Port Forwarding for Xbox Live

My eyes are burning from trolling the boards all day. Just picked up an AEBS (12:33 PM CST, 4/20/08), firmware's at 7.3.1, connected the ol' xbox and got a "moderate" on my NAT test. Thats fine, totally expected, no big deal, right? So here's what I do:
1. Assign static ip ads to all machines on the network (xbox is 10.0.1.3)
2. Check to see if NAT is enabled in airport utility: Yep.
3. Enter in the ports as usual:
Public UDP Port(s): 88,3074
Public TCP Port(s): 3074
Private IP Address: 10.0.1.3
Private UDP Port(s): 88,3074
Private TCP Port(s): 3074
The above, BTW, is exact as far as commas and spaces go.
4. Update!
Then, NAT test= Moderate.
OK, it'd be nice if there was a standardized way to forward ports on all routers, I think, no big deal, just need to do a little tinkering.
I put a space after the comma between 88 and 3074, i.e., instead of 88,3074 I did 88, 3074. Moderate. I tried putting a dash in there (88-3074) wouldn't even let me do that, but of course we all already knew that. Tried rearranging all the ports randomly (3074,88). Nope. Well, even though I just gave the machine a static ip address, might as well try a DHCP lease: enter Airport ID. Nothing. Try it again with Ethernet ID. Nothing. I've got an idea, I'll make multiple separate port mapping profiles:
xbox 1: Public UDP Port(s): 88...
xbox 2: Public UDP Port(s): 3074...etc.
NAT test= Moderate.
Hmm, Oh they make port forwarding management software? Lighthouse, eh? I'll try that...oh, it doesn't do anything: Moderate.
I tried a bunch of other things that I knew would be futile, but I've been working on this thing for a couple of hours now and I can't remember them...Oh and by the way, for those not familiar with xbox live: "Moderate"= not good.
I'll telepathically make you feel better if you can help me out.
Love ya,
Boo

Thanks for the prompt reply Duane. Just to clarify: I need another wireless router? I thought airport express was one. I was trying to configure the ports of the airport express's basestation. My connection system is:
-An ADSL 2mbps connection that comes into my home from a phone line and into a D-link GLB 802C modem
-This connects to an Airport Express
-My macbook pro uses the net through the wifi signal provided
-I connect the macbook pro to the xbox through an ethernet cable (mainly because it's far from the adsl router)
I have read that one can forward ports with airport express...

Port forwarding for XBOX One on Airport 6.3.1

Hi there, firstly i'm going to have to say i'm not particularly technical whatsoever when it comes to computers but i'll try and be as precise as possible.
I purchased an XBOX One console last week along with several games. They all work fine both offline and online for multiplayer gaming.......all that is except for Call of Duty Ghosts. When I load this game up with the disc in the drive the multiplayer option only allows me to select 'Local Play' (offline with bots essentially). I've tried erasing profiles, deleting and re-installing the game but the same issue happens. As I say, every other game works fine when it comes to playing online.
I spoke to Microsoft who informed me that my ISP (Suddenlink) will open up the following ports: Port 88 (UDP), 374 (UDP and TCP), 53 (UDP and TCP) and 80 (TCP) and that they will also do 'double NAt-ting'. I contacted my ISP and they informed me that they can't do that due to all sorts of security risks - trojan virus etc - and that if I want those ports to be open I will have to do it myself or "get somebody else to do it who is tech savvy".
If it helps I have an Arris modem (TM602G/115) and the router being used is the Airport Utility. According to my registered Apple product purchases it looks like I have an Airport Extreme 802.11n (4th Gen). Today I updated it to get the latest firmware/update so I think it's as up to date as it can be.
So essentially i'm wondering what screens to go into and what to type into the boxes to get this game to work so that I can play it online with friends because neither Microsoft or my ISP are willing/able to do this.
Thanks in advance,
Alex

For the record I did read the following post - I followed the instructions and changed the settings but i'm still presented with the 'Local Play' only options in the multiplayer section for Call of Duty Ghosts. Again, every other game works, it's just this one which is causing issues.

