More Port Forwarding Options

I have a WRT300N.
I have used up all the single port forwarding options.
I have used up all the port range forwarding options.
What is left, i still need more options.
Is there a way to expand the amount of port forwarding options?

Wich version of the 300N? DD-WRT firmware is supported on V1 with V2 support as a work-in-progress. The firmware allows a much larger number of port forwarding entries to be configured.

  • Combo unix ssh port forwarding + iChatAV + Bonjour question

    I don't know which forum is best for this question, so thought I'd try here first.
    I've been tossing around the idea of picking up a couple of iSights and running iChatAV. Problem is, if I understand this correctly, iChatAV uses a couple of ports for connections to third-party servers: AOL buddy server or Jabber server, a port for something called snatmap, a port for SIP, and some other stuff. Plus, it requires that you open up nearly 20 ports on your network for the AV traffic! (I get nervous just having my non-standard ports for smtp and ssh open, and my imaps port open (which is another issue -- anybody know how to change imaps port 993 to a non-standard port if running uw-imap server?) It doesn't look like iChatAV can, normally, operate by "calling up" an IP address or hostname...it always has to set up calls using AOL or Jabber...unless, perhaps, the destination iSight/iChatAV is on your own Bonjour-capable subnet.
    So, I'm thinking, what if a calling party created a ssh tunnel and port-forwarded the dozens of UDP and couple of TCP ports over a ssh tunnel, as a lengthy list of port forward options like "-L 5297:localhost:5297 -L ...", (assuming that the forwarding host, to whom the caller ssh's, is the same computer that is running iChatAV, hence, the remote host specification in the "-L" option of "localhost"). Would the caller then be able to treat the connection like Bonjour networking and when he calls localhost on his end of the circuit, it "bonjours" to the called hostname's localhost and thus a peer-to-peer connection would be made?
    Or perhaps a reverse port forward tunnel ("-R" options) could be set up in advance by the "to-be-called" party, and then the calling party initiates a iChatAV call as a "same-subnet-as-calling-computer-via-Bonjour" type of call?
    I'm just kicking around some thoughts here; I don't know enough about the intricacies of iChatAV and Bonjour (and ssh) to really know all the "gotchas" and I'd like to get the planning done with a high degree of confidence of success before I plunk out $300 on two iSights.
    If the general concensus of the group moderator and others on this forum is that this question should be posted in another forum, I apologize, and I'll move, but I thought that the ssh tunneling nature of my inquiry (and my unrelated side question about how to change 993 to a non-standard port) made this forum the obvious, and best, choice.
    Thanks in advance for any thoughts on these issues!

    No, you can't do what you describe. You have to use port forwarding on the router for any incoming connections, and each port forward rule can only map to a single server/service.
    However, SSH has the ability to tunnel other connections, so it may be possible to remove one or more of the existing port forwarding rules and replace them with a SSH rule, then use SSH tunneling to get to those services. Of course, this will only work for services that only you (or other authorized users) need to access, and not public services such as web/http traffic (assuming you're running a public web site).
    The only other option would be to replace your router with one that doesn't have such a strict limit on the number of port forwarding rules.

  • Onkyo remote app2 port forwarding

    Hi guys
    My 1st post, so here goes...
    Im using an iPhone 5 with Onkyo Remote2 App to TRY to control Onkyo TX NR414 with wireless dongle.
    It used to work but was never stable, but of late it seems to have just gave up. I've tried uninstalling the app, reseting the recievers wireless connection etc.... I've tried googling the problem and it seems I may have to open ports in the BT Home Hub to allow the app through. I recently changed my wireless channel on my Hub as I was having issues with my SkyHD On Demand (which is connected wirelessly, too) and my Ipad was having trouble staying connected too, but everything is working well now, except the App.
    Its a real issue as I just upgraded to Spotify Premium and now i cant control music etc in Zone 2 (kitchen)..... BTW this problem has been going on from before I changed the wireless channel, so Im sure this is not the cause.
    I had a look at the Port Forward options on my Hub but I havent a clue what to do, so any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    I've found the interface very hard to deal with, and there doesn't seem to be any support from either Verizon or Westell for any of
    the "advanced" features in the 7500.  I've made port forwarding work though.
    You aren't very specific about what services on your Lan you are trying to expose, but in no particular order here some thing that might help you out.
    - Make sure that your 7500 firewall is set no higher than medium otherwise port forwarding isn't going to do anything at all.  
    - Turn on logging so the device tells you when it blocks something.
    - If you don't have a static WAN IP sign up for a dynamic dns service.
    - You probably want to have a static LAN IP assigned to the service on the LAN you are trying to access.
    - Make sure that the LAN service isn't running a software firewall that is blocking things.

