Port Forwarding Comcast Modem/Router for enabling ...

The process of port forwarding seems long and complicated. Is the Freetalk Connect Me phone adapter, which is no longer offered by Skype, worth it? I'd like to begin using my Skype service and use Comcast only for internet. The modem/router I use now has two phone ports. Will default settings in Skype allow me to use this modem?

Skype's standard service doesn't natively support SIP, only through the use of the connect service which is pricier. The failure was my experience, it may not be the same for you, whatever software or hardware issues create the problem might be addressed in the newer releases. I guess I will find out over time. I'm still slowly trying to figure out if they are repairable and I've been partially successful. One other similar device is the Soundwin SP110. Someone posted what I think is the most reasonable price I have seen it for.(http://global.pchome.com.tw/english/?m=item&f=exhibit&IT_NO=DSAD04-A64453055). It's getting better with firmware updates, but I personally don't own one.

How to port forward with Modem and Router

I have a Linksys AM300 Modem and a Linksys WRT610N router.
I want to forward ports for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and STEAM.
How do I port forward when I have 2 devices and how can I test that it is working?

I would recommend that you reconfigure your AM300 into bridge mode. In bridge mode it operates like a standard modem would do. Then reconfigure the WRT610N for your internet connection, i.e. most likely PPPoE. Now the WRT has a direct connection into the internet. Now you only need to configure port forwarding on the WRT610N.

Best wireless modem/router for Comcast internet service?

Hello!
I am looking to switch internet service from Verizon DSL to Comcast. I have a MacBook Pro using Airport Extreme (supports 802.11 a/b/g/n), and my other computer is an iMac (OS 10.5.8, iMac 6,1), with a printer and a Roku box (I'm also thinking about switching to Apple TV). All are currently set-up wirelessly with a combined modem/router.
I know that there is a list of a bunch of potentials on the Comcast website, but I'm looking for real experience from Mac users. Good, bad or neutral comments are appreciated.
Thank you!
Ken

Don't pay Comcast monthly for a router. Buy a router. A router is a router, the best routers are Cisco based rackmount devices. Honestly the AirPort Express and Extreme are amazing and work quite well with Apple products. Plus if you purchase one and get AppleCare on it you get AWESOME support from your friendly AppleCare advisors... sure as **** beats going to India and talking to Fred.

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 in WRT54GL Router does not work

When i forward ports in the firware it does not work correctly. I tested it using http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ and it still said that the port was closed.

Who is your ISP. When you do port forwarding make sure you have entered the IP address of the computer for which you need to enable port forwarding. Under "Security" Tab uncheck "Block Anonymous Internet Request" and click on Save Settings.After this try testing if that port is opened or not.What ports numbers you are trying to open on your router.

Port Forwarding - DSL-2750B router

Anyone know how to set port forwarding on the Verizon D-Link DSL-2750B router? The menu is very different from the other modem/routers.

#2 In the same paragraph as
There is no standard governing the format of these machine names, so this is not something we can automatically determine for you
is an IP Address.
#3 Record down that IP Address.
#4 In the router go to System -> Monitor -> Network.
#5 In there, make sure that one of the IP Address(es) in there is the same IP Address that you recorded at step 3.
#6 In the router go to System -> Universal Plug and Play (UPnP™)
#7 If you do not have at least two special computers that support Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) where you can not define the ports that they use, turn off UPnP in the router.
A perfect example. At least two game consoles. Any two (Two Xboxes, two Playstations, One Xbox and one Playstation).
#8 If you have at least two special computers that support UPnP where you can not define the ports that they use: Do only use one at a time OR are there times when at least two are on?
#9 If you have at least two computers but you don't know if you have at least two special computers that
support Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) where you can not define the ports that they use, describe your network to me including the brand and model of the device(s) from your modem combo (Zyxel P-2602HWT-F1) inwards (away from the Internet).
Note - by brand and model: This assumes that you did not build your own equipment...
For example, there are people who buy the parts for their computer(s) and then build their computer(s).
More info is online about what parts to buy and how to assemble a computer, if you don't want to buy a computer.
That info could be found with Google (or your favorite search engine) with the search for build own computer.
Without anymore delay: Describing my network from my modem combo inward (away from the Internet).

#6 Connected to one of my Dynex DX-EHB4 ver 3.0 other RJ-45 ports (but not the port next to the uplink port) is other ethernet wire.
#7 That other ethernet wire connects to my Linksys WRT54G v2's WAN/Internet (or To Modem) port.
#8 No other wires, other than a power supply line is connected to the my Dynex DX-EHB4 ver 3.0
#9 My Linksys WRT54G v2 has five ethernet ports (one is the WAN/Internet/To Modem Port).
#10 Connected to the RJ-45 LAN port number one of my Linksys WRT54G v2 is a wire that goes to my Dynex DX-E402's RJ-45 LAN port number four.
#11 My Dynex DX-E402 has five ethernet ports (one is the WAN/Internet/To Modem Port).
#12 The WAN/Internet (or To Modem) port of my Dynex DX-E402 has a wire connected to it, but there is nothing else connected at the other end of that wire.

