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
Dean.

Hi Dean
By the look of it you've got the type B version of the HH3 with current firmware.
From http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/13073
The latest versions of the firmware are:

BT Home Hub Port Forwarding, Device Not Listed

Hi Guys,
It's quite a simple one really but it has me totally stumped. I've been trying to open a couple of ports recently, for games etc and I know how all this port forwarding stuff works, but recently I had hard drive issues and had to re-install windows etc, all the usual **bleep**. Since then though, when trying to forward a port in the hub manager (I have BT Home Hub 2), my device doesn't appear in the drop down list, neither the physical hexadecimal address nor the name I assigned to the machine! My Xbox, Iphone and my dads laptops are all on the list... just not the machine I'm using right now, even though its wired up by ethernet cable and I'm using the hub for the internet to get onto this website right now! -.-
Any help is appreciated!

Hi Anonymoose and welcome
Try power cycling the hub (turn it off and on) with your device connected and see if it then appears on the list.

Iplanet/Servlet Forwarding Issue/Question

Scenario:
A directory is protected using Iplanet web server access control (Iplanet Directory Server). User accesses the directory and enters valid user name and password. User is authenticated OK. The file is then posted to a servlet which does a forward to another page in the same directory. The page is not displayed due to a problem with authentication. Code to forward is as follows:
getServletConfig().getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher(response.encodeURL(pageName)).forward(request,response);
I check request.getUserPrincipal().getName() and
request.getRemoteUser(). The first returns the username that iWS is running under, the second returns
null. Is there a correct way of doing this to avoid the forward from failing.

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!

WRTU54G-TM Port Forward issues, DHCP server disabled but still gives out addresses

I've seen other posts about port-forwarding issues. I've had to hard-reset the device twice in 2 months to clear this up.
One issue that I can't figure out at all is that the DHCP server gives out addresses when it is set to disabled. This is a problem because it gives out the public DNS servers, which will not resolve addresses on my LAN. Anyone else seen this?
Anyone had success putting this router behind a better one and still getting the phone SIM to register and work?

Have you tried to upgrade the firmware on your Router?
Click Download the latest firmware for your Router and save the Firmware file on your Desktop.
Once you Download the firmware for your Router, Now you need to login to the Router setup page and click on the "Administration" tab and below click on "Firmware Upgrade" and then click on the Browse Button and select the firmware file and click on Upgrade.
Once the firmware is upgraded successfully then you need to Reset your Router and Re-configure all the settings on your Router from scratch.

Xbox 360: How To Open Your BT Home Hub Ports!

If you use a BT Home Hub and Xbox Live, you may need to open ports for a better connection, even if your NAT tests as Open. Some issues that this will fix:
Friends list Voice chat
Joining friends list games
Joining some games such as Call of Duty 3 (could not connect to all players error), or host in some games such as Gears of War.
I suggest backing up your router's settings after you make these changes if it works for you, and maybe before you start in case you mess something up!
1. First lets reset our BT Home Hub to its factory settings:Link
2. Go into your BT Home Hub and disable UPnP
Go to http://bthomehub.home
Click on Settings
Log in with your Hubs defult Admin password.
Click on Advanced Settings.
Click on Continue to advanced settings.
Click on Applications Sharing.
Click on UPnP.
Turn UPnP off and click apply.
UPnP
Universal Plug and Play. Great Idea. Not so good in the real world. In theory, you should disable UPnP if you set up forwarding rules. The purpose of UPnP is to automatically detect the ports that need to be opened, and open them for you. Unfortunately it doesn't always do it as efficiently as you could do it yourself. On the other hand sometimes a router with forwarding rules set up seems to connect better with UPnP enabled. Toggle both ways, remember to reboot the router after any changes you make. CONCLUSION ABOUT UPnP: Disable it before the first time you ever turn on your 360.
3. Lets make our Xbox IP address is static:
In your 360's dashboard, go to the "System" blade and select "Network Settings", and then click "Edit Settings". You're now in the "Basic Settings" screen.
Select the "IP settings" section. (later you'll also have to adjust the "DNS Settings" section right below it.). Change it from Automatic to Manual. You'll have to change all three things listed here:
IP Address
Subnet Mask
Gateway
Make the IP address about 20 numbers higher for the last three digits. For example, if your IP address is 192.168.0.101, you can use 192.168.0.121
What numbers do I use?
a) You can simpily write them down from the xboxes dashboard while you have it set to automatic.
b) You can get this info from your PC. Go to start>>Run>>cmd. Now in the DOS interface, type ipconfig. The DNS is the same number as your gateway.
When you entered all three items, click "done" and it will prompt you to do an Xbox Live test. You will fail it, but you have to test to continue (You can cancel the test before it ends).
Now hit done again and back out to the Basic Settings, and select the DNS settings section, right under the IP Settings section. Change from Automatic to Manual. You only need to enter the Primary DNS server, leave the Secondary DNS server the way it is (blank). For the DNS server, you're going to use whatever you used for the Gateway.
That's it. Now back out, do an xbox live test (otherwise it won't save) and you'll probably still get a moderate or strict NAT, or even Open. But even if it tests as open, that doesn't mean your ports are open. But it's a good sign.
4. Open Your Ports
Portforward.com is an excellent resource for this information. Select your BT Home Hub, next follow the tutorials to open the ports for Xbox live etc and the games you play!