  • 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://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.

    OS: XP SP2  
    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

  • NVG589 Port Forwarding

    They replaced my 2wire with a new NVG589.  I am having problems with the port forwarding for several devices (DVR and Tablo).  I tried looking through the fourms but it looks like everyone has port forwarding issues with this router.  Is there a solutation to the problem yet?   

    I have not had a chance to test the port forwarding options on an NVG589, but it is very similar to the NVG510.
    Login to your modem at http://192.168.1.254 (or whatever the default gateway is set to)
    Click on the Firewall tab at the top
    Click on NAT/Gaming
    Click on Custom Services and fill out the fields as necessary and save and return to the previous page
    Back on the NAT/Gaming main page, choose the Service you just created, and then choose the appropriate device in the Needed by Device field.
    Click Add.
    Hopefully that works, but if the NVG589 is anything like the NVG510 when it comes to this, it has an issue of having a device with a public IP address in the Needed by Device field. If that's the case, the best option in my opinion is to use your own router for port forwarding options or just go passthrough straight to your device, and just setup the NVG589 in a passthrough mode with that router or straight to that device.
    To do so:
    Login to your modem at http://192.168.1.254 (or whatever the default gateway is set to)
    Click on the Firewall tab at the top
    Click on IP Passthrough
    On Passthrough Mode choose DHCPS-fixed
    On Passthrough MAC Address, input the MAC Address of your router or device. (If you are not sure of the MAC Address, you can locate it by going to Device -> Device List in the NVG589. It will have a list of all the devices connected to it along with the MAC Address of the Device).
    Click Save at the bottom.
    Hopefully, this helps out. Let us know how it goes.

  • Port forward only allows "Same as Incomming"

    I have a new actiontec mi 424 wr gen2 router and want to setup port forwarding. However it does not allow me to enter a port number in the port forwarding screen. Instead it only has the option of "Same as incomming". Does anyone know how to configure it so it accepts a port in the port forwarding option?

    Here is how I forwarded port 8081 to port 80 for 192.168.1.5 internal.
    Go to port forwarding and add.
    Enter 192.168.1.5 for the ip address.  Specify protocol and then add server ports.  Call it any name you want and select protocol (TCP probably)  and Select the destination port as 8081. then apply.  Now you will see Service Name: whatever and server ports TCP with Any--->8081  Hit apply again and you are back to add port forwarding rule with a rule name like TCP Any--> 8081.  Below that you will see forward to port with a drop down that should be on specify and default value of 80.  Apply that and you now have a rule that forwards port 8081 to port 80.   And you're right....that is a wacky way to have to port forward

  • Port Forwarding on a Router

    I'm getting quite frustrated with ARD 2.2. I'm trying to use ARD over the internet to teach my parents how to use their iMacs. I have all of the Network and Sharing settings turned on at their end, which isn't easy to accomplish since they are novice users 1500 miles away. I can use ARD to access and control the macs on my local network, but every time I input my parent's IP addresses, I get the message "Verify Failed", and it can't be because I have the wrong User Name or Password.
    I've read a lot about port forwarding for macs behind a router and I may need to do it. But it seems like everyone but me knows how to forward a port and nobody has given step-by-step instructions on how to do this. So I have some questions.
    1. I have a Linksys router on my end and a MacSense router on theirs. Do I need to enable Port Forwarding on both routers?
    2. When I enter their IP addresses, their computers are "seen" by ARD. How can it "see" these computers if the port forwarding is not enabled?
    3. My Linksys router has a web page that controls it, but nowhere is there a "Port Forwarding" option. Where is this located? Is it called by another name? Does it have something to do with NAT? How exactly do you "adjust" NAT settings to open a port?
    All the macs in question are using OS 10.4.5 or 10.4.6. My version of ARD is 2.2. Here is the line of connection between their macs and mine:
    Parent's iMac : MacSense Router : Cable Modem : INTERNET : Cable Modem : Linksys Router : 4 Port Hub : Airport Extreme Base Station : Powerbook G4.
    I would appreciate any suggestions at this point. Thanks!

