Problem with Port Forwarding in WRT320N

Good day.
I have a web-server and Internet-radio translator to local network of my provider. And I found a problem with Port Forwarding. I'm trying to setup 80 & 8000 ports to forward. And it's working but only for Internet, without provider's local network. My web-server isn't accessible in local network and radio-translator too.
So is it possible to forward ports absolutely - for any type of connections?
P.S. DMZ is working like Port Forwarding.

If you ask questions you have to mention that you have an PPTP connection to the internet and another network directly on the internet port. Otherwise noone will really understand your question as it is a very unusual setup.
Your setup is not one really supported by the router. You are lucky that it works but don't expect too much. Port forwarding only the internet connection. If you use PPTP the network on the internet port is basically hidden. Using that local network on the internet port is not supported.
The DMZ host is the IP address to which all ports are forwarded to which are not forwarded otherwise. The same restriction applies here.
I would recommend to ask your ISP which router they recommend for their internet connection. I think most/all Linksys routers and many other brand's consumer routers won't really support a setup like yours...

Please Help, Setting up router and AirPort with port forwarding

If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated.
I have a DSL Router supplying my internet connection, this is then connected to my AirPort Base station and distributes my internet connection to my two Macs and my two iPhones. Everything is working fine, however I want to forward some of the ports and I cannot do this since the base station is in bridge mode. If I take the AirPort base station out of bridge mode it gives me an error that say's Double NAT.
Thanks in advance for any help.

"When the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) is in bridge mode every port is already forwarded directly through the AEBS. ... Therefore the option to forward ports is unneeded and not available."
I don't believe this to be true. Isn't port forwarding done on the router and not the AEBS, as it is not a router?
Go into your DSL router by typing the routers address (found in the network pane in system preferences) into your browser's window. This should take you to your log-on page on your router.

Port forwarding settings don't last

Hi I have a synology NAS I set up the port forwarding and all worked fine, confirmed open port 80, all OK
All settings within home hub 2 have not been changed but now the NAS does not respond, and port 80 can no longer be seen any ideas please

There is a guide here.
Port forwarding problems
I assume that you are using a DDNS service to update your IP address, and you have manually configured a static IP address for the device on your LAN?

Port forwarding for EYEMAX DVR on WIn Server 2012

We were using router as a network controller in our lan. Now we replaced router with the Server (win 2012 r2 essentials). We have a EYEMAX DVR client software to connect to a remote ip in the web.
Previously, on the router i had port forwarding setup and EYEMAX was working. When we replaced router with a server i can no longer connect. I guess there are similar setting to be made on a server, but i can't find what to do. It is definitely
not a Firewall (when i turn it off EYEMAX still don't work).
There is an instruction ( http://site.camtechsurveillance.com/downloads/remoteacc.pdf ) how to setup a router to work, but i don't know how to apply similar changes on the server.
TL;DR.
How to do same stuff on the server as here http://site.camtechsurveillance.com/downloads/remoteacc.pdf

Hmm I probably would have left the router in the circuit. You might ask over here.

Port forwarding for Warcraft 3 - no other posts have helped me solve this :

Hi everyone,
At risk of flogging a dead horse, I am having trouble with port forwarding/port mapping on my new AEBS and need help.
Warcraft 3 requires ports 6112-6119 open, which I had successfully set up through the Router Management Interface of my router (Speedstream 536 v6). Since I've set up the airport and run the router through it, I've been unable to host/join games on Warcraft, due to ports not being open.
I've since gone back in to the router setup and attempted to configure it. I've tried sending the open port traffic to the base station, to the computer, and a combination of each, but nothing seems to fix it.
Aside from port forwarding, it is working fine. My internet connection is flawless (a little slower than before airport ... or perhaps my imagination?), my Wii and XBOX360 both find the network fine (360 hard wired over ethernet due to wireless security issues ... see other threads!), but I can't play my warcraft games.
The help system (and some of the other threads on here) direct me to the Airport Utility -> Advanced -> Port Mapping. The problem is that on my advanced pane I only see:
- Logging and SNMP
- Bonjour
- IPv6
I've tried restarting the AEBS but get no joy. Is there something I'm doing that is fundamentally wrong? Can anyone help me? I'm not sharing the connection with any other computers, just wii and xbox, if that makes any difference.
If there's anything else you'd need to know, please ask me.
I look forward to your responses, and any help is most appreciated.
Regards,
GH

