Home Hub 3 Port Forwarding (NOT)

Hello World
Ok recived the New Home Hub 3 today, ahead of my Infinity install.
I thought ok lets replace Trusty Home Hub 2 with the 3 as it works both on Std ADSL and Infinity
Super Quick UI and love the GIG port BUT and its a BIGGY (well for ME) !
THe hub is running 4.7.5.1.83.8.48 (TypeA) lastest and greatest, Upnp does work so Xbox works no prob and it can be seen in the FW Log being setup
BUT if you configure port forwarding by hand ie HTTP to 192.168.0.2 DOESNT WORK !!!
I tried using a connected device to forward to and just the IP address BOTH FAIL !
roll back in trusty Hub2 and all work again !
Phoned in and was told after a few minutes on hold (No Problem) to roll back to Home Hub 2 and there should be a Firmware upgrade for the 3 soon to fix this issue.
So now you know if you try it and it doesnt work
Giz
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Similar situation here.
I received HomeHub 3 this week. Overall, I am pretty satisfied with the new router. The local networking feels quicker due to the gigabit port (connected to gigabit switch). And the wifi reception is better probably due to the intelligent channel selection.
Similarly, I tried to replicate settings from my old HomeHub 2. I wasn't able to setup port forwarding.
The problem is the router in inaccessible using the external IP address.
I contacted BT Broadband Help desk. I spoke to 2 operators. First told me he would investigate and call me back. Never did. Second told me they were untrained to deal with this sort of queries and suggested speaking to the BT Subscription help line.
So, now I know thanks to you. Waiting anxiously for the patch. Hope it will be out soon.

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.

RV215W router port forwarding not working

RV215W router port forwarding not working.
Port forwarding works for a short period of time, then stops working. Reboot router, works again for short period of time, then stops again.
I have updated firmware to latest. I had seen other similar bugs posted for 220 and I think 180, not sure if this router has similar bugs and waiting for fix release to firmware.
I had recently purchased two, one deployed, will hold off on other now because of issues, and may have to move to different unit if a resolution not found this week.

It's not just single port forwarding that has bugs, the entire router has bugs and simply does not work as advertised. I have found the following bugs/aspects of this router that just does not work correctly: 1. If you have to open ports, and who doesn’t, this router will eventually stop accepting packets from WAN>LAN. You will still have Internet access but no open ports. A reboot will fix this problem. Oh, by the way, this router has no scheduled reboot option! <--That would be a workaround but a welcome one for this router. 2. Firewall Access rules do not work!! Yep, a Cisco router and basic functionality simply does not work. I called Cisco and even though the tech saw the router not working denied it was a bug! Said we have to do port mirroring, setup a workstation with WireShark and capture packets so we can debug the issues. That would take several hours. I told him I would have appreciated if Cisco would have debugged the issues with their router BEFORE they shipped the units. Stay away from Cisco Small Business Routers. I wish I had. And if there are any Cisco die-hards out there willing to prove me wrong, just reply to this and please, prove me wrong that the RV series and specifically the RV215W is not JUNK.

Port Forwarding not working on new Home Hub 4

Hi all,
I'm trying to get port forwarding going on a new Home Hub 4, specifically so I can access my Netgear Stora through its web interface on my LAN.
I've set the rules in port forwarding for the following ports:
Port 80 is HTTP Server
Port 443 is HTTPS Server
Port 21 is FTP Server
Port 22 is SSH Server
All these are now open and connect to Stora, which has an address supplied by DHCP.
However, when I check with various online port checkers, none of the ports are open and checking the trouble shooting logs of the BT Home Hub shows that the connection is being rejected. This is a sample of the message that is shown:
IN: ACCEPT [57] Connection closed (Port Forwarding: TCP 192.168.1.69:22 <-->86.141.184.236:22 [184.72.89.72:42894] CLOSED/TIME_WAIT ppp1 NAPT)
What can I do to make port forwarding work? I can't change the IP address of the Stora as I need to get into it via its web interface to do that.
I can navigate directly through Explorer to the files on the Netgear Stora NAS but not through the web interface.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

i think by applying a static DNS i got it working, not 100% sure yet. edit: yep that worked, everyone can connect once again.