    Things have taken a turn for the worse. After my last solution, we found that my Mom's iMac could not send email. She could receive mail and surf the internet, but not send. The problem showed up as soon as I mucked about with the router ports. She has a .Mac account, btw.
    To complicate things, my ARD connection shows my Dad's iMac, not Mom's. I could connect to Dad's iMac through ARD but not Mom's. Only if we shut down Dad's iMac could I connect to Mom's. The odd thing was the connection I was getting to Mom's iMac was listed as Dad's computer!
    I have read that ARD can only connect to one computer behind a router. No biggie, I'll just have them turn one off when I use the other. But how to solve the send email problem?
    I decided to use the DMZ (De-Militarized-Zone) setting of their router to open all ports on one IP address. When I did this we could finally see my Mom's iMac with her proper name in ARD. But joy was short lived because my control and observe attempts failed. I get the message "Connection Failed to XXX" where XXX is the name of Mom's iMac. Adding insult to injury, the mail still won't send.
    ARD shows the Current Application, Current User and Status (Available). I can send messages through ARD and they are received successfully (they can see the messages on their end).
    If I can get this far, why can't I observe? And what happened to the sending of email? Help me Obi Won Kanobi - you're my only hope!

  • Port forwarding - some more clarity please

    I have set up port forwarding in the past and never had the problems that I am currently experiencing with HH4 with two ip cams. It would be great if there were some simple rules to follow - and I do appreciate the efforts of people on this forum but I am still confused. Can anyone answer the following
    1 - there is an option to set up Dynammic DNS at advanced/broadband/dynamic DNS. Can I setup two  cameras (one using No-ip the other using an embeded foscam DN)  using this option?
    2 - Within the advanced/firewall/port forwarding section I can allocate a port. I have allocated 8090 for camera 1 and 8095 for camera 2. When I checked my ports both were "timed out" - what causes that.
    3 - I read on one of the posts that the ports should be outside of the allocated DNS range - can anyone tell me what the HH4 allocated DNS range is and are any other port numbers to be avoided - I was using 1000 as a port and this seemed to have problems
    4 - Does a port have to be allocated for the camera set up on question 1 above (I am assuming yes but I am having so many problems I need to check every step!).
    5 - I want to access the cameras from several different phones, tablets laptops etc, also my son will want access and possibly others - so if more than one person tries to access the same IP cam will one fail or is the port forwarding port shared? Or do I need to add another setting somewhere to allow multiple access to the same port.
    6 - I would like to have a permanent display on my Google TV - If I just use the local IP address of the camera will that block all other users including those on the home network and external.
    It would be great to just get the cameras working without them stopping every few days. 

    I should start this off with a couple of quick caveats:  I've never had to use DynDNS, so can't advise with regard to that and have never used a HH4, but have used and helped to set up on a Business Hub 3 which is very similar firmware.  With that in mind:
    2/  The timing out on your checks normally, in my experience, means that the firewall is passing the information, but the device isn't responding in time.  If you try a port check using www.subnetonline.com, you normally get on of 3 responses, open, error 110 which is the connection timing out and 111 which is connection refused.  111 is normally the firewall bouncing the scan.  You could try doing a port check, then go to the event log on the router and see if it has a filter for firewall.  If so, you could take a look on there to see if it is showing the packet being passed.  If it is, then normally that would indicate that it is the device that needs looking at rather than the router.
    3/ The devices, for a fixed internal address, should be outside the DHCP range, the range of addresses that the router hands out dynamically.  The range on the HH 4 is, I believe, 192.168.1.64-.1.253.  As a result, fixing an address to a device, you would have the range .1.1-.1.63 available.  If you do set the address on the device, please make sure that the gateway address is 192.168.1.254.  In my experience, a lot of cameras seem to have .1.1 as a default for that, which would make a port check fail.
    4/ Yes, you would need ports forwarding for both devices.
    5/ Again, I go back to my caveats, but I have had multiple people, on multiple sites and devices, all accessing a device that I have set port forwarding up for.  This has included cameras as well as storage devices, for example, and it has worked fine with no additional settings.
    6/I can't speak specifically to the to Google TV, but having something permanently accessing on an internal address, whcih as you are aware doesn;t use port forwarding, should have absolutely no effect on something accessing from externally.
    Apologies I couldn't comment on the DynDNS or specifically to the HH4, but someone with a little more experience of both of those should be able to add to my mutterings.
    Hope this helped a little.

  • More ports to forward

    I have a linksys WRT54GS wireless router which is working splendidly. However I play a *lot* of video games and I like to host games when playing all of these games. So, naturally, I have to forward a couple ports because not everything works happily together when hosting. I have no problems with that, I got my computer on a static IP address and all of the games I've set my router up for work just fine.
    Problem is there simply aren't enough places for me to specify all the ports I want to forward. Obviously I don't want to include ports I don't need forwarded so I don't want to skip over ones I don't need. But 10 slots isn't enough... Battlefield Vietnam takes up 7 on its own. Is there any way to include more ports I want to forward?