#17 LAN port number four of Linksys WRT54G v2, in turn goes to the computer that is down stairs and nothing else is on that wire.
Simply stated (OR in other words) : If I were to go down stairs and disconnect the wire that is connected to the computer, the light for LAN port number four of my Linksys WRT54G v2 would go off.

Recommended modem/router for multiple iChat

Hi all,
I have several Macs on a small LAN accessing the internet using ADSL.
I am looking for a combined router/ADSL modem which has been proven to be compatible with such a configuration, knowing that all Macs should have the possibility to use iChat. That means, also, that I don't want to have to play with messy port forwarding or triggering
Alternatively, I would be happy to hear about other solutions that worked.
Thanks in advance.

Say you want to upgrade your router in a year, you still have the modem... or say you move or something and switch provider, get cable or whatever else... you still have a router... If one breaks you still have the other, with the combo, you got to change both... Just my opinion, I am sure they have the same features too
I have this http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=530 and I have been very happy with it, all my macs can get on ichat at anytime, back to my mac works fine etc...

He means the RDP server, that is running on the machine you are trying to access at 192.168.1.5
That is defined as a static address on the machine?
You did this presumably
Start Registry Editor.
Locate and then click the following registry subkey:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\PortNumber
On the Edit menu, click Modify, and then click Decimal.
Type the new port number, and then click OK.
Quit Registry Editor.
Restart the computer
and have gone back to check it?
Are you running windows firewall on that machine? If so maybe you have to set the firewall to allow the new port number before you connect to this computer by using the Remote Desktop connection.

Cannot Port Forward RV042 in "Router" Mode

I use an RV042 exclusively as our VPN host to our main network for branch office connectivity. The RV042 is configured in Router Mode and does not provide Internet / NAT access to the LAN. I would like to add an additional role to this unit by having it Port Forward web requests to an internal Web Server. It appears that the router cannot do Port Forwarding while configured in Router mode; can you confirm this to be true? Is there a work around or an alternate configuration that would allow me to port forward web requests from the Internet to my Internal Web Server and still keep the RV042 in Router only mode?
Thanks

Mike,
The port forwarding feature only works in the context of NAT. This is true for all small business routers.

How to port forward on time capsule for share center dlink?

https://www.dropbox.com/s/5yl5c86xfll0rkr/Screen%20Shot%202012-06-07%20at%208.20 .59%20PM.png

Please explain the whole network..
Start with the modem.. what broadband do you have?
What modem and is it a modem router or straight modem?
Is the share centre using dhcp or static IP?
I am not sure how sensitive the TC is to port forwarding to static IP addresses but if it works ok, then use that.. simply set the Dlink to
10.0.1.254 as its IP.
255.255.255.0 as its subnet.
10.0.1.1 as both gateway and dns.
This is assuming the TC is at its default address. if not it won't work.
From the summary page tell me what IP the TC is at.
In the port forwarding box you use that IP.. 10.0.1.254
Use same port in as out.. and it makes no difference if you fill in both udp and tcp. Apply it and then apply port 80.
If it still fails, it has to be something else.
Are you using 5.6 utility??

Best modem/router for AEBS that actually works?!

Hi,
I have had so many problems with my AEBS it's unbelievable! If someone could suggest a modem/router that works well with the AEBS so i can set up my wireless network that would be great! So far i have tried the netgear DM111P modem & the d-link 320T modem. Both do not seem to work, i can get onto the internet connecting directly to each of the modems but when i comes to connecting to the internet through the AEBS with the modem attached there is nothing. But i can connect one computer if the AEBS is in bridge mode, which is pointless as i need to share the connection. So any suggestions to help me or on a modem/router which will actually work, i would appreciate it a lot!
Many thanks!

Best modem/router for a Mac / PC Combo

Hey guys
I've got a mac pro and macbook pro hooked up to an aging Netgear modem/router - the former via ethernet, the latter via wireless. I also use it for a wired connection to my playstation 3 and a Windows PC
I basically need a new, faster modem/router that works well with both mac and PC. One day I'll bin the PC, but for the moment, it's part of the equation
I need at least 3 ethernet connections (high speed if poss), and support for 108 / wimax / mimo / N / whatever protocol happens to be out there
I know I won't get the 'perfect' router but am prepared to compromise in certain areas.
Price is a factor, but I'll spend more on something robust
Any help appreciated - sorry if my explanation if oversimplistic, but that's how I like it
Cheers, L

How to DHCP port forward on Dlink Router

Greetings,
I have 3 computers on a LAN. Powerbook G4 (Mac OSX Server 10.4.11), Macbook Lepoard (OSX 10.5.2), and Windows XP. I have Dlink Wireless Router (DIR-625). My Powerbook is connected to router via ethernet cable. the others connect wireless.
i want to use Powebook G4 running server to act has DHCP Server, and NAT. Currently, I setup Dlink to act as a Wireless Access Point by turning of router's DHCP server. I assigned Powerbook a static IP address then turned on DHCP server with DHCP ranges. (no overlapping). Then I assigned Dlink a ip address outside of the range. I turned off everything. Then turned on devices in this order.
1. Router
2. PowerBook
3. Other computers
When I check my Macbook connection. It self-assigns IP and does receive DHCP from Server. I checked all settings. But no luck. Is there another way to do this? should i be port forwarding instead?
Confused
Thank you
