 25 and port 80 set to forward traffic to my webserver. port 80 works ok, but according to the linksys log, the linksys router is blocking port 25. My isp is not blocking any ports, and i can send mail from my mail server. how can I get the linksys router to stop blocking incoming port 25? my router setup is: linksys befw11s4 port forwarding: 80 to 80 25 to 25 upnp is enabled upnp forward smtp 25 tcp to port 25 192.168.X.X dmz is enabled for the server's ip.

First off, DISABLE the dmz!! That opens ALL ports to your pc, you dont want that.
Second, because you had the pc in the dmz tells me that the router is not blocking port 25, again, in the dmz all ports are open.
Disable upnp, it will just cause problems and you arent using it anyway.
Go to :

Click proceed, enter 25 in the box in the middle, then click user specified custom probe.
Does it show as stealth? -
Please help with Port Assignment issue!
I have 5 rack mount tone modules connected to a keyboard controller each on seperate midi channels and seperate ports (Controller: Port 1, Midi 1, Module #1: Port 2, Midi 2, Module #2: Port 3, Midi 3 etc).
Every time I chnge a port setting on one unit, it changes all of them on every track, so I get no audio output unless I manually assign each port whenever I want to play that track.
Please! how do I assign independent port settings to each channel????
ThanksYep, that's it, they were all running from the same "generic" external MIDI environment, switch one, they all switch.
I use a few external instruments and have a fairly well crafted environment I've developed over the past few years. -
Problem with Port Forwarding (when PPTP is up) in WRT-160N
Hi, everybody!
I'm looking for some help with Port Forwarding in my new router from Linksys. I've bought the router afew daysago, and was badly surprised when I found out that there is DD-WRT firmware is installed in it (the router was 100% NEW when I've purchased it). I have downloaded the latest original Linksys firmware file and successfully flashed it.
But I still have problem (same I had on DD-WRT firmware too) with port forwarding for my DC++ and Vuze (app for torrents): I've written port forward for ports 49151 (for Vuze) and 4000 (for DC++) to be forwarded to my desktop computer (IP 192.168.1.201) -- I've seen a post at this forum, that there could be a problem, if you forward to an IP, which is inside DHCP local zone, so I've forwarded it to .201 IP (my local DHCPzone is 192.168.1.100 - .149). But forwardind doesn't work ((
What's wrong?
My configuration:
Router IP: 192.168.1.1
PPTP (I've got it from my ISP)
IP address: 192.168.226.127
Default Gateway: 192.168.226.2
DNS 1: 192.168.1.1
DNS 2 & 3: 0.0.0.0
PPTP Server IP Address: 192.168.226.2
Username: ****
Password: ****
Single Port Forwarding:
Application name External port Internal port Protocol To IP address Enabled
Vuze 49151 49151 Both 192.168.1.201 Checked
DC 4000 4000 Both 192.168.1.201 Checked
Solved!
Go to Solution.As you have mentioned in your post that your ISP has provided you a PPTP connection with an IP address: 192.x.x.x. The IP address which is provided to you by your ISP is in a Private Range, and if you try to forward any ports on your router it will not work, as your ISP modem will block that port. So you need to get a Public IP address from your ISP.
As you are getting Private IP from your ISP, so this connection is called as NAT behind NAT, and your Modem is acting like a Router.
So now you have 2 options, get the Public IP address from your ISP or change the connection type. -

Quantum Gateway Port Forwarding issues
This post can be removed.... the port forwarding worked once I set it up under "Advanced Settings -> Network Settings ->Port Forwarding" instead of "Firewall -> Port Forwarding"
Hello,
I am having an issue setting up port forwarding. I have made several attempts to make port forward TCP 8096, but it continues not to work. I had it working with no problems at my with my old router before we moved so I know it's not an issue with my computer firewall or antivirus and MediaBrowser is working fine on the local network. Is anyone else experiencing Port Forwarding issues? Also when will DMZ be enabled on this gateway?
Any help would be apprciated. I'm trying to setup MediaBrowser so I can schedule recordings when i'm not at home.
Thanks!

Hi newb here , Can anyone help with Port Forwardin...
Hi guys
Newb here on Broadband Option 3 .
New to the world of BTorrents ( hope thats not a dirty word ) and just need some help on Port Forwarding with the Curved Blue Voyager ( latest one I think )
Problem is I can't seem to upload anything back and obviously I dont just wanna leech all the time lol
Thanks in advance
HFirst of welcome to BT Community Forums, although your in the help with speed/connection issues section and bit-torrent is nothing to do with BT but i'll still try to help.
downloading a torrent file is one thing but just because you download does'nt mean you need to upload anything if for example your downloading something with say 100 seeders and 15 leechers then you may find that you dont upload anything or very little, thats nothing to worry about at all.
Or
If you've made a torrent and cant figure out why its not uploading it may be due to the fact you need to upload the small torrent file to a p2p site in order for others to see it.
Hope this small insight into the world of torrents helps, but i dont know what else to tell you on this subject.
Kindest Regards