    Man, oh man, I could use more than 10 port forwarding lines!  Would Linksys possibly consider increasing this to 20 in a subsequent firmware upgrade? 20 would probably be the most I would ever need.
    I'm not comfortable using 3rd-party firmware upgrades on my router...
    Thanks a lot for your consideration.

  • WRT54GC How to make more port range forwarding fields?

    Hello I only have 15 port forwarding fields to enter all my programs and it is not enough since I have two pcs accessing the router getting two different ips for each one. Each aplicattion needs two forwards one for 192.168.1.100 the other for 192.168.1.101. How can I add more fields? thanks a lot

    hi , this is a product limitation that you cannot add more than 15 entries.....what you can try though , is to "trigger" the ports instead of forwarding them....triggering does not require you to specify an IP address....the port will open for whichever PC makes the request from within the network...

  • Need more than 10 ports forwarded...any way??

    Is there a way to increase the number of port forwards allowed in theWRT54G?
    We have 15 computers that need access to port 4899 in the RAdmin remote access. Is there something I can do to gain more than 10 ip addresses access to this port .... like a ip range?
    Thanks in advance.
    Dennis

    No. Forwarding can be used only for 1 PC, in situation where you need to forward any particular traffic to particular terminal, such any servers. If you need to allow multiple Pc to access any particular traffic then you may trigger the port instead.

  • Time Capsule disconnects internet when using web server through port forwarding

    My current config is: 2TB Time Capsule running 7.6.3, Mac Pro running Lion (10.7.5), MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion (10.8.3), and a couple of MacBook Pro Retinas running Mountain Lion. My current ISP is Comcast.
    I have the Time Capsule set up to port forward port 80 to the Mac Pro for the purpose of running a web server. Most of the traffic is shuttling fairly large m4v files back and forth to work (work product from video editing work). I can reach the webserver on the Mac Pro just fine from the outside world, and can list files in the directory just fine. When I initiate a download (via right click on a link, "Save As..." or whatever), the Time Capsule reports that the Internet has been disconnected, and all machines inside my network lose access to the outside world. I have to either power cycle the Time Capsule, or disconnect/reconnect the Cat-6 cable between the cable modem and the Time Capsule to re-establish the connection. Interestingly, the download continues and completes on the other end without issue (so, the connection is actually still there!).
    Before switching to Comcast, I was on AT&T Uverse - Uverse includes a router, so I had the TIme Capsule set up in Bridge Mode. That worked fine. I also have an older 500GB 1st generation Time Capsule. I set it up with the same config as my 2TB TC, and it shows the exact same behavior - internet disconnects upon initiating a file download through a forwarded port. I then hooked the Mac Pro up directly to the cable modem. I can initiate a download without issue, and I continue to stay connected to the Internet without problem. Called Comcast anyway - they report no errors on the line, but reset the whole device chain anyway. No change in behaviors.
    I tried downgrading the Time Capsule software to 7.6.2 (the earliest version that came on it). No dice, same behavior.
    So... I called Apple. Complete and utter FAIL. Apple Support reports that they have no training in the port forwarding features of the Time Capule or Airport products, and cannot help me resolve the issue because of that. So, I have a $300 router that apparently cannot perform a simple routing function (download through a forwarded port), that I cannot troubleshoot (because Airport software v7 is an epic fail in that regard), made by a company who cannot support it - and everything this $300 device is doing can be done by a $50 device with a $100 external hard drive?
    Do I understand this situation correctly? What have I missed in trying to troubleshoot this thing?

    Excellent summary.. I think you have covered all the salient points most thoroughly.
    Port forwarding on the TC I would put into the category of "epic fail"
    I have a nasty feeling it just doesn't work in many cases. Clearly from your situation the port is forwarded correctly.. it is the actual download that is causing the device to crash.. which is probably not the port forwarding itself that is at fault but rather the external link and opening another port for the download to happen.
    Many of the issues were caused by using icloud and btmm.. which would work a lot better btw. Although the hassle there is needing to offer that as a service to any Tom Dick or Harry.
    Let me suggest a work around or other things to try.
    I also have an older 500GB 1st generation Time Capsule. I set it up with the same config as my 2TB TC, and it shows the exact same behavior - internet disconnects upon initiating a file download through a forwarded port.
    Use 5.6 utility.. more info below. And take the firmware of this unit (Gen1) back to 7.5.2 (before icloud mess ups in 7.6).
    You can go back to 7.5 firmware also in Gen4 TC if it is more than about 14months old.. Simply hold down the option key when you select firmware and the old versions will show up. If your TC came with 7.6.1 (the 7.6.2 was withdrawn as it was even bigger failure than 7.6.3). then you cannot go back.
    You might also find downloading via http is not as reliable as using FTP.. FTP is a better and more efficient protocol. It should be no problem to setup ftp server on the mac pro to allow download via ftp even with a browser.
    But in the end.. your $50 router suggestion.. well perhaps a little more than that.. $80-100 will work very well.. also this router can be setup with a Hard Disk and offer the files to the internet via FTP.. without needing full network access to your internal network.
    How to load 5.6 into ML.
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall 6.1 (now 6.2 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.