The IP address of my iMac is 10.0.0.1; the address of the Speedtouch is 10.0.0.138; the AEBS is 10.0.0.2, and the xbox360 (which the speedtouch sees as "Generic device") is 10.0.0.4.
On the speedtouch setup page, there's a lot of long-winded gibberish which I don't really understand, but perhaps it'll be of some use to someone more knowledgable on the topic. Each device has the following information:

Nginx client_ip in log file, with ssh -R Port forwarding

Hi, everyone!
First, I run a nginx server M1 (in my offce) behind a router R1 and M1's IP addr is 192.168.5.126. I set nginx's log format like this:
log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
'$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
'"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';
After that, I will get the correct client ip in the access log.
192.168.5.88 - - [21/Apr/2015:11:12:47 +0800] "GET /js/date.js HTTP/1.1" 200 403 "http://192.168.5.126/" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/41.0.2272.118 Safari/537.36" "-"
Then, I want to visit M1 outside (in the campus) . Unfortunately, I can do nothing with the router R1. But I have a router R2 whose framework is OpenWrt and its IP 222.xx.xx.xx can be visited by anyone who has logged into the campus network.
Then I wrote a autossh service to do that:
[Unit]
Description=AutoSSH service for local port 80 forwarded to 222.xx.xx.xx:80
# place this in /etc/systemd/system/, than enable this.
After=network.target

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Yeah, It works! BUT BUT when someone visits 222.xx.xx.xx, I lost the the client ip in nginx log file. That would always be 127.0.0.1, why?
127.0.0.1 - - [27/Apr/2015:00:34:07 +0800] "GET /static/mathjax/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS_HTML HTTP/1.1" 304 0 "http://222.xx.xx.xx:808/url/jakevdp.github.com/downloads/notebooks/XKCD_plots.ipynb" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.9; rv:37.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/37.0" "-"
After ``ssh -R Port forwarding``, client ip is lost?
If so, what should I use to replace ``ssh -R``?

It seems there is a port forwarding configuration trouble with you modem.
When you access from the WAN or from the LAN, you don't enter in you modem the same way, so the behavior is different.
It seems that the port 22 of your modem is not directly forwarded to your server. The modem itself asks you a login/password. The key-pair authentification is between laptop and server. The modem itself is not recognized during this authentification.
Don't touch your ssh-config. It's OK since it was working for monthes before you change your modem.

Help setting up port forwarding for Ekiga

Hi
I am trying to set up Ekiga on my Arch X86_64 box but I can't get port forwarding to work on the Thomson TG585v7 wireless router, which I am sharing with a neighbor. I have tried some how-to's I found via Google and set up Application/Game Sharing for the ports Ekiga uses. I also set up static IP connection as it seems to be needed by the router for port forwarding to work but Ekiga still reports that it cannot set up my network connection and asks me to set up port forwading manually, which I have already done.
I would very much appreciate any help to get Ekiga going for me.
My thanks in advance.

graysky wrote:No idea for you specific hardware but should be pretty trivial. http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Enable_ … g_manually
Thanks, but the problem is that setting up the router doesn't seem to work. I checked and repeated the set up a few times but no result. I feel I am missing a little detail somewhere but can't put my finger on it :-(

Port forwarding only works for BT customers..

Hi, I have a little bit of a strange issue and i'm hoping somebody could help.
What I have is various devices NAS/IPcam/VNC etc, previously I had ports forwarded to these devices and all was working ok, i could reach them via the WAN address.
What I have currently is that the WAN address my router tells me I have is a 100. address and sites such as whatismyip.com tell me the 81. address (im not sure if this is normal but I think it is?).
The problem I have is that port forwarding now only seems to work if i try and connect to my devices from BT connection using the 100. address. The 81. address is unreachable from BT or other ISP's and sites that check for open ports tell me the ports are closed. I have tried several routers as i initially thought it was an issue with my router but they all give the same problem.
Not sure if any more information would be required but from the testing ive done it doesnt seem like a issue with my router. Any ideas? CAn provide more info if needed, just ask.

