Port forwarding for online gaming...dumb question

Hi, I'm trying to set-up port forwarding for online gaming. There's a section that asks for port numbers, "Enter the starting numbers of the External Ports (the port numbers seen by users on the Internet)" Where do I find the numbers of the ports?

If the game isn't listed there, google for it.

Is BT Infinity good for Online Gaming...?

I see many people on coming on complaining that they are getting many disconenctions, lag, high ping rates etc...which leads me to my question, Is BT Infinity good for online gaming?

I came to infinity from VirginMedia where jitter is awful and your TBB graph would be full of yellow! On infinity my jitter is pretty much non existent and latency is very low.

HELP! SETTING FOR ONLINE GAMING.

Hi all reading this,
I am having trouble with my wiresless router (WRT54GS). I've got it all setup on my network for wireless and RJ45 data points. The problem is I don't know how to set up these ports for online gaming. The manual told me the ports it uses but does not mean anything to me when i'm trying to insert it into the router. Here's what the game manual tells me:
TYPE                        LOCAL                  REMOTE
udp                           any                          27900
tcp                             any                          29900
tcp                              any                        29901
tcp                            any                           6667
udp                            6500                       27900
udp                            6500                        any
tcp                             any                           28910
udp                            13139                        13139
udp                              any                           27900
tcp                              any                            28910
this is very confusing for me where to ener the data. I just need to know how to set it up.
Thanks

hi... logon to router's setup page, open I.E. and in the address bar typ 192.168.1.1 it would ask for username and password, put "admin" as a password (default password) without any username...click on "applications & gaming" >> port triggering and trigger these ports which you've mentioned in the post...

How do you set up Port Forwarding for ARD 2.2 in AEB N?

Help,
I'm a novice at Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) - not an IT guy, so it has to be pretty basic and detailed.
How do you set up Port Forwarding for ARD 2.2 on the Apple Airport Extreme BS router, 802.11 N. I have one at each end of the internet connection. At one end I have an Airport Extreme N router with 2 macs and eventually 1 windows XP machine (if I can) that I would like to be able to connect to over the interenet (the clients) and at the other end, I have a Mac with ARD 2.2 installed also with an Airport Extreme N router. Note: Both routers use Static IP addresses and all computers use static IP's internally not through DHCP. What are the settings or directions to do this.
I have read and printed out the directions for Configuration of ARD 3.0 that are posted many times in the ARD discusion group, but it uses a Linksys router ( http://www.starkpr.com/ard.htm posted by Dave Sawyer). The Mac router is different, particularly with the place to set a Private IP address. I'm not sure about alot of things, but especially about the Private IP address, what number do I set it to, the one that is in my Network connections list? It automatically changes to a different number in AE N setup for Port Forwarding (by one) as if it is not suppose to the same?????
Are there any directions available that are as straight forward for the Airport Extreme N router, as the one's that are listed here for the Linksys Router's? ( http://www.starkpr.com/ard.htm )
Any and All help will be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I know I should have 3.0 but bought 2.2 just weeks before 3.0 came out and they would not give me an upgrade price, so I'm waiting for 4.0 to upgrade.
Thanks,
Jim

Try the following for each AirPort Extreme ...
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:

Port forwarding for clientless SSL VPN access

Hello,
I am currently trying to set up clientless SSL VPN access for some remote sites that our company does business with. Since their machines are not owned by my company, we don't want to install/support a VPN client. Therefore, SSL is a great option.
However, I'm running into an issue. I'm trying to set up port forwarding for a few remote servers. These remote servers are different and have distinct IP addresses. They are attempting to connect with two different servers here.
But my issue is that both servers are trying to use the same TCP port. The ASDM is not letting me use two different port forwarding rules for the same TCP port. The rules can exist side-by-side, but they cannot be used at the same time.
Why? It's not trying to access the same TCP port on a server when it's already in use. Is there anyway I can get around this?
If this doesn't make sense, please let me know and I'll do my best to explain it better.