  • Port Forwarding for a PPoA device connected to Time Capsule

    Hi - advice please.
    Relevant hardware configuration:
    iMac
    Time Capsule 1Tb -latest dual band version*
    Vigor 120 ADSL modem*
    Vodafone Sure Signal
    I recently upgraded my old D-Link ADSL router with the starred items* above. Really pleased with the performance of my Time Capsule and ADSL modem - it's much faster and more reliable.
    Problem
    However I have one piece of hardware that will not work on the new set up - the Vodafone Sure Signal which boosts my 3G signal using my ADSL connection. As I live in a mobile signal blackspot this is a big deal for me.
    *Possible solution?*
    I've read on a Vodafone forum that the issue is that Sure Signal box needs a PPoA connection - the TC is PPoE. I've read on some of the forum threads that the Vodafone box might work if *port forwarding* is set up on the Time Capsule.
    I'd like to give this a go and I have the TCP / UDP settings but do not know how to set this up in the Airport Utility. Can anyone offer any help or advice on how to achieve this?
    Also do I need to set anything up on the ADSL modem? This modem does not require bridge mode as it's a straight through connection to the ISP (that's why I bought it!)
    The only other option I can see is to take out the new ADSL modem (pity) and put in the old D-Link (disabling the wi-fi so it's just a router) and configuring the Time Capsule to bridge mode.
    Many thanks to the Community for any advice received.

    If your Modem has a wifi router in it: yes the TC in "create network" and "bridge mode", and -if there is such setting -  set the TC "allow this network to be extended". The Express set in "extend the network".

  • How can I setup port forwarding for RDP (3389) using MHS291LVW?

    Hi,
    I went into my MHS291LVW and I enabled port forwarding.  I didn't see an option for Remote Desktop (RDP) so I added a custom application called RDP and I set "Global Port" and "Private Port" to port number 3389 and I set it as TCP/UDP and then entered the local IP (192.168.1.135) of the PC I want to connect to.  I made my local PC use a static IP so this 192.168.1.135 will never change.
    Then when I go under "About Jetpack" I see that there is a WAN IP address listed; so I wrote this down and then I tried to connect remotely to this PC from outside the Verizon Jetpack network but it didn't work.
    Then the strange thing is when I go to Google and type "what's my IP", Google shows me a different external WAN IP address that Verizon Jetpack showed me in the admin web interface.  Anyway, I tried this WAN IP address that Google gave me but it still didn't connect to my local PC.
    Can someone please help me in figuring out why this is not working?
    I've setup port forwarding on plenty of other routers (Linksys, Netgear, etc.), but I never tried it on a Verizon Jetpack MHS291LVW but it should work the same so I'm not sure why this is not working for me.
    Thank you!

    > If I can't use the "Microsoft Windows RDP" service because of the private IP; would I be able to use a software like "TeamViewer" to gain access to my PC?
    Yes.  This is how a VPN server works around the private IP address restrictions of the VZW network.  It will work and you will be able to access anything that is centrally connected to a VPN server. 
    > Also, if I were to take the VPN option and setup a VPN server on the PC
    Not on the remote PC silly guy.  Hosting a VPN from within the VZW network wont do you any good as its IP will be masked by the NAT firewall.  You must setup a VPN server off of the VZW network for it to work.  That way when you remote into the VPN server it is already outside of the VZW NAT that is restricting you in the first place.  There are many VPN vendors that you can test out and pay access for if you don't have any interest in setting up one on your own.  Some are free where others charge more money for more bandwidth and customization features.
    > If I were to try to connect to this PC on the JetPack side from an external PC on a different network I don't know how I would be able to access it since the JetPack IP address is private.
    The idea is that everything rests on the VPN server when remote connections are made.  The Jetpack PC, VPN Server and your current local PC all connect to the VPN server so everything is then local communication.  The VPN will make it appear as though everything is virtually connected to the same appliance even though they are physically separated by whatever distance you want.