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

Router Port Forwarding not working since Mavericks

I have an iMac sat behind a BT Home Hub 3 (an ADSL router, if you're not aware), with several ports (POP3, SSH, HTTP, etc) from the outside world forwarded via the hub to my Mac. Since installing Mavericks (from Snow Leopard), NONE of these ports are now open.
They're open on the Mac, and another machine on my home network can use them locally, but from outside the network, they're hidden. Shields Up shows them as Stealth.
Things I've tried:
Rebooting everything.
Setting the Home Hub up again, forwarding all the ports again.
Turning all the sharing off in Mavericks and then back on.
Trying the same services on different ports.
Trying different services.
Turning off the Mac firewall.
Turning off the router firewall.
Trying the Mac on another IP address and reforwarding everything to the new one.
Putting the Mac in the DMZ.
I can forward ports to other devices on my network (e.g. my NAS) and they work fine, so port forwarding isn't completely broken on the router
Here's the thing though...
On a completely separate network, on a separate Mac (a 2012 MacBook Pro) that went from Mountain Lion to Mavericks, also behind a BT Home Hub 3, EXACTLY the same thing is happening. No ports can be forwarded to the MacBook Pro, but all the ports are open to the local network.
Any ideas? I'm pretty sure this must be a bug in Mavericks as I can't see anything else it can be.

It's not just single port forwarding that has bugs, the entire router has bugs and simply does not work as advertised. I have found the following bugs/aspects of this router that just does not work correctly: 1.

HH3 Type B port forwarding not working.

Hi there.
I have searched absolutely everywhere for a solution to my problem before posting here. Basically port forwarding isn't working at all on my HH3 Type B router.
I've read all about the problems people have had with the Type A's but as far as I see nobody seems to have a problem with the Type B in regards to port forwarding or loopback.
I've set up port fowarding on many different routers with many different ISP's so I don't think it's something I'm doing, or rather, not doing but you never know.
These are the steps I take when setting up port forwarding:
Firstly setting up my static IP (obviously only needed to be done once) which I've chosen one outside of the routers DHCP range as I've always done in the past. Then I open the router screen, go to Settings / Advanced Settings / Port Forwarding / Supported Applications and click "Add new game or application".
I then enter a name, change "Copy existing game or application" to "No", and then change the "Protocol" to UDP or TCP as needed (also have tried using "Any" too with no luck). Next add a "Port Range" for example 12345 - 12345 then add "Translate To" 12345 - 12345 (port ranges obtained from portforward.com per application) then click "Add" and repeat for additional ports as needed.
Once that is all done, click "Apply" then go to Port Forwarding / Configuration or go to Home Network, select the applicable device and choose the newly added application from the "Port Forwarding" drop down list (and choose applicable device if doing it from Port Forwarding / Configuration). Click "Add" once application is selected.
Add additional applications where needed then finally click "Apply" to store the forwarded ports.
Close router page and port forwarding should be fully setup and working.
That's basically how I would do it anyway, but I also checked on portforward.com and it says pretty much the same and on these forums as well as a few other sites and I see nothing different but port forwarding still isn't working.
In my router "Event Log" it does show "The Port Forwarding entry of [xxx.xxx.x.xx] has been added or modified.".
My Firmware version is V100R001C01B036SP03_L_B. Last updated 19/05/13.
I have no firewall on my pc and the one enabled on the router is set to default but have also tried disabling it. Have tried enabling DMZ as suggested in various places with no luck and have tried changing UPnP settings again with no luck.
So if anybody has any suggestions I am all ears because this is bugging me so much as there are a few applications and games that require port forwarding and are pretty useless without it really.
Thank you.

If you follow the instructions on this page, it should work. Please see note about CG-NAT.

HH5 port forwarding not working !!

I have recently moved to BT Infinity, all was good. Installed my Synology DS212 with its previous working configuration and it worked fine for several days (have all the logs)
The incoming backup started failing and upon investigation it appears that port 873 is no longer available. This has been established with ShieldsUP and canyouseeme.org
I have tested other ports shown as ok on the ShieldsUp report and they, such as port:6690 (Synology Cloud), work correctly when entered into the hub via advanced settings.
There are no issues with Dynamic DNS. Each modification has been saved and to be sure I have rebooted the hub after each one.
Simply is this problem caused by:
The firmware update BT Home Hub 5 (Type A) | Software version 4.7.5.1.83.8.173.1.6 | Last updated 18/04/14
A change in BT's port blocking policy.
Accidental blocking of ports by BT.

An update
Have since been in contact with a BT support supervisor after much wrangling with the first line support. Finally after much re iteration of the status and tests I had repeatedly done and tested I was informed that it was an update error that may be fixed in the future. However I was told that by implementing my own router I would be able to access the ports needed. Having now purchased a Draytek 2860n and set it up on a different broadband connection with the same equipment and tested it I moved it onto my BT Infinity, changed the connection and gateway to match and, yes you are there before me, the ports are no longer available. Not only are BT either blocking or 'throttling' the service ports they are too ashamed or ignorant to come clean.

