How many open ports on router?

We just made an appointment for FIOS internet/TV/phone. We currently have Dish TV, Charter Cable internet and Verizon phone all billing seperate so we're getting the bundle and saving a ton. :-)
The phone rep didn't know much about the router. She said it had 6 ports but one port is for the TV - anyone know if this is true? I don't understand why the TV would come out of the router...
I need to be able to plug 3 computers via Cat5 into the router and have 2 running wireless... anyone know if this is going to be a problem?
We're in Southern California and am wondering what router we're going to get next week - anyone know which router we're going to get?
If there are not enough ports to plug in our 3 computers then which hub, (or second router), should get get so as not to downgrade the speed??

I am also in Southern California; more specifically, in the SFV.
You have good reason to be suspicious of the salesperson; ours was a nice guy but he was not accurate on a few things. If you hunt around, you will find some PDF files that show the ONT and such. The salesperson and the documentation will tell you that the ONT can go anywhere and that there is also an OPSU (power supply) and a BBU (battery backup). A cable guy came out about a week ahead and installed the cable. He installed the cable to go to the same place that the Time-Warner cable went. Then when they came to install everything else, they said that the OPSU and BBU absolutely must go on the other side of the wall from the ONT and the ONT must go where the cable went. We were unprepared to get the installation done at that location; we had to move a bunch of stuff in a hurry. They don't tell you about that. They need to send someone out ahead of time to get things analysed and such. The salesperson also did not tell us that we must have a STB for each television that we want to use a DVR from. The salesperson also did not tell us that we can't share programming between two DVRs. The salesperson also did not tell us that the DVR units have such limited storage that many (probably most) people are surprised by the limitation. The DVR units have an eSATA and a USB port but they are not supported. We also cannot move or copy files to or from the DVRs, either to/from another DVR or to/from another computer, except maybe using a firewire.
We got a Westell 9100EM BHR router, Model Number A909100EM1510-A and Firmware Version 1.02.00.04. There is a coax cable going in, I assume it comes from the ONT; the router has 4 LAN connections and a WAN connection. I don't know what a WAN connection is for. The router also has an antenna, I assume for a wireless connection.
The DVR units use MoCA to communicate. I am not sure, but I assume that there is coax cable from the ONT to the DVR units (we have two DVRs). MoCA I think is multimedia over cable; it appears to be a standard. Each DVR has an IP address. You should be able to use a computer in the network to access each DVR's programming, such as what is to be recorded and what has been recorded. Note that I am not saying you can watch anything; you can just see the list of programs. You can use a computer to add items to be recorded. You can also install a program for use in your computer so that the DVR units can view pictures in your computers; pictures and music but not videos. I am not sure what you need to pay for to use that though.
Other than that, I have seen nothing indicating we can access the DVR from another computer. The files on the DVR are certainly not shared or anything such as that.

Don't know how to open ports

Hello.
Could someone please tell me how to open ports on my LinkSys WRV200 Wireless-G VPN Router.
Thank you.

Open up internet explorer. On the address bar type the numbers 192.168.1.1 (username is admin, password is admin as well). Go to the Firewall tab. Depending on what kind of port opening you want, you either click on the Port Triggering or Port Forwarding subtab.
If you are hosting a certain program or application, use port forwarding. If you are just simply trying to use and access it, use port triggering.

In Safari why dont I have icon in toolbar that shows how many open pages I have?

Apparently when using Safari on the iPad there should be a little icon in the toolbar that looks like a rectangle and has various numbers in it. Apparently this shows how many open pages you have. When you tap on that icon, you are shown a page with thumbnails of the pages you have open. Unfortunately my husband's iPad does not have that tooblar icon. I cant seem to find any answers on the internet, from friends, from the IT people at work, the local people who sell iPads. Thanks to anyone who can help.

That was the case in iOS 4, but its not the same in iOS 5. Apple moved to a tab-based interface for the iPad in iOS 5. The old thumbnail view is no longer included.

How many LAG ports on the Dell PowerConnect 8024F?

My new deployment
1 x Equallogic PS4110XV with 2 controllers / 4 network ports
3 x ESXi 5 Hosts
2 x Dell PowerConnect 8024F 10 Gbps switch
2 x network ports from the Equallogic PS 4110XV will be connected to each of the PowerConnect 8024F switches
So how many LAG ports do I need to created on each of the PowerConnect 8024F switches?
Some says 4 and some says 2?
Or will it be better if I were to do stacking? I think the 8024F is capable of doing stacking..
I've attached a diagram of the setup. Thanks.

Is your question on how to set up link aggregation for the connections to the ESXi hosts or to the SAN?

How to open port 8000 (outward)

Can someone please explain how to open port 8000 for streaming Nicecast to my (network) IceCast2 server? Thanks!

