Port Forwarding - Time Capsule

I am running on OSX 10.8.2 and using Airport Utility 6.2. I want to set up port forwarding for another port other than 80. I have security cameras that use port 80 and I can view from outside my network. I recently set up Insteon products and having a port conflict as its looking at port 80. Can someone give me a step by step in instructions (based on the versions of the software I stated above) on how to open port 1000 (port forward 1000)? I honestly have no clue how I did it for my cameras because it works. The area I added says something about "Public TCP Ports 22" but nothing about port 80. In any case, any easy to understand, step by step instructions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

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 Time Capsule With Bridge Mode

Whoever says that the Time Capsule opens all ports if it is in Bridge Mode, it does not.
I have put my Time Capsule in DMZ, firewall disabled, and it is still blocking ports, except for a couple (Apple Filesharing, Telnet,…)
My TC was set up in Bridge Mode as it SHOULD indeed open all ports, but this is not the case, it seems you have to add the ports yourself.
How it works is completely not intuitive and i would even consider it a bug.
Adding the following port configuration opened up the port, even though it was blocked before adding it with the TC in Bridge Mode.
This doesn't seem to work for all ports however, so i am at a loss as to what is going on
I'm using the following site to test the Network ports
http://www.whatsmyip.org/port-scanner/
If anyone could explain or help out, that would be great
Kind Regards,
Cipher

Hi, Thank you both for your continued support!
The main router is from our ISP, it is remotely controlled by our ISP and they will not allow us to access it and adjust/view the configuration ourselves (dumb, i know, but can't be helped), which is why is i went with the DMZ option, as i don't want to keep having to call them, wait and trouble shoot every time a specific port needs to be opened.
That router goes to 2 floors in the building, with a switch on the first floor and another one on the second floor, this second one extends the network to the third floor. My Time Capsule is connected to this switch.
The main router from our ISP has the IP 192.168.254.150 set up to be in DMZ (per request) as well as the, what they call, "soft firewall" disabled.
My Time capsule has it's network setup manually, so it has the static IP mentioned just above, the router is the main router from our ISP
Currently the TC is set up to to share that IP address using DHCP & NAT, where the private IP range identifier is different from the one used by the main router (TC is using 10.0.X.X) resulting in a double NAT, but causing no problem since the IP identifier is different
Ports that need to be forwarded have been mapped in the TC
IPv6 is configured to be setup automatically and it's mode is set to Native
The TC also broadcasts a secure wireless network
My Main Desktop (running OS X Mountain Lion) is connected through ethernet, directly to the TC
I have tried connecting to an external server @ IP XX.XXX.XX.XX on port 7777, but the connection fails
That's pretty much it i think.

Moved drive to USB Port on Time Capsule and TM no longer sees backups

I moved my FireWire attached HD from a direct attachment to my Mac Pro to attached via the USB port on my Time Capsule. Time Machine now wants to start over, and does not see the previous backups.
The destination drive name did not change, other than the added NAS address.
Is there a way to force TM to use the previous backup set incrementally instead of starting over?
Thx

unfortunately, it's not that simple. TM treats backups to directly attached drives differently vs. networked ones.

Cannot print from Canon MF4412 through USB port of Time Capsule

Hi everyone,
I've recently purchased a new Canon imageCLASS MF4412 and cannot print while connected to the USB port of the time capsule. I can print and scan perfectly when connected directly to the mac.
This is the exact steps I took:
1.After connecting the usb cable to the back of Time capsule, I go to the sys pref pane to add a printer.
2.It shows up as a 'Bonjour' and I had to manually select the driver.
3.It added fine and I thought everything was setup.
4.However, when i go to print something, there's an error. "Canon URF II Printer Driver"
"Cannon communicate with the printer, or the printer is not supported. If the printer is supported, check the printer connection and add it again. Then, if the Print Dialog box has a [Printer Info] button, acquire the printer information: 10322"
Anybody know of a solution?
Thanks.