If you enter the IP address on this page http://www.whatismyip.com/ip-tools/ip-whois-lookup/
you can see who it belongs to.
But I suspect that its something within your router that is returning the wrong WAN address. Do you have an ADSL connection, or an Infinity connection?
Yo may have difficulty connecting to your own external WAN address from within your own network, unless your router has NAT loopback enabled.

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 with Verizon-Branded Action GT704-WG

I am new to the forums, and I am already overjoyed with the 30 minutes I spent figuring out that the login mechanism does not even work with browsers other than IE7/8. Lots of fun to start.
I live in a residential building with the residential High Speed Internet Plan. I assume this is the case because it is a DSL line and they are not using business grade, or I do not think I would be having these problems.
I have spent many hours trying to figure out how to port forward with the above-mentioned router/modem/gateway/**bleep** extraordinnaire. I am in IT professionally, and I am tired of feeling **bleep**. I called Verizon tech, but they were very unhelpful unless I pay for a premium tech service to figure out port forwarding problems. And yes, I have read the info on port-forward.com numerous times for this device.
Essentially, I want to forward an arbitrary port, let's say 6336, to a server running Ubuntu 9.10. I have put this computer in the DMZ using the web interface. I have also set up a mapping rule to forward 6336 (all three entries pointed to 6336 in the Security/Applications/Forwarding section, following docs on port-forward.com for this specific model AND Verizon's own documentation). Occassionally, I can see the service is viewable from the likes of canyouseeme.org. Nonetheless, I cannot access the port: I get a connection refused error when using ssh on this port. Yes, I correctly configured ssh on the DMZ server/host to respond to the non-standard 6336 port, and I have tried it with the server's firewall system (ufw/iptables, for the curious) enabled and disabled. It NEVER works.
Some posts here have indicated I might need a static IP assignment. That can be done only client-side (meaning the Ubuntu server in the DMZ), if I understand people saying it is not possible to do static assignments from this **bleep** gateway, so I am not sure if that should matter (I wonder what happens with this **bleep** when two computers try to demand the same static IP; dare I guess that he asks first wins?). I cannot recall if I have uPnP enabled or disabled as I am at the office right now, but I believe it is off. Not sure if this matters either. If I am wrong, I would love if someone could let me know. I am at a loss and sick of dealing with such a simple problem. I would really appreciate the help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ok.
#1 On your computer setup a Static IP.
This means following the directions at http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-con...
#2 The Static IP must be outside of that DHCP range of the router. So, this means your IP has be above 1 but below 64.
#3 In the router forward to the IP Address that you setup on the computer.
OR if the router can give the computer the same IP Address each time, you could do that.