Hi Caleb,
if you mean clientless webvpn port-forwarding lists, then you should be able to get your requirments. even the same port of the same server can be mapped to different ports bound to the loopback IP.
CLI:
ciscoasa(config) webvpn
ciscoasa(config-webvpn)# port-forward PF 2323 192.168.1.100 23
ciscoasa(config-webvpn)# port-forward PF 2300 192.168.1.200 23
then you apply the port-forwarder list under a group-policy
Hope this helps

Port Forwarding for L2TP/IPSec VPN Behind Verizon Actiontec MI424WR-GEN2 Rev. E v20.21.0.2

I've got a NAS setup with various services running on custom ports to help minimize exposure (especially to script kiddies). I've tested everything both internally and externally to confirm they all work, and even had someone at a remote location confirm accessibility as well. Port forward configurations performed on the Actiontec are working well.
I installed an L2TP/IPSec VPN server, tested internally and it connected successfully. So for all intents & purposes, this validates that the VPN server is correctly configured to accept inbound connections and functioning correctly.
I logged into the Verizon Actiontec MI424WR router, setup port forwarding for UDP ports 500, 1701 & 4500.
Note: I added the AH & ESP protocols based on what I saw on the built-in L2TP/IPSec rules
With the port forwarding in place, I tested VPN externally but it didn't connect.
I've done the following so far to no avail:
Double & triple checked the port forwards, deleted & recreated the rules a few times to be sure
There are no other pre-existing L2RP/IPSec port forward rules or otherwise conflicting port forward rules (e.g.: another rule for ports 500, 1701 or 4500)
There was an L2TP port triggering rule enabled, that I toggled on and off with no change
Verified the firewall on VPN server had an exclusion for L2TP, or that the firewall is off. (Firewall is off to reduce a layer of complexity, but it worked internally to begin with so I doubt that's the issue.)
Since it works internally, and there are no entries in the logs on the device indicating inbound connections, I'm convinced its an issue with the Verizon Actiontec router. But unfortunately, I'm not sure what else to try or where else to look to troubleshoot this. For instance, is there a log on the router that I can view in real time (e.g.: tail) that would show me whether or not the inbound connection attempt is reaching the device, and whether or not the device allowed or blocked it?
My router details:
Verizon Actiontec
MI424WR-GEN2
Revision E
Firmware 20.21.0.2
Verizon Actiontec built-in L2TP/IPSec rule templates. They're not currently in use, but are baked into the firmware for easy configuration/selection from a drop down menu.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

normally a vpn on that router, will have a GRE tunneling protocol as well.
two ways to build the PF rules,
Manually
Preconfigured
I know the preconfigured VPN rules will do the GRE protocol as well, but if you do it by hand you can't get it.

Problems with Port Forwarding for RDP in WebVPN

Hi,
I'm hoping somebody can help me solve this problem that's been bugging for weeks. We recently implemented a double-layer firewall architecture. Before that, our users can access RDP via port forwarding on WebVPN or the Cisco VPN client without any problems.
After we implemented the double-layer firewall architecture, users who are going through the WebVPN and port forwarding for RDP began to experience frequent disconnections, slowness or freezing connections. The users who are using the client are fine.
I checked the logs and I'm getting repetitive TCP-O for the port forwarding connections for RDP. Additional information: the FW we installed as a 2nd layer is Netscreen. I've already set the policy on it to Any-Any for the meantime to help in troubleshooting but to no avail.
I hope somebody can help me in sorting this out as I'm kind of confused on the difference between the port-forwarding for RDP via the WebVPN and the normal RDP via the client.

Hi,
I didnt see anything marked with red in the above? (Atleast when I was reading)
I have not really had to deal with Routers at all since we all access control and NAT with firewalls.
But to me it seems you have allowed the traffic to the actual IP address of the internal server rather than the public IP NAT IP address which in this case seems to be configured to use your FastEthernet4 interfaces public IP address.
There also seems to be a Static NAT configured for the same internal host so I am wondering why the Static PAT (Port Forward) is used?

