Hooking "SlingBox" to WRT54gs...port forwarding...

I have had wireless network for about two years and have had no problems...but I need to hook a ling Box Pro" to it so my nephew in Yemen can access a Tivo I have hooked to the net work..
Sling box tells me I have to do "port forwarding" I have serched for "sling box" and "port forwarding" on this site and have got no returns...
Does anybody have any idea how I can do this hook up so it will broadcast remotely over the internet???
Any help will be appreciated,
Thanks,
Hefs

hi Hefs, try following steps...
first off you need to assign a static IP address on slingbox according to DHCP server of the router, if router is running on 192.168.1.1, sling box should have 192.168.1.10 subnetmask 255.255.255.0 and default gateway 192.168.1.1...logon to router's setup page, open I.E. and in the address bar type 192.168.1.1 it would ask for username and password, put "admin" (default password) as a password without any username...try reducing MTU to 1365, click on "applications and gaming" >> port range forwarding >> under the application put "slingbox" start port should be 5001 and end port is 5001, protocol should be both and put the IP address of slingbox which you've assigned, check the check box and save the settings...also make sure that you have latest firmware installed on the router...let me know the results.

WRT54G Port forwarding not working

Ok this is an odd problem. Ever since I got this router I have had issues with the port forwarding.
I am forwarding 3389 TCP to 192.168.1.101 check box is enabled. The .101 address is given out by DHCP ( only set to give out 4 IPs). The forwarding did not work at all. I have configured dozens and doezens of routers with no issues except this one . It is Version 8. After a lot of reading on the net someone posted a similar issue where they could not forward ports to static IP addresses ONLY IP's given out in the DHCP range. Strange? yes you bet. So I decided to try it and sure enough I changed my 2 internal computer IP's to use DHCP and forwarded the ports to the IP of the computer I wanted ( 192.168.1.101) and it worked! How silly is that, it wouldn;t forward to static IP's. Well now the problem is back. Except this time if I forward to static IP's OR IP's given out in DHCP nothing works. As a test I moved the .101 computer into the DMZ and still nothing. This is beyond annoying. problem is this is sitting at a clients house in another city and I only have access to it via the web admin. I tried backing up the configuration and then restoring it. The restore worked but didn't fix my issue. I still can't get the forwarding to work. Resetting the defaults is not really an option cause I am not in the same city as the router.
I have about 7 other SMC routers that have been working happily for 5 years straights. Why is this thing so mental? I did upgrade to the latest firmware before installing the router. Ayone have any suggestions as to why the forward doesn't work?.
By the way I enabled the logs and watch them as I was trying to remote into the computer ( 3389) and sure enough it's hitting the router ok as it shows up in the logs. The web server is not working either, nothing is getting forwarded.
No there are no firewalls at all installed on the computer I am trying forward to. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Access router setup page ...uncheck block WAN request under security tab .... also check the updated firmware on the router ....

PLEASE HELP i have trouble with WRT54G port forwarding with linksys

Hello guys, i play a game called populous, and since im on a router i cannot host the game, when i used to have a d-link all i would do is have to set up the port to my ip with the udp. but ever since i have swiched to linksys that doesnt work, the ip on my portforwaring is the same as the one on my computer the port is correct and the udp is set, i also have no fire walls on and it still doesnt make a differance, Someone in the game suggested that there is a local ip i need to get? is that true or is there another setting i need to set up in my router page?
PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN <3<3 thanks

Yes that happens if you write replies to your own posts. Many regulars here only answer their "own" topics (i.e. to which they have answered before) and new ones which don't have replies, yet. If you write a reply to your own topic chances are your are not read unless during some random browsing...
Regarding your problem it is impossible to say anything unless you give the exact settings you have on your router. Please post the full settings you have for port forwardings, port triggering and DMZ. If you have UPnP forwarding in your router (I don't think you have) post those settings, too.
Otherwise I suggest this checklist for troubleshooting port forwardings.