Port forwarding Time Capsule Airport 7.6.3

Network problems. I want to run a free software called Maptool 1.3b89. I created some sweet maps in OS version 10.7.5, and assembled players, but I can't connect with other computers. I have the Time Capsule (router) with Airport version 7.6.3, updated, Cisco cable modem. I updated Java when I installed Maptool, less than a month ago.
The Maptool Networking FAQ says UPnP is by far the easiest approach, furthermore,"(An alternative is called NAT-PMP, but they are functionally the same so the second won't be mentioned again.) "This sounds as if one can plow ahead and get the same result. Believing they were functionally the same, I enabled NAT-PMP, attempted to connect with the UPnP box checked, and Maptool returned: "no internet gateway devices found UPnP port mapping will not be available."
So I asked, "If I get the server enabled, will it work for windows, or just for mac clients? Is this where it is functionally the same?"
Here is the response, though I'm not certain it addresses my concern: "The NFAQ is incorrect if it says that NAT-PMP is the same as UPNP. NAT-PMP is a new protocol from Apple that only applies to the AirPort routers, although a lot of other routers now support it as well. I'll fix the FAQ. There will be a b90 build either tonight or tomorrow that will fix the UPNP bug, but it won't help with NAT-PMP since it's a different protocol. I'll see if I can find a way to support NAT-PMP but it's not likely to be soon."
Does that translate to, give up or get a different computer, Mac user?
I searched these forums. The suggestions aren't talking about version 7.6.3 of Airport. They tell you to go to port mapping, which is not an option/selection offered. The most useful post says my version of Airport is a toy hammer with no functionality, go get old Airport, version 5.6. Did that using Unpkg. Did not run both airports at the same time. Followed another post that referenced Bit Torrent, thus, I enabled Nat-PMP, and mapped all four ports to 51234, the default port for Maptool. Airport 5.6 returned: The airport utilty was unable to find your Airport wirless device after restarting, the settings for this wirless device have successfully updated, but there was a problem rejoining the wirless network or finding the Airport wireless device. you may need to select your network from the Wi-fi menu and try again.
Lost wireless. Did a backup from Time machine and still couldn't connect wirelessly. Restarted and the wirless returned.
The NFAQ says UPnP won't work with port forwarding (at the same time) but that is what seems to need to happen on a Mac. I tried portforward.com. Does not have my router. Followed instructions for the only featured Apple/Macintosh product, Airport Extreme. Not even close.
I have clicked all the advanced buttons and menu choices through Airport and through (settings)network, and figured out you can click on the + sign. The outdated portforward.com info says, "enter both the public and private boxes with the same port number," and shows two boxes, but I have four boxes: IPV4 port mapping, public (and private) UDP ports, Public (and private) TCP ports. Should I fill all four with port 51234 and use the provided IP address?
I can't make my IP address static. I followed the portforward guide and lost my internet connection. Portforward Open Port check tool says, "this program cannot be run in dos mode," with a giant code strip following. Excuse my ignorance, but why is a dos program set up to run a test that is embedded in a Macintosh installation guide? Is that an emulator or a different dos? Shouldn't it be Unix or something? It says if I have no internet connection (which I don't at this point) to restore my original settings. Futile. The user guide offered here isn't my software version but it says to enable NAT-PNP and give the ip adress to the host, but Maptool isn't going to use this special IP because it will only see the public one, right?
I was tempted to buy one of their products like PCconfig but here is what they say, "Instead of manually configuring your network router, just pick your app from a list and update your router with a single click." but they don't bother to indicate whether it works for mac, don't feature my router, and it says you must pick an app, but Maptool is not featured in the giant list of users that, "you are forwarding ports for." I tried to download PF Setup Static IP Address but the download was a Windows app, so I couldn't run it.
I have tried just enabling Nat-PMP by itself, Canyouseeme.org returns "firewall or ISP is blocking certain parts, error, I could not see your service on (my IP address) port 51234." I have tried port mapping by itself to port 51234, which causes the time capsule to crash, requiring a backup and reboot to restore the wireless network, and both together, which is contrary to the way it is supposedly done with UPnP.
If I installed Windows that wouldn't change how it networks. What is my next step, buy another router?
Downloaded Hamachi. The tutorial no longer launches. The tech data has removed the mac screen shots and not replaced them, but I can see the headings and blank spots where they should be. I assume they aren't supporting new mac users. Logmein was just as obscure. I don't feel very confident about either product. The freeware Virtual Network Provider gets reviews like, "hard to use," and "complex interface."
Thanks in advance for your consideration.

If you want to use maptool and it is only going to work with UPNP type router. Then simply replace the TC with a standard router.. it is less than $100 for a very reasonable one like Netgear WNDR3800 which has 3rd party firmware like dd-wrt, openwrt and gargoyle as well as netgear which is pretty but lacks features.
Bridge the TC and keep it as backup target for TM which is what it does best.. and wireless AP for apple devices.

Port forwarding with E2000 for a game called Minecraft.

