Port forwarding router to connect to netflix

panasonic is telling me i have to port forward on router ( airport express) in order for me to connect to netflix. How do i do this?

As I stated this is not a feature of an Airport Express.
Normally, ports 80 and 443 are always open. The former is a standard http port. The latter is a standard https port typically used by email applications. Port 48705 is not used by OS X.
You will need a standard type of router such as an AEBS. An Airport Express is not a true router.

Port Forwarding/Router Firewall HELP

I'm trying to use my iSight built in cam with "aMSN" and they give me error messages when I configure. It says I have firewall/port issues to free up or something. Here's what help says to do:
"To do this, open your router web-based configuration (check router manual for details on this). Once you have the web-based configuration open, browse for a setting called "port forwarding" or "port range forwarding" or something similar to that. (This might be found under the advanced features for your router).
Now that you have the port forwarding page open, you will want to set the port forwarding range so that aMSN will be able to accept and send the webcam stream.
Here's an example of how you will set up your port forwarding:
Application: aMSN
Start: 6890
End: 6900
Protocol: Both(TCP & UDP)
IP: xxx.xxx.x.xxx
Enabled: X (Yes/True)
Note: xxx.xxx.x.xxx is the IP of your machine that you are trying to send / receive webcam
If you have a web server open on your port 80, you can try to disable it too, sometimes it helps. "
All I'm asking is how do I get to the port forwarding page to do what they have displayed above? I've tried Apple support topics on the subject and all were irrelevent or only dealt with iChat.
Any ideas? Thank you!

Are you using an Airport? If not, what type of router do you have connected? Each manufactor is different, but should provide the information in their manuals.

RV042 port forwarding / routing

Hello folks,
I'm having a really hard time tring to set up port forwarding to my LAN. Let me explain a bit of how my enviroment is set up.
RV042 -> MS-TMG (former ISA Server) -> LAN
RV042 WAN IP: Public IP (Does not matter)
RV042 LAN IP: 10.31.11.1
TMG WAN: 10.31.11.2
TMG LAN: 10.3.1.2
I've set up a port forwarding directing port 3002/TCP to 10.31.11.2 (TMGWAN) so that TMG can redirect to my LAN, but when I look at TMG Log, I see that the packages have the destination address of TMG WAN (10.31.11.2).
I don't know why RV042 is changing the destination address of the packages and for the TMG it seens that the packet is coming for him (wich is not true and it's not allowed).
I can't port forward to my lan (10.31.1.x directly bacause of the webinterface does not allow this).
I've also tried DMZ but the behavior is the same.
I've also tried uPnP but the packages are not arriving at TMG...
Here is the route table of RV042

Does anyone have a clue how can I get this thing working?

Hi Eric, the default state table may be the problem.
Try to make an access rule something like-
Action Deny
Service All
Source interface WAN
Source IP any
Destination IP any
Save
Action Permit
Service RDP
Source interface WAN
Source IP -xx.xx.xx.xx
Destination IP - xx.xx.xx.xx
Save

Port forwarding but can only connect to wifi in Bridge Mode

Hi
Our ISP is TalkTalk and we use their Fibre service which connects through a BT Open Reach Modem. The TalkTalk router seemed to causing drop outs in wifi on my macbook pro so I bought an Airport Time Capsule for the wifi router and to back up my mac.
We aren't issued with PPPoE details and the advice from the TalkTalk community was to connect with the Router in Bridge Mode. This has worked a treat with the various Apple and non Apple items we have in out house except one.
We have security cameras which we control through a Windows laptop and can view one out phones. To make this happen we have to set up port forwarding. However, we can't do this as it's in Bridge Mode (as far as I understand).
I'm afraid my knowledge of these things is very basic so I'm hoping that someone will have an easy answer to this. Anyone got any advice on how I can make this pretty white box do its stuff please?
Thanks in advance!

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".

Port Forwarding for Counter Strike Server - DSL Modem to Linksys Router then to my Laptop (wifi)

Hi,
i have read many posts here but did not find any solution. Below is my current situation.
Objective: I want to create a Counter Strike 1.6 Server and for that i have to forward port 27015.
Networking Issues: Im currently using a Shiro (Dsl Modem) which is given by my ISP & i have connected my DSL modem to my Linksys WRT54G (ver 7.2) router. I connect my laptop thorugh wifi to router.
I know basic port forwarding but that does not help me. I need a complete tutorial on this issue coz i dont have much network knowledge.
waiting for reply
thank you

Try this link to forward port for Counter Strike on the router.