WRT54G Port Forwarding

Hi. I recently called linksys and set my router up to have an open NAT on my xbox 360. They had me manually enter my network settings on my xbox. I accidently erased the settings and i cant figure out what they were or how to set them up again. I have noticed a considerable loss of speed when playing online. I called linksys again but my warranty ran out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Here are the settings which you can set on your XBOX as well as on your Router and this will open the NAT on your XBOX.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page.In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 Leave the username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
Click on "Applications and Gaming" tab and then click on "Port Range Forwarding" subtab...
1) On the first line in Application box type in ABC, in the start box type in 53 and End box type in 53, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box...
2) On the second line in Application box type in PQR, in the start box type in 88 and End box type in 88, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box...
3) On the third line in Application box type in XYZ, in the start box type in 3074 and End box type in 3074, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box and click on Save Settings...
4) Once you return to the set up page click on the Security tab and uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...
5) Click on set-up and change the MTU Size to 1452 and click Save Settings...
6) Goto the XBox Network Settings and IP Address Settings and select manual IP Settings and assign the following on your Xbox IP Address :- 192.168.1.20, Subnet Mask :- 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway :- 192.168.1.1...
7) Also assign the DNS Addresses on the Xbox Primary dns :- 4.2.2.2...Secondary dns :- 192.168.1.1
8) Turn off your modem, router, and Xbox...Wait for a minute...
9) Plug the modem power first, wait for another minute and plug the router power cable, wait another minute and turn on the Xbox and test it...it will connect...

Port Forwarding for SlingBox

I would like to set up port forwarding on my Extreme so that I can access my SlingBox from work. My problem is that I can't find where to do this in Manual setup. I know I've seen it before and should be in the advanced section but it's no longer there. Do I have to change a setting so that it is available again?
During the automatic set up process of the SlingBox it attempts to make the changes for you on your router but it was not able to do it for the Airport Extreme which is why I am trying to do it manually.

To setup Port Mapping/Forwarding on the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn):
1. Assign a manual IP to the host device.
System Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort > TCP/IP
- Configure IPv4: Manually
- IP Address: <enter the desired IP address for your host server>
- Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
- Router: 10.0.1.1
- DNS Servers <your ISP DNS server IPs>
2. Setup Port Mapping on the AEBSn.
To setup port mapping on an AEBSn, connect wirelessly or directly, using an Ethernet cable, to one of the LAN port of the AEBSn, and then use the AirPort Utility to make these settings:
Advanced - Port Mapping tab
- Click the + (Add) button
- Service: <choose the appropriate service from the Service pop-up menu>
- Public UDP Port(s): <enter the appropriate UDP port values>
- Public TCP Port(s): <enter the appropriate TCP port values>
- Private IP Address: <enter the IP address of the host server>
- Private UDP Port(s): <enter the same as Public UDP Ports or your choice>
- Private TCP Port(s): <enter the same as Public TCP Ports or your choice>
- Click "Continue"

WRT54GS v6 - Port Forwarding Field Colors (Yellow vs Green)?

WRT54GS v6, Firmware 1.52.0
Can anyone explain the color coding for the text field backgrounds under the "Port Forwarding" section?
I have severally seemingly normal port forwarding entries with green backgrounds, and then one entry whose text fields are all backed in yellow.
My assumption is that the 'yellow' entry is not working correctly.

normally there is no colour coding involved in Port Forwarding....may be what you are thinking is correct....

Can not port forward on WRT54GS v6 "You cannot use the router IP"

Hello, I'm trying to open a port number, but when I try to use my router's IP, the following message appears
"You cannot use the router IP, network, or broadband address"
[IMG]http://i45.tinypic.com/107qond.jpg[/IMG]
My ADSL was working as a NAT behind a NAT connection, so I had to change my Local IP Address to 192.168.2.1.
Router: WRT54GS v6 firmware 1.52.8 (latest) - Bellsouth router: Westell 6100
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
   Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : launchmodem.com
   Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::40a9:a76e:61b3:6435%11
   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.100
   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.1
So, please help me, how can I open ports on my router? =[
PS: I tried to use 192.168.2.100, and even though it lets me use it, it still seems not to open that port... my IP is dynamic.

Generally: NAT behind NAT is a bad idea. There is usually no need for double NAT. Either configure the ADSL router as bridge and use the WRT for your internet connection or set up the WRT as simple access point behind the ADSL router.
It's also unclear to me what is working or not. First I thought you can't set up forwarding at all because you get that error message. Then, in your PS you write you tried to use 192.168.2.100 and that seemed to be possible. The IP address to forward to must be the IP address of the computer to which you want to forward. Thus 192.168.2.100 is exactly the IP address you have to set up. Does this work or not?
Also remember: with double NAT you must set up two forwardings: first on the ADSL router then on the WRT. Port forwarding is necessary to allow incoming traffic through NAT. All incoming traffic arrives on the ADSL router. Thus setting up port forwarding on the WRT only won't do a thing.
It's also not recommend to use dynamic IPs for forwarding destinations. Dynamic IP addresses may change over time and that requires you to adjust forwardings accordingly. It's better to reserve fixed IP addresses (if your WRT supports this) or set a static IP address on the computer outside the DHCP address pool.