glad you solved your problem

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

Home Hub 3 Speed Issue

Some 6 weeks ago I had an issue with losing my internet connection completly, and eventually after a long session with the help desk I magaged to reconnect using the direct port on the main phone socket. However since then I have had a speed issue and Ive been only getting speeds in the order of 2.3Mb.
However running the BT speed test tells me that the connection to my Home Hub 3 is running at 8.13Mb, but the connection to my computer is running at 2.18Mb.
I have tried every thing I can think of. Followed all the advice to improve the connection but nothing works. Reseting the Home Hub, reseting the factory defaults. I've closed down every program running in the background, disconnected the rest of the hardwired network, fitted a new shorter cat 6 cable. All to no avail. The speed still stays firmly at 2.18 to 2.15. down and 0.37 up.
Could their be a fault with my Home Hub?
Thaks for any advice.

Bit Torrent port forwarding issue and DNS resoluti...

Good morning comunity!
Something odd has happened and I was hoping for some further guidance as I'm not sure what my next steps are.
Background
I have uTorrent running on a a machine that accesses a private RSS feed of torrents I am watching. The client sees a new file posting and automaticlly downloads the .torrent file then proceeds to download the main file itself.
When I had BT installed back on 23 Decemeber I set up port forwarding to this machine, using a static IP, and there were no connection issues.
What has happened
The previous evening as I was going to bed I checked the machine and the active torrents and all my files were sitting at 0 connections for connected seeds & peers. Meaning that uTorrent wasn't able to see anyone to conenct to.
My Troubleshooting
After seeing the above I began checking my connections and set up on the router as well as the machine. uTorrent has within its preferences a port checking utility for its assinged port and that was showing no open connection. I then logged in to my HH4 and verifed my port forwarding rules: nothing had changed there.
I removed and re-added the rules, turned off UPNP as well as turned it on with no success. And during the process of adding the rule back into the system I recieved an error stating that the port was already assigned even though at that moment there were no active assignments. So I changed port numbers and the issue went away.
I then went to chack the private torrent site and the page would not display. Then went to Down For Everyone Or Just Me to check the site as well and it was reported as being up. I loaded my VPN connection to bypass BT's network and I was able to visit the site. Logged back out and did a trace and the trace reported to route to the site. Changed my DNS to Google's DNS setting and was able to access the site.
Where I am now
My torrent machine is now running via the VPN but it's not the best connection in the world as changing the DNS there did not resolve the torrent connection issue.
Does anyone, especially you folkd familar with BT and their practices, have reccomendations as to what to try next or what the issue may be?

A lot of torrent sites are starting to be blocked. Its possible the site in question is being blocked by BT(They have no choice in this as its being forced onto them by a court order same for most of the other big ISPs). If its being blocked you would still be able to access via a VPN so long as thats not being blocked too. In terms of what you can do about it not much other than keep using the VPN.

Actiontec MI424WR rev I port forwarding issue.

Within the last month, all of my wireless security cameras as well as my Directv DVR have stopped responding to remote access. All of the cameras work fine when directly connected to an e-net cable. I have checked all the settings on the router and they have not changed. I then tried to check the ports assigned to the cameras and found that they are all reported as CLOSED by two different internet port checkers. However, these same port checkers report eveything closed on this router., but my browser, email, remote desktop all work ok. Before I tear any more hair out, can some one have pity on an old fart and tell me what I have overlooked????