New Customer Experience with Port Forwarding
OK, so my OpenReach Modem and HomeHub 3 were installed last week and all seemed OK at first.
A bit of background:
I'm a seasoned IT guy and have a nice network set up at home that caters for my needs (most of the time).
Without going into too much detail, I have my own DHCP/DNS server and I run a Webserver for personal use.
I have Virgin Broadband - which work most of the time.
I've also just had BT Infinity installed so I should always have Internet access no matter which ISP is having issues.
I was hoping to be able to access my webserver externally from either my BT or Virgin. I didn't think this would be an issue.
It still all works fine through my Virgin connection. I use dynamic DNS (no-ip.org) to get to my server.
On the Virgin Superhub - I have DHCP switched off and all my machines (except one at the moment) get the Virgin router assigned as the Internet gateway (via my own DHCP server).
My test machine gets a the BT HomeHub 3 assigned as the Internet gateway (also from my own DHCP server) and I have switched off DHCP on Home Hub.
Before I move onto my issue, I have to say that the above network setup works flawlessly.
The Virgin Router is on 192.168.0.1, The Home Hub is on 192.168.0.2. (subnet 255.255.255.0)
They are on the same network but because DHCP it switched off on both routers - everything is happy.
I can access my Server from the Internet via my no-ip.org address and it all works great.
The issue:
I thought it would be relatively simple to configure the BT Home Hub 3 to access my server from the Internet.
Hmmm. Port Forwarding seems to be the issue. It just doesn't work reliably enough. Sometimes it works, then sometime it stops working. Right now it's not working.
At first I though it was just me, not configuring it correctly. But no.
Then I started reading this forum and found there are reports of issues with port forwarding going back a year.
I don't know if that a good or bad thing - an issue running that long must be on the verge of getting fixed right?
Or any issue running that long without resolution probably has no simple resolution or just isn't a priority (for BT) maybe.
My Question:
(and I think I already know the answer)
Has anyone got a sure fire way of configuring the HomeHub3 so the port forwarding works?
Or should I just throw in the towel now and buy a Dual Wan Router?
One last note:
This morning my Infinity Broadband Speed dropped from
38Mb down/6Mb Up (measured several times yesterday)
to
0.7Mb down/0.3Mb Up (yes those decimal points are in the right place)
And I haven't got a clue why.
I power cycled the HomeHub and it returned to normal. Does this happen to other people?
Cheers
Graeme.

the port on your network is defined by lan ip address and port number eg 192.168.1.10:80
you cannot forward this outbound port twice
There is no "port on my network" A port is associated with a IP address not a network.
My webserver listens an port 80 - requests from the Internet for http are port forwarded by the router (either BT Homehub or Virgin Superhub) to port 80 at address 192.168.0.5 (in my case).
If I am trying to access my webserver from the Internet, I point my browser at the WAN IP address of my router (again it doesn't matter which one - BT or Virgin) and the router port forwards the request to my Webserver. Each router can do this independently.
"you cannot forward this outbound port twice"
As explained above - It's an inbound port not an outbound port.
I appreciate you are trying to be helpful but just telling me something is not possible without explaining why its not possible doesn't really help me.
As I said before, this was working fine, then it stopped working but only when trying to access my webserver via the BT Router. It still works fine from my Virgin Router. I used WireShark and port mirroring on my switch to prove that the Home Hub as stopped port forwarding inbound traffic to my webserver.
This is a problem with port forwarding on the Homehub, not my network setup. Looking at other posts on this forum - I'd suggest I'm not the only one having problems.
To be honest, it's the least of my problems with the HomeHub right now. I'm far more concerned with the fact that twice today I've had to power cycle it because the throughput has dropped from 38Mbit-down/6Mbit-up to <1Mbit-down/<1Mbit-up. It's a known problem, BT are working on it, yet I still am paying full price for a product that should never had made it out of Beta test.

ActionTec + second router = port forwarding issue
I'm having an issue with port forwarding (or maybe routing) across a pair of routers with different subnets. I know just enough about networking to be dangerous, but I can't figure this out. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable here can assist me.
Here's how my network is currently setup:
1) Standard FIOS ActionTec MI424-WR Rev D router, using default 192.168.1.* subnet.
2) Added a second router (D-Link Wireless-N w/ Gigabit Ethernet) using the 192.168.2.* subnet.
3) A patch cable connects an ActionTec LAN port to the D-Link WAN port.
4) Most of my computers connect to the D-Link router for faster network speeds (desktop PC, NAS, etc.)
5) Both routers are running DHCP and broadcasting different SSIDs. This is so I can have a private network for my personal data (192.168.2.*) and a guest network (192.168.1.*) that friends/family/guests can use. Basically, from the 192.168.2.* network, I can access any network resource on either subnet; the 192.168.1.* network, however, cannot (easily) access the resources on the other subnet.
6) This setup works perfectly and has met all of my needs so far.
Now, the problem I'm running into:
I purchased a security camera to monitor my home over the internet while away. It is connected to the D-Link router and I can access the camera without issue while on the 192.168.2.* network. Everything works fine locally. However, I cannot access the camera from the internet. For sake of ease, let's use the following example setup:
Internet IP = 74.1.2.3
Router 1 = 192.168.1.1
Router 2 = 192.168.2.1
Camera = 192.168.2.2
Camera Port = 12345
Accessing the camera locally via http://192.168.2.2:12345 works fine, but accessing it remotely via http://74.1.2.3:12345 does not. I assume a route or port forward needs to be set on Router 1 (the FIOS ActionTec)? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-Patrick
Solved!
Go to Solution.For future viewers, I will throw this out there. You don't normally want two routers with two port forward rules. The best practice is to give the second router a static ip on the lan of the first router and then put the second router in the dmz of the first router, and then apply port forward uses to the dmz'd router.

Home Hub 3 Port Forwarding Issue - Question to BT
Question to BT
Hello i have recently joined BT Infinity and have hit the issue of the Port Forwarding not working. My HH3 is on the following version of software. Will this version automatically upgrade to the latest version of firmware and will this fix my port forwarding issue?
As i work in IT (Cisco Network Eng) i need to be able to access several devices/services at home and this is a real pain for me. If you think that this could drag on as some posts have indicated could you please let me know and i will either get a draytek or throw in a cisco 1841.
Thank you