Okay, I've been wanting to port forward this game called Minecraft for quite awhile now, but never got around to it, but now that I've wanted to let my friends that can't play with hamachi play with me. I wanted to port forward it so that they go into the game without using hamachi, or any other networking program. If anyone knows how to acomplish this with a guide for this then it would be nice, or just simply write out instructions. I've already tried once and whenever I ran my server, I would say "FAILED TO BIND TO PORT" or just ask me this "Is another _____ running on that port?" Thanks for helping guys,

Yea it looked okay. Go to cmd, then type in ipconfig. Look for your ipv4 address. Now make sure that address is the same as the one that you set up port forwarding for in your router.
Make sure you have reserved that ip by going to 192.168.1.1--->Basic Setup--->DHCP Reservation---> (your PC). Now restart your PC. The important thing is to make sure that your local ip matches everything (Port forward, server.properties, and the DHCP Reservation Table)
Now go to the .bat files that you downloaded for the minecraft server. You should see a file called "server.properties". Go into it and make sure that the server ip matches your local ip (192.168.1.4 for example). If not, change it. Here's a reference video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MJVNxPtmtM

RVS4000; Port Forwards bypass IP ACL; How to filter

I am using a RVS4000. I am forwarding several ports to a specific host on the LAN. Nonetheless, I wish the IP ACL in the firewall to block incoming traffic from the WAN unless the IP ACL allows. However, it seems that any port which is forwarded happens prior to and bypasses the ACL rules. How do I block traffic from "bad" addresses when the destination port is in the forwarding table?

By George, I think I've got it! (Well, I've narrowed it down anyway.) So, I've got an RVS4000 with firmware version V2.0.0.3 and I've been trying to do a similar thing: I have a NAS sitting on my local LAN with a horribly insecure FTP server on it. I would like my mainframe to send files to that server. But I don't want the rest of the friggin Internet beating on it.
So, I set up a Single Port Forward and two ACL rules, as described by tekliu above. Alas, just like michaelrach above, every address in the Internet was able to get through the firewall on port 21.
I read all the posts, asked all the experts, swore a lot, wailed and gnashed my teeth. Then I set up a test and banged away for a while.
First, I took Tekliu exactly at his word and try adding (#2) a Deny for everybody and (#1) an Allow for the single IP address I want in. That worked! The right host can get in and the wrong host can't. I'm ready to turn out the lights and go home.
But I wanted to figure out why my initial attempt (and those of the others who posted here) didn't work and this one did. After much guessing, I discovered that if you specify an Allow range of x.y.4.2 thru x.y.4.254, it works correctly.
If you specify an Allow range of x.y.1.1 thru x.(y+1).1.1 it lets everybody through.
x.y.4.2 thru x.y.128.254 works correctly.
x.y.4.2 thru x.y.200.254 lets evrybody through.
It's the binary difference between the start and end address! I didn't feel like narrowing it down farther. But to someone who understand this stuff, this has to be a real good clue as to why it's failing.

Hi guys, would anyone be able to tell me what the above messages in my HH3's log mean? My connection has been fine but I would like to know why this is happening every few seconds.
At first I thought it was because of a certain program I was using but it happens even when this program isn't running so I just don't know!! Any help is appreciated.
EDIT: So I'm guessing it's something to do with having UPnP turned on. The reason I'm asking is because I've seen other people's logs and they aren't filled with this message.

Thanks, TommyBobbins.
I will turn off UPnP and see what happens.
I checked the logs again my computer has a lease of 192.168.1.64 - this IP address is also showing the same error in the logs. I suspect the other IP address, ending in 65 is my Dad's computer. He uses Windows and I use Mac.
I'll keep you posted.
EDIT: Just turned off UPnP and that was OK. I checked a program called uTorrent and it says the incoming TCP port (54488) is working.....I find this strange as I have portforwarding turned off... :s
Any ideas?
EDIT AGAIN:
Just wanted to add this in:

As you can see it happens on different ports and UDP and TCP ports....
Hasn't happened in the 20mins or so I've had UPnP turned off. Still, I am curious as to what causes this.

Port Forwarding - don't ask