I have the new Air Port Extreeme model A1521 and I need to set up port forwarding for HTTP. HTTP is not on the list in the set up. Does anyone know if any of those choices work for HTTP?

I am on a Windows 7 Ultimate PC and right now there is no Airport utility for setting up the new Apple Extreme so you have to do it on your iPad or iPhone. Does anyone know how to set up port forwarding for HTTP to get to DVR security cameras? There is nothing in the list that indicates HTTP port forwarding.

Thanks for your reply Tesserax as I did figure this out on my own. It took a bit because all of the options are not clear what they are for like the previous Airport Extreme and Apple does not support or guarantee that port forwarding will work for you application nor did any of the Apple support persons I spoke too have any knowledge for this feature. You also have to fill in the public if you are viewing through someone else's Wi-Fi or on your cell phone carrier network. This new Airport Extreme is a bit different since you cannot use the Airport utility on a PC like the older model and if anyone else is reading this they should be aware that if you do not have an Apple computer, iPhone or iPad and I'm not sure if some of the other network enabled devices like iPod Touch that you must use that can do it, there is no Airport utility for the PC and you would be wasting your money or have to take it back and get another brand wireless router to use if you do not own any of the above mentioned Apple products.

Not enough port fields in port forwarding for Linksys E4200

I have always used netgear routers in the past. After a series of issues regarding configurations not working correctly I invested in what appeared to be a semi pro router, the cisco linksys e4200.
I have a centralized server which I use to access a mass of different services such as mail, dns, VPN, FTP, Kerberos, http and many more. While I am not a massive networking nerd, this server setup is like my garage project. To access these services externally to my LAN as far as I understand I would need to configure port forwarding for each service to my server. Unfortunately the control panel for the linksys E4200 only offers about 15 custom port fields for forwarding, and some documentation I have read shows that with it's basic install my server could be using up to 60 ports at once.
Is this router just not suitable for this sort of network. If so I will be very disappointed because I have spent a quarter of the price on netgear routers with more control than this.
If anybody could assist with details and options I would greatly appreciate it

Wrong forum, use "small business routers".

Homehub 5 port forwarding for Windows Homeserver 2...

Hi
Has anybody any solutions on setting up the HH5 for Windows Homeserver 2011
I've inputted all the rules manually as WHS couldn't complete the task, to find ports 80, 443, 4125 remain closed after manual input.
WHS reply's with UPnP not working / router not working.
BT customer services quite appalling and I'm not paying for Tech Support as the package is only 6 months old and I feel I shouldn't have to pay for a product that isn't working correctly, if it was over 12 months I understand I should pay.
I've manually inputted and setup port forwarding for my Iphone app and Android and they've finally started working.
Cheers
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Can you just put WHS in the DMZ on the HH5?

Help with port forwarding for the WRT54G

I need assistance please!
I am having issues trying to setup port forwarding for a ftp. I already have set this up for a SQL Server port and it works remotely. When I setup another rule for ftp using port range 20-21 it does not work.
I have confirmed that I have saved my settings, have the correct IP address, etc. I have firmware version 4.21.1 and not sure how to troubleshoot this. Any help would be great.
Thanks,
John

Yes you do need to have the port already forwarded for port 20~21 with both TCP/IP and UDP enabled unless you know for sure your ftp only uses just one of them. That is why I asked what port your SGL was set to. Follow the link that other guy posted and open port 20 and 21 (I only use 21 with no problems) and make sure it is directed to the IP of the ftp host. Also that PC needs to have the FTP enabled in windows. To do that go to your control panel > add/remove software > and on the left side go to add/remove windows components. Then check the box for the ftp and add it. It should ask for your windows CD do have it handy when you add the ftp component to your PC.