Port Forwarding to Mac Pro with 2 different internet connections

I have my Mac Pro connected to the back of my cable modem. I have given this service the name "Cable" in my network preferences. The details are:
IP: xxx.xxx.xxx.100
Subnet: 255.255.248.0
Router: xxx.xxx.xxx.1
I have the other Ethernet port of my Mac Pro connected to the back of my Airport Extreme which runs ADSL+ from another ISP. I have called this service "ADSL". The details for this connection are:
IP: xxx.xxx.xxx.188
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
I run a calibre server on the Mac Pro and on my PC (the PC is directly plugged into the back of the Airport Extreme). I have a Dyndns service that works on the address of the Airport Extreme base station.
I can access the PC's calibre server via the mobile network but NOT the Mac's. Even though I have port forwarding to the Mac's reserved IP address of 188, I can't access the server. I can access it on my iphone/ipad via WIFI but not from the mobile network.
If in my Network preferences I change the order of the services i.e. make the ADSL the top service and cable the second, I CAN access the server from the mobile network. It works as it should. If I change the order so that the Cable service is on top, I can't access the server again.
Why does this happen? Can I fix this? Do I need to set up another Dyndns service on my Mac Pro?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am going to post this as a new post as well because I'm not sure whether the people that were so helpful last time will know that I have updated the post.

Just installed TeamViewer and we're using that. Works great.

Can not port forward on WRT54GS v6 "You cannot use the router IP"

Hello, I'm trying to open a port number, but when I try to use my router's IP, the following message appears
"You cannot use the router IP, network, or broadband address"
[IMG]http://i45.tinypic.com/107qond.jpg[/IMG]
My ADSL was working as a NAT behind a NAT connection, so I had to change my Local IP Address to 192.168.2.1.
Router: WRT54GS v6 firmware 1.52.8 (latest) - Bellsouth router: Westell 6100
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
   Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : launchmodem.com
   Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::40a9:a76e:61b3:6435%11
   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.100
   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.1
So, please help me, how can I open ports on my router? =[
PS: I tried to use 192.168.2.100, and even though it lets me use it, it still seems not to open that port... my IP is dynamic.

Generally: NAT behind NAT is a bad idea. There is usually no need for double NAT. Either configure the ADSL router as bridge and use the WRT for your internet connection or set up the WRT as simple access point behind the ADSL router.
It's also unclear to me what is working or not. First I thought you can't set up forwarding at all because you get that error message. Then, in your PS you write you tried to use 192.168.2.100 and that seemed to be possible. The IP address to forward to must be the IP address of the computer to which you want to forward. Thus 192.168.2.100 is exactly the IP address you have to set up. Does this work or not?
Also remember: with double NAT you must set up two forwardings: first on the ADSL router then on the WRT. Port forwarding is necessary to allow incoming traffic through NAT. All incoming traffic arrives on the ADSL router. Thus setting up port forwarding on the WRT only won't do a thing.
It's also not recommend to use dynamic IPs for forwarding destinations. Dynamic IP addresses may change over time and that requires you to adjust forwardings accordingly. It's better to reserve fixed IP addresses (if your WRT supports this) or set a static IP address on the computer outside the DHCP address pool.

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.

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.

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.

RV180W loses port forwarding rules when switching WAN connections

We have a backup WAN connection in our office, but we switch this connection manually on our RV180W when the primary goes down. Our normal connection is ADSL with PPPoE, and the backup is Cable with DHCP.
However, we also have some port forwarding rules for our VoIP PBX (UDP port 5060) as well as SSH, and these rules seem to stop working completely when we switch our WAN connection to our cable connection. We can still surf the web from our workstations, but our incoming phone calls and SSH connections all cease to work completely. The problem does not persist after we've switched back to our normal ADSL connection.
This behaviour is completely bizarre and suggests that there's some kind of bug in the Cisco RV180W.

helm,
I'm sorry, I wasn't clear which IP address renewal I am speaking about.
I believe that the problem is caused when the router renews the WHS's local IP address (192.168...). My WAN IP address remains unchanged througout the tests I performed and the problems I experienced.
The very act of changing the local clients' lease time in the router's configuration causes the forwarding to be lost immediately. (I am gusessing that when the lease time is changed, the router immediately renews the lease and begins a new countdown.)
(In fact, I might go as far as to say it is a bug in the firmware, but I haven't done enough testing to nail it down.)

Port forwarding: Base station as bridge or modem/router as bridge?

I use a modem/router (Netopia Cayman 3346) to connect to the internet. It's hooked up to my airport extreme (old round model) to go wireless.
I now would like to forward some ports. I understand you have to set either the airport station or the modem/router as a bridge and then forward the ports on the other device. Am I right so far?
My question: What is the difference (if any) to bridge either one of the devices? Any pros or cons in using Airport as port forwarding device or my netopia? Which one shall I set to bridge mode? Both allow to set port forwarding.
Thanks for clearing this up for me.
Gordon.