E4200 port forwarding not working (v1 1.0.05)

Hi there.
I'll try not to rant too much, but I've had nothing but problems with this 'supposed' high end router... and when I tried calling Cisco I got the old yee-ha to cough up $30 for tech support on a $200 router I got 10 months ago (/rant).
Anyway, following several speed drop issues with my router, I factory reset about 5 times. I later read in the internetz that QoS on these routers was causing the speed to fall to half no matter what settings are used, so I disabled QoS. This time I seem to have steady speeds, but no port forwarding method I use works! Used to work fine, but now Single PF, PF Range or anything else I can think of fails miserably. Even DMZ can't seem to open ports...
I am extremely disappointed in this router and please, don't advise me to factory reset: I've tried, it doesn't work and quite frankly I have way too many devices to painfully reconnect to not send me over the edge.
Please, if anyone has any idea what's going on, your help is more than welcome.
Thanks

My setup is pretty simple: a Docsys3 modem through my ISP, piped to my Cisco E4200, and a few computers and devices connected to that, all on the same level (no switch or hub).
To my knowledge the modem doesn't filter or route anything, and I don't need to login or connect to my ISP - cable internet with direct filtering on the modem. I might have missed something but here is a question: if I open a port, will it show open even if there is no application to "receive" the connection? I'm asking because I'm starting to wonder if my server might be a bit fussy...?
To protect your router against possible DNS Rebinding Attacks, certain actions will not work from behind a router. Typically, doing this is for testing purposes. What you can do to test if a certain application (port forward) works remotely, is to do it from outside your network.
To test this functionality, this must be done from the outside of the router (remote area). This includes even if the “Filter anonymous Internet requests” is unchecked.

Port Forwarding not working (PLEASE HELP!)

I have been trying to port forward a Minecraft server for fun, however the port will not open no matter how many times I try. Here's what I've been doing: Enter 192.168.1.1 in browser and log in. Once on the home screen -> advanced -> port forwarding rules -> add port -> tcp -> any source -> single destination: 25565 (default port for a Minecraft server) -> add port -> udp -> any source -> single destination: 25565 -> apply -> fire wall settings -> typical security -> port forwarding -> select my computer I am on -> select the port forward I had previously created -> add -> resolve now & apply. The status shows as active, but when I use a site like checkmyports.net, it states that the port is closed.Is anyone else having port forwarding issues? What's the problem? Did I miss something? Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.Do you have an application on the internal device that is listening on port 25565? Port will only report as open if there is a listening appliaction on the port on the destination device. Try something simple that we know works e.g. remote desktop which uses port 3389Enable remote desktop on your computer - typically right mouse click my computer, select properties, select remote settings, select remote, select Allow connections any version.now logon to router select firewall settingsselect port forwardingspecify ip address of your machineselect Remote Desktop from services - will show tcp any -> 3389 udp any -> 3389select addselect apply Now try checkmyport.net and test port 3389If it doesn't show as open then it sounds like a firewall issue In either case you'll probably want to go back in and turn off remote desktop access unless you really want to access your machine from the outside. let us know the results.

BT Home Hub 5 does not connect to internet - red f...

Hello,
We recently switched from BT broadband to BT Infinity 2, on Thursday the 11th to be exact, but our Hub 5 cannot connect to the internet.
The story goes as this:
- The 11th was the last day of our broadband and the day of activation of BT Infinity
- The engineer came at one to set everything up at 1pm
- When he finished our laptops connected to the Hub but the speed was very slow. We told the engineer and he said that it is indeed extremely slow for Infinity (6,4Mb) and although some customers do report slower speeds not as slow as that.
- Late in the afternoon we lost connection completely and a red flashing light was on
- At 9.30pm I received a text saying out BT Infinity is now live
- Red flashing light has been on since then. I turned it off and on again, reset it, restored it to the original settings. Once it goes on, the green light flashes, then the blue light comes on for 15 seconds, and then the red light starts flashing. The red 'b' comes on from time to time too.
- Last night I went to my Hub page and checked the Information page. The information that looked troubling is:
1. Product name:             BT Home Hub
2. Serial number:              +068343+NQ43237799
3. Firmware version:       Software version 4.7.5.1.83.8.173.1.6 (Type A) Last updated Unknown
4. Board version:              BT Hub 5A
5. ADSL uptime:                0 days, 00:54:54
6. Bandwidth:    1044 / 7434
7. Data sent/received:   0.0 MB / 0.0 MB
- It does not look like an infnity connection. I checked the hub again, tested the line etc. I even connected my old Hub 4 which is not working. It actually does the same thing my BT Hub 5 does, green first, blue for 15 seconds and the red flashing light.
- I called BT today. I told them everything I noticed it. All they said, it looks fine from our end, the internet was activated, but yes we can see there is a problem. We will send an engineer.
From what I can see the only reason we had internet on Thursday was because our broadband was still live. That will explain the really slow speed. Once we switched to Infinity no connection. The Hub page shows a very limited bandwith and ADSL...? Shouldn't ADSL actually be VDSL?
Can anyone please help? The engineer is coming, but I have very little faith that the matter will be resolved. Especially after the first one said everything looked ok, but call BT for the slow speed. And when I called BT it felt like someone was just reading a script.
Would the problem be our wiring? Or would BT not have switched something on?
Thank you
Evi

can you enter your phone number and post results remember to delete number https://www.btwholesale.com/includes/adsl/main.html
you would be betetr waiting on engineer visit and see it he can fix your connection and if not then post back and maybe mods will help

Port Forwarding not working correctly (BTHomeHub 2...