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I had a session with a VZW tech who in turn brought an Actiontec tech on the line. What we did was to delete all of the current camera rules and reinstall them. Everything now works. ?????
THe one remaining issue regards the port checkers that show all the well known ports closed. We never came up with an answer to that. But they are not stopping anything from working. One other item regarding the camera ports. If the camera is not on for some reason, then the port will show that it is closed...

Not that I have an answer for your question but misery always loves company.
The prior firmware update for the Actiontec knocked out the automatic update using DynamicDNS.
The 10/31 update fixed the problem of updating DynamicDNS however it seems to have done something to port forwarding.
Prior to the last two updates of the Actiontec's firmware I used to be able to run an FTP server on a USB drive connected to a router double NATed behind the Actiontec. I was also able to remotely access certain devices using port forwarding from the Actiontec. Not working anymore.
Based on your problem I think it is a firmware issue with the Actiontec and there may be nothing that can be done until the next firmware update.

Time Capsule: Port Forwarding Issue and DHCP with Westell 6100g Modem

Ok two issues as of right now, but more down the road i think... Anyways, number one, i would like to be able to backup my computer using time machine and my time capsule.. Right now it works properly when inside the local network, was wondering if there was a way to backup when outside the network... i travel a lot and always have my macbook pro with me.. Also, i have a USB hard drive connected to the usb port on back of time capsule but its not showing up anywhere... is that only for printers??? that's not such a big deal, but would be nice to have access to that hard drive from multiple computers... OK so part two of my issues is, i have a WESTELL 6100g modem for DSL verizon service, which is crappy, but that's besides the point, it is a modem/router, so i have the time capsule connected directly to that westell.. the westell only has one Ethernet port, so that's wired to time capsule and then my computers are connected wirelessly and wired through the capsule. It seems that the westell is distributing the IP's and is controlling the port forwarding and what not.. I have tried a few things to give control to the time capsule but that didnt work.. i followed these directions on the web page http://www.dslreports.com/faq/vz/4._Hardware#13600 but it didnt work properly, i couldn't log onto the web at all.. Maybe im doing something wrong.... Anyways, what i really want to do is control everything that the westell is controlling right now with the time capsule... i want to give out IP's and also control port forwarding with the capsule.. Any way of getting that accomplished would be AWESOME... I'm somewhat intelligent when it comes to computers so i should understand everything you are talking about... please help!!!

If you have Back to my Mac (available online service from Apple's MobileMe), then you can perform the following actions with your Time Capsule remotely,
1. Remote disk access to both the Time Capsule disk and a compatible disk connected via the Time Capsule's USB ports.
2. Remote configuration.
Also, i have a USB hard drive connected to the usb port on back of time capsule but its not showing up anywhere... is that only for printers???
Printer, hub, or compatible disk.

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,

Solved!

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.

WRT610N Port Forwarding Issues

Hello I am attempting to port forward the WRT610n however I am currently having no luck at all, here are the details of how the network is set up
It is a WRT610N model ver2.0 router with a Siemens Speedstream 4201 router (connected by full bridge mode via ethernet)
DHCP reservation is on (with the computer reserved to an IP I want to port forward to)
I have tried using DMZ as well as Port Range Forwarding, disabling/enabling UPNP, turning off home network defender, using QoS in various ways, SPI firewall being disabled/enabled, Filter Anonymous Internet Requests disabled
Is there anything else I can try (I am able to provide more details if necessary)
The error I am actually getting is "error: connection refused"

Both Internet IP address (under status page and What Is My IP are the same)
Since I am running linux, I will post my ifconfig
Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0F:EA:8CC:AB

Here are the settings for my port range forwarding (I tried the same for single port forward)
49164-49164 Protocol (BOTH) 192.168.1.103 for IP destination (and its obviously enabled)
I test the forwarding of ports using various websites (http://www.canyouseeme.org/, http://www.utorrent.com/testport?port=49164)

WRT1900 Port Forward Issue

Im hoping this can be resolved quickly. Last night I found out my NAT on xbox one is set to moderate.
And I am having trouble following port forward quides.
I reserved a DHCP for my xbox one in network map and seemed to switch to Open NAT not sure if this fixed the party issue I was having earlier.
Moving on if I am to forward the ports do I go to port range forwarding and use the IP address reserved from the network map?
Essentially is a static IP and a reserved DHCP the same thing?

Try to disable the dlink camera then try to use the websites like: www.mydomainname.com, www.mydomainname.com:81, www.mydomainname.com:80, and others to see where they are getting directed.
Second let me know the IP address of NAS, Web Server and the Camera..As well as try to disable the UpnP in the Router web UI..