If all you are using is the inbuilt firewall then it shouldn't be blocking outward connections.

How many usb ports (if any) does the 30 inch display have?

I am getting the new mac pro I know apple is going to kill the 30 inch display but as they have not done so yet I was wandering how many usb ports does it have?

Hi macnewcomer22,
Instead of buying the Apple 30" Cinema Display, for not much more you could buy the NEC Multisync 3090WQXi, which incorporates later technology and was awarded Best in Show at MacWorld.
The Apple 30" is a good display, but the technology is about 5 years old, and later models from other manufacturers, noticeably NEC, have surpassed it:
http://macperformanceguide.com/RecommendedDisplays.html
http://www.pcpro.co.uk/reviews/monitors/242010/nec-multisync-lcd3090wqxi
I purchased the standard Multisync version, without the Spectraview II software, in July 2009, and I have found it to be excellent in all respects:
http://www.nec-display-solutions.co.uk/p/uk/en/products/details/dp/Products/LCD/ Current/LCD-3090WQXi/LCD-3090WQXi.xhtml?e=e1s1
Although most resellers only stock the 3090WQXi in black, it is also available in a silver finish, which looks great alongside a Mac Pro.

Bill

How to open ports 119 and 443 in my Mac?

I've been trying to use the UseNeXT software with my Mac with no success. I called their support and they told me I need to open the ports 119 and 443. I contact Apple support and they told me that is beyond their scope (???).
Can somebody help me with that? I tried to find it online, but all tutorials that i tried didn't work or are outdated.
Thanks

Hi Drew,
It probably depends on the router as to the method used to open the ports.
As I have said elsewhere in the thread the first 1024 ports are open in most router to allow things to work Out of the Box such as Mail (110, 25, 567, 569, 995, 996 and many more ) and web Browsing (port 80 mostly but secure site can use 443) FTP (21 and 22) to name some.
Port Forwarding is one way to open some of the ports for One IP (computer).
Most routers have table for doing this and this can be limited as to the number of ports included.
This Linksys pic shows how to do it for some as it allows groups based on Start and end ports. However it restricts it to one IP
DMZ is a form of Extreme Port Forwarding that opens all 65535 ports to one IP (Computer)
In both the above cases other computers (IP addresses) are excluded from using the ports.
Port Triggering doe allow multiple computers to access the same Port but requires that you know the lead - Trigger - port involved for each app.
It is limited by the table size for your particular router.
Same Router in Trigger ports for iChat 3
Most router come with UPnP nowadays.
It is an ON/Off setting that allows the apps on the computer to say which ports are needed and when.
On some you can reduce the time to live and the Hop amounts.
The ports stay open from a period of normally 30 mins after non use.
This can be changed.
It also tends to list the number of Hops (the number of devices beyond the UPnP device) that it can be heard.
My Sky Hub
I have no other router on my network but I do sometimes use Internet Sharing between two computers hence the 2 Hops.
Every other device is only one Hop away from the the router.
There are concerns that the "Advertisement" is seen upstream (internet side) as well as device downstream.
The Concern is that this could be Up to your ISP and then down to the "next" IP end user on the particular router/server at the ISP end.
I have seen no evidence of this being the case.
Hope this helps.

How to open ports 80 and 443

SRP527W - How to open port 491 for Go-Global apps

Hi Guys,
Recently bought a Go-Global to a remote which require to open port tcp 491. I'm using SRP527W, how configure using this devices, I tried using the port forwarding but failed. Need anyone can help thanks.

I have the same request, and have tried the steps written in the post online, but the screen options are not what was explained.
Per the instructions with my IP Camera support, here's what I need to do:
======
First thing you will need to do is make sure that in the network settings of your camera that you have entered the correct gateway and DNS information. The default gateway address is going to be the LAN IP address of your router. The primary DNS address is also going to be the LAN ip address of your router. For the secondary DNS address enter the address 4.2.2.2, save these settings in your camera.
The second thing you will need to do is, you will need to log into your router and forward the port your camera is using (the default port is port 80) to the LAN IP address of your camera. This will be done in the port forwarding section of your router. You may need to contact the manufacturer of your router to have them walk you through these steps.
In order to access your camera, you will need to use the WAN (public) IP address that was provided to you by your ISP. As an example, the URL will look like this, HTTP://65.44.139.2 or if you are using a different port number other than 80, you will have to use the URL with the port number. That URL would look exactly like this, HTTP://65.44.139.2:81
======
I've changed the secondary DNS to 4.2.2.2, but I cannot find how to forward the camers's port to the IP address of the camera....I've set 198.268.1.240 as the camera address.
Can you help?
Thanks,

How many RE1000 on one Router.