I got a similar problem on MF4412, the canon 4412 is connected the newest airport extreme , it get configured. But I got same problem described about on my leopard, lion, even worst on iOS, it does not find the printer. But I got a Windows 7 starter NetBook ...haha it works, I can print it from Windows. what is the problem then,it works on Windows but not Apple's OS??????

SMTP Port forward times out incoming mail

Hello-
I have an AirPort extreme with an AirPort Express WDS extension. In the Express, I've wired in my in-house mail server. I port forwarded both TCP and UDP for port 25 to the correct (static) IP address. With this configuration, mail frequently was dropped with the sending server getting a timeout error. After much struggle, I found that setting the default host as my mail server fixed everything. I enabled the firewall on the server and blocked all but the ports I'd been forwarding through the Extreme. All works well. The receiving mail server is Exchange 2003. The mail server on the Internet through which all of my mail bounces is running qmail. The bounce is what enabled me to monitor the log status as email was coming in.
My question is: why would making the server the default host have worked? I postulated that there was an additional port being used which is not now blocked by the Extreme, but since I firewalled out the same ports on the server, I don't feel that this could be the case. Furthermore, SOME email made it through but most of it did not. I saw nothing in the Extreme's SNMP log that indicated any blocking was going on.
I would MUCH rather simply port forward on the Extreme so if anyone has any idea why this would have been happening, I'd appreciate it. I should also note that before I installed my AirPort Extreme, this configuration with my old router (using port forwarding) worked flawlessly.
As a side note, I am running the Extreme in G-Only mode as some LinkSys cards on my network wouldn't behave if N was enabled.

Let us separate between the intermittent SMTP errors and the slowing down for the time being. What happens (and how long it takes) when you open a shell and connect to the SMTP server ? For example, try something like this:
]# telnet smtp.google.com 25 (if your smtp server is imap google)
try to send a simple message and see how long it takes, e.g.
helo smtp.google.com

Setup ports in Time Capsule

hello folks,
I replaced my old router (non TC) by a pretty new TC 3Tb.
I have installed also in my home some cameras that transmites images real time throught out internet using DYNDNS.
on my previous router I was obliged to setup some specific ports to allow outgoing internet traffic, but after install TimeCapsule, my cameras is not visible.
So the question is, Can I setup TimeCapsule to allow outbound internet traffic as my previous router ?
thanks
CarlosM

Yes, the same port forwarding rules apply..
See
https://discussions.apple.com/community/wireless/airport?view=documents
Port Mapping documentation.
But many many people are finding the port opening on the new TC / AE models is flaky.. it will not work reliably.. Welcome to the future.

Add air port to time capsule

add air port to time capsule

Which AirPort model will you be adding to the Time Capsule network?
Do you plan to add the AirPort by connecting it using a wired Ethernet connection to the Time Capsule?
or
Do you plan to add the AirPort by connecting it wirelessly to the Time Capsule?
What operating system are you running on your Mac?

Can you expand the number of LAN ports the Time Capsule has?

I have a recently purchased a Time Capsule and am wondering if you could use something like a splicer to add more LAN ports to the device.

You can install a Gigabit Ethernet switch to add as many ports as you need. Switches come in 5-port, 8-port, 16-port etc. varieties.
Why a switch and not a hub? A switch will deliver full bandwidth to each connected device. A hub will divide or split up the bandwidth to connected devices.
Any electronics / computer superstore will have models to choose from. Recommended brands are Netgear and Cisco, among others.