NAT configuration and Port Mapping for xBox

I'm looking for help with port mapping to open up the NAT for an xBox One. I'm working with the following network devices:
xBox One
DSL Modem: Embarq (ZyXEL) 660R series
Airport Extreme version 7.7.3
I understand the following from researching the issue:
The default settings for both devices block the ports needed for xBox Live.
Airport Extremes are not on the compatible list for xBox.
Port Mapping is better then creating a DMZ for the xBox.
The xBox needs its own manually set IP address.
I switched my Network>Router Mode from Off (Bridge Mode) to DHCP and NAT. I then created a DHCP Reservation and the Port Settings for that IP.
After doing this, the Airport would restart and display a warning - Double NAT. I figured this was because the 660 settings showed the NAT Mode to be SUA Only. The Edit Details link displayed an empty table where you edited the SUA/NAT Server Set. I switched from NAT Mode>SUA Only to None. So there was my Double NAT and I would have thought that would have removed one.
I also disabled the Firewall and Enabled the UPnP.
After restarts the Airport continued to display the Double NAT error. However, with the 660's NAT Mode set to None, the Internet was not there. Web browsers and email accounts replied with server not found.
Only with the 660 set to SUA Only and the Airport in Bridge Mode is the Internet accessible. I now have the details for the SUA filled out for the xBox's IP address and ports.
Hypothesis
Since both devices are acting as DHCP servers the port mapping is not working. Rather then have the 660 distribute IP addresses and then having the Airport distribute another range of numbers, I need to have both devices bridge and distribute one range of numbers. Currently the 660 is using the 192.168 range and the Airport is using the 10.0 range.
Am I correct? Any thoughts and suggestions are welcome.

Port forwarding through a double NAT.. is near impossible.. !!
And the xbox is so attuned to using UPNP it is very hard not to.. even port mapping is not a great fix. Since apple decided gamers did not count as users for Airports.. I think honestly it is best to bypass the airport and stick to upnp from the modem router.
What method of authentication does your ISP use? Because it is really better to use one router.
And in fact the router should be the Zyxel. If you plug the Xbox to the Zyxel running in full router mode, with the airport removed from the network does it work and open NAT??
If not replace the Zyxel with a modern listed router that is xbox compatible and bridge the airport to it.

Question about port forwarding 2 xbox 360s to get rid of NAT on one of them

I have a xbox 360 with the official xbox 360 wireless antenna that is already set up for port forwarding and my NAT is fine. My brother has a xbox 360 and he has a NAT problem but he doesn't have a official xbox 360 wireless antenna, he hooked up his laptop to his xbox 360 via ethernet cable and is using his laptops wireless card for the connection and he gets a NAT error when he tests his connection to xbox live. Is it possible to port forward 2 xbox's? I'm sure I have to set up some type of static IP for him but the thing is that I'm not sure what IP address to assign to him. If it is possible, would he have to use a static IP address on his laptop since he's using that for a wireless connection? If this is at all possible could someone post some step-by-step instructions on how I should set this up? Below I will give you what I have set up for my xbox 360 to open up my NAT I just want to know what static IP I can use for him. Can I use just any numbers?
In my port forwarding tab in my wireless modem I have the following:
and in my xbox i have the following settings:
IP address: 192.168.1.20
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
Primary DNS: 4.2.2.2
Secondary DNS: 192.168.1.1
I have all that entered for myself and my xbox NAT is open. I just need to set up his xbox if it is at all possible. Please help!!!
P.S. My router is a WRT54GS v2.0 with updated firmware, just incase you need that info.
Message Edited by nourotherleft on 01-08-2009 03:20 PM

ok that still didn't help me.... he still has a NAT problem.... I don't....I went to port triggering and added the ports that you described but it didn't open his NAT... If the connection is going through his laptop(acting like the xbox 360's wireless antenna) wouldn't either his laptop or his xbox need a static ip? because I had to set up my xbox manually with the following addresses:
ip: 192.168.1.20
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
default gateway: 192.168.1.1
primary dns: 4.2.2.2
secondary dns: 192.168.1.1
so in essence wouldn't his laptop need to be configured with some kind of static ip or something? because if he puts in what I just stated into his xbox it wont connect at all because I guess the ip's are conflicting....so what do I do now?

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 ...

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

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!

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.