WRT54G v5 (v1.02.6 ) Port Forwarding

Hi guys,
First of all, let me confirm that I've searched almost everywhere regarding my issue here .
I'm trying to setup an openVPN network to my home network. In the backend, my computer is set-up as it should, meaning I can establish openvpn connections as long as I'm on my internal network.
To make use of this, when I'm not at home (duh!, what's the point in setting up a VPN when...), I need to forward port 1194 to my internal IP:1194
I have a WRT54G that does it's job as home router, however I do not succeed in setting up the port forwarding
I have set it up as such:
Application Start End Protocol IP Address Enable
openvpn 1194 1194 Both 192.168.1.106 check
I've turned of the firewall, and tried putting 192.168.1.106 in DMZ...but still a no-go.
I know my ISP is blocking ports < 1024, anything above should work however. (I tested it before with a WRT160N, which did do port forwarding as I would expect, however due to it's own problems, switched back to my WRT54G).
I'm pretty sure I have set-up things as they should. Does any know a more in depth way of debugging this issue?
Thanks!
Hans

When your Computer is behind the Linksys Router and you are trying to access your Office network using VPN? or from the Remote Location you are trying to access your Router using VPN?
The Router which you have it will act like a VPN Client. The Computers which are connected to the Router can Connect to a Remote VPN Server. But if you want to access your Computer from a Remote location using VPN then it will not support.

Setting up router for port forwarding - WRT54G

Hi all. I'm trying to set up my WRT54G wireless router so.i can port forward the relevant ports for my programs. I understand that you have to set up a static ip address before you can do a port forward which makes sense as you do not want to keep changing the ip address for the forwarding settings every time your network refreshes. But I cant seem to have it set up. And is there a rule that the static ip that you set should not be within the dhcp range?
After setting up the static ip and setting up the port forward settings how do I test if the port is being forwarded correctly?
Please assist! Thanks!

IIt;s usually to set the static IP outside the DHCP range like you said. You can use the router's DHCP reservation feature to set a "static IP", and as for your last question, you can find different methods on how to do that by searching the web.
I don't work for Cisco. I'm just here to help.

Port forwarding to different ports on the Linksys WRT54GS.

As you can guess, I have a Linksys WRT54GS wireless router...one of the original 1.0 versions with speedbooster. Behind this router I have my standard set of machines with dedicated IP's and a set number of IP's for additional devices to acquire IP leases dynamically via DHCP should I bring them home. One of these machines with a dedicated IP is my Debian file server. This machine is headless and without keyboard. It just sits in the corner of a room and hums along. I use SSH to remote into the device to perform maintenance, shutdown, restart, etc.
My question is this. I would like to know if the WRT54GS can be configured with "unassigned" WAN facing ports (such as 7468) to forward to "assigned" ports such as 22 which is used for SSH. In this way I can leave the default settings for SSH on the Linux machine but have 7468 as the SSH port when connecting from other computers on the Internet. My goal here is to reduce any script kiddies or other malicious code from being able to target the well known port 22.
In the Games & Applications setup you can find port forwarding and port triggering. It appears that you can only forward by port range. See this link. It gives a start and end to the port range. This appears to only forward a range of ports to the destination IP which is not really what I want to do. Do I need a hacked firmware version to accomplish this?

you can set the same port number on the port range...
as for the assigning a specific port for a specific machine, I doubt if it's possible with the a Linksys router...you may need a hacked firmware for this. Or you can DMZ just on the Linux..

WRT54G v.3 Port Forwarding Reset Problem

I have a Linksys WRT54G and I've had it for well over 3 years. I've been using another Wired router as a DHCP server and only used the wireless router for wireless access.
But recently, I took the wired router away and began using the WRT54G. I set up everything correctly including Port Forwarding, but the strange thing is that whenever I reboot my computer, the port forwarding service stops. If I enable it, disable it or do anything else, it still won't work.
The only way to fix this problem is to 'Reset Factory Settings' every time, but it gets really frustrating doing it every day. Has anyone else had this issue? P.S. - I have the latest firmware.

WRT54G Delete Port Forwarding Entries

I have a WRT54G v5 with the latest firmware upgrade.
While updating my network I decided to delete old entries from the port forwarding table. Every time I try to delete a port entry or the IP address the error checking routines warn me that a blank entry is out of range then replace it with the old entry. This error check does not depend on the Enable check.
I CAN overwrite the old entries with new and things work OK but I would just like to delete old entries. I have searched the forums here and cannot seem to find anything related to this problem. This is probable trivial since disabling the entry works but I would just like to have the table cleared.
I have NOT reset the router yet although I'm sure that would work.
Thank you

Hi,
Have you tried leaving the box with the number "0", instead of leaving it "blank", then save the settings?
*just a thought*
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is mystery. Today is a gift.