How many RE1000 extenters can be attaced to one router ?

That's incorrect.
Wired access points can use the same SSID and create a wireless roaming network... Good wireless clients should be able to roam seamlessly between access points wired to the same network.
And with the advantage of full bandwidth this solution is far superior to repeaters...

How to open Ports for App running in VPC

Trying to open ports for a Windows app that I am running via VPC but the application still shows the port is unreachable.
So far I have, opened the port in Mac OSX Firewall, opened ports on my D-Link DSL504G router, disabled the Windows firewall (plus opened the ports in case it became enabled).
Have also redirected the ports to the IP address within VPC Windows and the Mac itself.
Have run out of ideas as nothing seems to work.

Try the following ...
AEBSn - Port Mapping Setup
To setup port mapping on an 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), either connect to the AEBSn's wireless network or temporarily connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to one of the LAN port of the AEBSn, and then use the AirPort Utility, in Manual Setup, to make these settings:
1. Reserve a DHCP-provided IP address for the host device.
Internet > DHCP tab
o On the DHCP tab, click the "+" (Add) button to enter DHCP Reservations.
o Description: <enter the desired description of the host device>
o Reserve address by: MAC Address
o Click Continue.
o MAC Address: <enter the MAC (what Apple calls Ethernet ID if you are using wired or AirPort ID if wireless) hardware address of the host computer>
o IPv4 Address: <enter the desired IP address>
o Click Done.
2. Setup Port Mapping on the AEBSn.
Advanced > Port Mapping tab
o Click the "+" (Add) button
o Service: <choose the appropriate service from the Service pop-up menu>
o Public UDP Port(s): <enter the appropriate UDP port values>
o Public TCP Port(s): <enter the appropriate TCP port values>
o Private IP Address: <enter the IP address of the host server>
o Private UDP Port(s): <enter the same as Public UDP Ports or your choice>
o Private TCP Port(s): <enter the same as Public TCP Ports or your choice>
o Click "Continue"

How to Open Ports

Hi
For a guy who once installed systems on an SE that Apple told me would never work I'm a dee dee dee when it comes to understanding ports. I need to open two ports to run Tune Ranger (to sync various macs with massive Libraries) So far I have had to drag them together and do a straight ethernet run. Target mode hasn't worked. Accertant recommends opening two ports but I can't seem to get it right. Can somebody explain it without terminal speak?
Thanks

If your macs are on a network behind the same router you don't need to open ports you just turn off the firewall.
Running a firewall behind a router is not necessary as the router firewalls you.

How to open ports 2078 and 2077

I can't seem to figure out how to do this.
I need it for a webdisk for my site but can't get these 2 porst to open so it can connect.
any help on how/where I go to do this?

I'm not entirely sure if you're using the Mac OS X Server or the Mac OS X client software version here, so the following covers both. Use of System Preferences implies client, though this is a server forum.
With Mac OS X Server 10.6, use the Server Admin tool to open up the ports you need. Launch Server Admin > select the target server > select Firewall > select Settings > select Services, open the ports, Save, etc.
With Mac OS X client 10.5.1 and later and with 10.6 and later, the firewall mechanisms and settings are application-based and not port-based, and you select the application to allow, and it can then use whatever ports it needs. System Preferences > Sharing > Advanced... and then the + to add the application. (Details: [ht1810|http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1810])
If you're running this box as a network gateway, then things can get a little more complex; I'd tend to use an external firewall if that's an option.
If you're running this as the client for the disk services (as I might guess) and if you're accessing a remote web disk on a remote system via ports 2077 (SSL) and 2078, then I wouldn't usually expect to need to open these ports on the client; it's usually the remote server system and not the client that needs to open ports. (Are you getting any diagnostic messages here? Are you looking to serve disks out to other hosts via this protocol? If so, and if you're on Mac OS X Client here, then try adding the application that serves the disks to the list of applications known to the firewall.)
As an alternative, Apple servers and servers from other providers can run WebDAV disk services via port 80, which means that most any server that allows http web connections can also allow WebDAV connections. (WebDAV is a built-in feature of this Apache web server, so most any Apple Mac OS X box can serve disk space using http port 80 and WebDAV.)
The lower level approach to opening the ports is the ipfw tool, and the command line.

How many nas connections to router can handle

Greetings,
I wonder how many NAS Linksys EA6500 in Bridge mode can handle.
I have got two Linksys EA6500 routers - one bridged with already one WD My Cloud connected.
I thank you in advance.

Sorry I thought you were going to use the EA6500 as your NAS.
Having a separate switch for the NAS's is best if you have a lot of Ethernet LAN data otherwise plugging them straight into the router would be fine.
Please remember to Kudo those that help you.