I'd like to forward some specific ports. For example port 36391 (TCP/UDP). I know that to do this I have to set one of the two devices as a bridge, and then configure the other device to forward the ports I want. I also know that I can either set up my base station as the bridge or my modem/router.
My question is: which one of the two shall I choose to use as bridge? Airport base station or modem/router? Does it matter or not which one I choose?
Thanks

Port-forwarding or UPnP on VERIZON FIOS modem/router

I'm trying to help someone access his home network remotely from another location. he just got the new Verizon FIOS network.
i'm new to the world of port-forwarding and UPnP forwarding, but have learned a lot in a short period of time.
I can easily setup port-forwarding and UPnP forwarding (necessary to setup the afp file sharing, screen sharing, etc) on Linksys routers that have those capabilities.
My friend just got the new Verizon FIOS network installed. It is smoking fast both up and down. We figured out that the box Verizon provided him (it's a fairly huge thing) is an internet modem, a router, and a wireless router all in one.
And once we accessed its control panel, I definitely saw places where we could configure port-forwarding........
but it's not quite as straightforward as it is on a Linksys router in that, on a Linksys, if I want to open a specific port, like 5900, for screen sharing, I can easily type in the numbers 5900 and type the IP address of the computer on my LAN that I wish to forward port 5900 traffic to.......or I can do this with UPnP forwarding....either way it is simply and fully controllable.
But on this Verizon box, it seems to have most standard ports and protocols stored in presets that you must choose from. For example, if I wanted to setup port forwarding for FTP traffic, I would choose FTP from the dropdown menu and then the router would automatically know to forward port 21 to the computer of my choice.
but we specifically want to turn on AFP for apple file sharing, which is port 548. On the Linksys, i could simply type port 548. But this Verizon router does not show a service called AFP. It has a nice LONG menu of many different pre-set options, but AFP is not one of them. Would it be called something else on a device like this that is obviously not specifically designed to know Apple's file sharing protocol?
So would anyone know what kind of service I should look for that opens port 548 for file sharing?
Anyone have experience with these new Verizon routers/modems yet? I'd really love to find a way to type everything in manually, but I dunno if that's possible on this unit.
i know there's a lot here. thank you to anyone who knows about this and can shed some light

That doesn't work because applications that initiate outbound connections are given randomly assigned 5-digit port numbers (e.g., 49144) through which the CLIENT communicates. The "well known" port numbers like 548 for afp, 22 for ssh, 80 for web servers, etc., are for the SERVER function to which the server daemon listens. Example: you don't send the request to download your email from your pop 110 (or 995 when using SSL), or from your imap 143 (or 993 when using SSL); that's the port number at the DESTINATION server to where your traffic is delivered, i.e., the port to which that SERVER is listening for incoming traffic. Same for when you send mail, you send from some randomly assigned five-digit port number TO the smtp server's port 25. You can see this by launching Terminal.app from an admin-privileged account and typing sudo tcpdump -i en1 (use en1 for airport, en0 for wired ethernet) and looking at the packet transmissions' headers.

Help for my new E2500 router port forwarding

My home web hosting used to work. But because of changing ISP from Verizon to TWC, TWC gave me a modem-router and I bought my own Linksys E2500 router. Both Verizon and TWC services I subscribed are Dynamic IP. I use a third party to redirect the web traffic to my home.
TWC gave me a simple modem-router in a box. Input is coax and outputs are 4 ethernet ports. I use one of the 4 ethernet outputs of the TWC box to connect to the internet ethernet input port of the E2500. All my wire and wireless devices are now feeding off the E2500. All wireless and wired devices work and can browse internet through the E2500.
I have assigned one computer as the web server and set the internal IP addess of this computer as 192.168.1.128. This is the same for the setup with Verizon before.
I loaded the CD came with the E2500 router and can see the LAN 192.168.1.128.
My problem starts from here, I do not know how to set the port in E2500 to make the web traffic to 192.168.1.128
1. Using the E2500 CD, I click to "APPLICATION AND GAMING", then "SINGLE PORT FORWARDING". under the APPLICATION NAME, I select one of the box to HTTP and type in 128 under "TO IP ADDRESS". I then click ENABLED, then "save settings" . The 192.168.1 is fixed in this window, I can only type 128.
This does not work. I can browse internet but cannot access my website from any machines using domain name.
Then I tried:
2. with item 1 above, I continued to do SETUP>>BASIC SETUP>>DHCP RESEVERSATION. I can see the compute/sever name and the 192.168.1.128. I then click the "select" and save the client.
I restarted the computer/server, I unplug and plug the E2500 power. I check the server internal IP address and it is still the same. But I just cannot browse to my website. I can browse other places.
Any idea of what is wrong on my doing? Please help.

Your modem is a router. Any incoming internet requests end at the modem/router. You have to configure port forwarding on the modem/router first before the E2500 will see anything incoming from the internet.
Alternatives:
1. Set the modem/router into "bridge" mode which turns it into a simple modem. Then you can connect directly to the internet with your E2500.
2. Set up the E2500 as simple access point and keep the modem/router as your main and only router. Then all forwarding is done on the modem/router.