I recently picked up the new Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 for my pc. Playing online mathes works fine, however trying to join with my friends and connect with them for co-op fails to work. My NAT setting in game was listed as strict and my friends (both on BT) had moderate so I assumed it had to do with that.
After some research, I found out I had to forward ports to my PC which I've done but yet the game still refuses to connect. Sometimes I get lucky and, after forwarding the ports, I load up the game to be shown NAT: Open and I'm able to join my friends quickly, but after about one minute the game disconnects and my setting changes back to Strict.
Now my problem is either one of two things:
a) My ports are opening but are closing after a minute or two.
b) Something is wrong with my router.
It should also be noted that one of my friends actually had his NAT setting turn to Strict but he was easily able to forward his ports and get NAT open again. I copied exactly what he did and it didn't work. If it helps, I've also tried setting my computer up with a static IP and port forwarding to the exact IP address I set and not the device name, which still didn't work.
Thank you for any and all help. I really hope I can get this sorted soon.

Port forwarding is not likely to be the issue, there are many posts regarding NAT( Network Address Translation) issues, all over the Internet.
Here are some examples from this forum.
http://community.bt.com/t5/forums/searchpage/tab/message?filter=location&location=forum-board%3AOthe...
If you look at my port forwarding help page, there is an address you can go to to see if a port is still open. Just choose any one of the port numbers associated with your game, and see if it still shows as open.

Port Forwarding not working after 7.7.1 Firmware update

I bought the new 6th generation Airport Extreme today, and after I set it up, everything worked great. I have a VoIP phone that needs to have traffic on port 5060 forwarded to it, and that worked just fine as well.
However, I then updated to the 7.7.1 firmware, and the port forwarding stopped working. I tried a hard reset of the Airport and re-entered all the settings, but it still didn't work. I spent about 30 minutes on the phone with 2 Apple support people who tried hard, but couldn't help. They also couldn't find a way to download the 7.7 firmware, so there was no way to downgrade. They suggested I go back to the store and exchange it for another one, which I did, and now it all works again.
Has anyone else had issues with port forwarding on 7.7.1? I'm just wondering how I'll ever be able to update the firmware, since failure means having to get a new Airport.

Huh,
turns out the problem went away with another restart of the Mac Mini. I'm still uneasy about it though, as I do not understand how it went from working to not-working over night in the first place. But, at least for now, the problem seems gone.
Thanks for commenting.

Home Hub 5 - does not seem to broadcast 2.4ghz ban...

Hi, I have Infinity with a HH5 and have been having wireless connection problems with certain devices (mobile, laptop WiFi radio). Following recommendations I have performed a factory reset and set both bands to now have separate SSID's. Nothing I have can see the 2.4ghz band (even my 5ghz devices which I assume are dual band). My Blackberry Curve 9360 is only 2.4ghz so cannot connect. I have manually entered the 2.4ghz settings into more than one device but that does not work either. I fired up a Home Hub 2 and that gets seen. Any ideas anyone??
Thanks in advance, Graham.

2.4GHz disappearing on HH5 has been onging for many users for some time:-

BT is (or should be) aware of the problem, so we just have to wait for a solution.

RVS4000 Port Forwarding not working

I am trying to forward ports through my RVS4000 however I have been unable to get it to work.
I have enabled the firewall and set the ports mapping to the correct address and enabled them, however I can't reach any devices.
All advice gratefully received :>)
NM

When troubleshooting Port forwarding on any device we use tools like Nmap on a outside machine looking in at your network, and http://www.canyouseeme.org/ to see if on the server or device you are using if the outside world can see the ports open. There is no known bug or issue with port forwarding on this device as long as you are on the latest firmware. If Nmap and canyouseeme is not showing the ports open you need to look at the internal workings of the network. I.E. does the same ports work on the inside of your network, second is what is between the RVS4000 and the Internet. Other routers or switches, Modem, and ISP. We have seen everyone of the previous devices block ports. When using Nmap or canyouseeme the ports should be open.
Do you have a topology of your network and what ports you are trying to port forward?