WRT54GS Not saving port forwarding info.

I gave up on an older router, and had the wrt54gs sitting in my closet. I had to set it up for the PSN and COD4, but everytime I enter the port forwarding info, it says its saved, but erases it.
The info is:
TCP 80
TCP 443
TCP 5223
UDP 3478 - 3479
UDP 3658
All enabled on PS3s IP
Click SAVE SETTINGS
It opens a black window that says settings saved
I click OK
and everything has been erased.
Im on firmware 7.50.2.
Ive tried both firefox 3 and internet explorer. (ff3 error console gave me no errors)
DMZ is enabled for my PS3.
Ive tried both a wired and wireless connection.
I can use my PS3s browser (if that matters)
Any suggestions?

You need to Upgrade the Firmware on your router...Download the Firmware from here , Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device: -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page.In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
Leave the username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router and do the port forwarding and check if it saves the settings...

RTSP steaming Port Forward (?) problems with 4 (four) WVC54GCA cameras on WRT54G v2 router.

I am having difficulties correctly setting up my four (4) WVC54GCA cameras on a WRT54G v2 router to make them stream RTSP videos that I can view on my BlackBerry Bold. I can access the cameras from the internet, through
http://CAM1_SubDomain.Linksys-Cam.com/1024
http://CAM2_SubDomain.Linksys-Cam.com/1025
http://CAM3_SubDomain.Linksys-Cam.com/1026
http://CAM4_SubDomain.Linksys-Cam.com/1027
so that part works fine.
All the 4 cameras are set up with static IP addresses.
The default RTSP port 554 and RTP Data port at 5000 are forwarded to CAM1 IP address. I can access CAM1 RTSP feed on my Blackberry Bold (and also on a good old Samsung SGH-A706 cell phone).
CAM 1 Settings:

RTSP Data Port: 5000 à Forwarded to 192.168.1.201
RTSP access on cell phone WORKS only with the following format: rtsp://CAM1_SubDomain.Linksys-Cam.com/1111, where 1111 is the access code.

Despite I have a dedicated subdomain for each camera from TZO, the following link DOESN’T WORK
rtsp://CAM2_SubDomain.Linksys-Cam.com/1111, where 1111 is the access code.
Actually, when I enter the above link, the cellphone brings in the feed from CAM1, I guess due to the identical access code with CAM2. Once I change the access code for CAM2, it doesn’t’t show any feed.

Question 1: Any idea how can I get all the four cameras RTSP feed on my cell/BlackBerry?
Question 2: I am running out of Port Range forwards. Should I add more port forwards, I have only one more shot. Any workaround?
Each and every help idea is greatly appreciated!

I have six of these cams and used the tutorial and review at http://www.Myhomserver.com for help. First thing, set ALL the RTSP access codes the SAME, so all you need to do is increment the port for each cam
Cam 1 - 192.168.1.200 - set at port 80 TCP - RTSP port default at 554, forward port 5000 UDP/TCP and the RTSP access code 12345
Cam 2 - 192.168.1.201 - set at port 1024 TCP - RTSP port at 1029, forward port 5001 UDP/TCP and the RTSP access code 12345
Cam 3 - 192.168.1.202 - set at port 1025 TCP - RTSP port at 1030, forward port 5002 UDP/TCP and the RTSP access code 12345
Cam 4 - 192.168.1.203 - set at port 1026 TCP - RTSP port at 1031, forward port 5003 UDP/TCP and the RTSP access code 12345
Cam 5 - 192.168.1.204 - set at port 1027 TCP - RTSP port at 1032, forward port 5004 UDP/TCP and the RTSP access code 12345
Cam 6 - 192.168.1.205 - set at port 1028 TCP - RTSP port at 1033, forward port 5005 UDP/TCP and the RTSP access code 12345
This worked for me using the above settings....take your time, plan out the ports, all RTSP ports must be different on each cam
Accessing CAMS can be done via your cell phone below:
Camera 1---> RTSP://<your TZO camera domain>:554/12345
Camera 2---> RTSP://<your TZO camera domain>:1029/12345
Camera 3---> RTSP://<your TZO camera domain>:1030/12345
Camera 4---> RTSP://<your TZO camera domain>:1031/12345
Camera 5---> RTSP://<your TZO camera domain>:1032/12345
Camera 6---> RTSP://<your TZO camera domain>:1033/12345