How do I connect a Canon Selphy CP900 using the USB port on Time Capsule

I am running a MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion (10.8.5) and have installed the CP 900 driver (6.2) supplied by Canon from their website. I have a Time Capsule set up as a stand alone internal network at my home and use it as a network attched hard drive directly - not via Time Machine. I can "see" the printer when I connect but cannot print to it. I open a photo in preview and select the printer and print.
I get a
Cannin Selphy CP Generic
connection method not supported message - 9786
The printer does show up in my Print and Scan control panel in System Preferences
I also cannot reach it to check suplies
At the print it dsiplays the printer to computer connection via USB
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Asa

Hi Asa,
I experienced the same error -9786 although I'm not using the time capsule, but only through the wifi.
I did following and resolved the problem.
1. I re-installed the driver software.
2. I re-configured the printer settings. (System Preferences - Printers and Scanners - "+" button)
3. I didn't add the selphy manually, but just I just input "CP" in the searchbox in "Add" dialog, and clicked "OK" button then the printer is set automatically.
4. I tried pringing a photo from iPhoto and could print correctly.
it looks like the key action is #2 and #3 above, so why don't you give a try?

I'm trying to decide what to buy either air port or time capsule. I want a hard drive to save my pictures documents etc. but I want to be able to delete it off my computer but it still stay on my hard drive any advice?

need to decide what to get for a hard drive

Any hard disk drive in a USB enclosure will work with either the Time Capsule or the Extreme.
Don't use Time Machine for archival purposes - that's not what it is designed to do. It's strictly a backup utility.

Adding additional ports to time capsule

I would like to add additional ports to my time capsule

That is easy.. if you mean ethernet ports.. just buy a standard switch and plug it in. Nowadays standard gigabit 8 port are <$50. Plug into a LAN port and away you go.. no setup .. it is completely transparent.

Trying to connect an 8-port switch to one of the 3 ports on Time Capsule

but even the "connectivity" light is unlit.
cable modem into house gets patched to where i want TC for best signal.
using other ports to connect directly to MacBooks or PC give full gig speed
trying to patch one of the ports back to basement and into linksys 8 port gigabit switch that disperses to:
Two Wired Tivo Series 2 boxes (cause the wireless using WEP was too annoying)
additional PCs in various rooms.
anyone know how to address? all devices that need cabling through house are useless for now

This should work no problem - I've got a Pluscom gigabit switch connected to my TC. Previously had a USR 10/100 switch.
What happens if you connect the switch directly to the modem (with all the other devices disconnected, except for one computer)?
Has the switch worked previously, or is it new?
Has the cabling worked previously?
Since the TC's ethernet ports work with other devices, the fault must lie with the cabling or the switch. Try connecting the switch to the TC using a known working cable.

I have a time capsule connected directly to fiber connection. I have connected a windows server directly to TC and configured it for remote desktop connection. From my interanet I can access srvr but not from my home. What config I need on TC?

I have a time capsule directly connected to fibre optic point out. All pcs and macs are connected wirelessly to the internet. I have connected a windows server pc to TC. When configured for Remote desktop connection, I can access windows server from within interanet but don't know how to access it from internet. I guess I need to change some settings in TC to get some ip adress for the remote desktop connection from my home. Anyone who can help me out? Appreciate it.

I am a little lost now.. I have read again your title and your first post.. and they seem inconsistent.
In the title you state.
From my interanet I can access srvr but not from my home.
Interanet is not a word I know.. I assumed intranet...are you talking about internet or intranet? And just to be clear say WAN or LAN.. !! Is your home part of the interanet??
In the first post you state,
I can access windows server from within interanet but don't know how to access it from internet.
Now this is more normal.. the issue is not in the home at all, it is accessible from there but fails from internet. If this is correct, then you can do a few obvious things to determine where the problem is.
But first I need to know are you actually testing from a different internet connection to your home lan.. you are not just trying the public IP from inside the LAN as that will fail due to the TC not doing NAT Loopback.
I am also assuming the TC is the only router in the network, and has the public IP on the WAN interface.
And I am also assuming you have turned on the ping responder and you can actually ping your public ip from the internet and get a response. This helps no end in figuring out where there are issues. Strange but I have no idea if there is a ping responder in the TC WAN so you might need to forward that as well. Also if you have a dynamic public ip address are you using dyndns or no-ip or some other service to connect.
1. Test bypassing the TC.. plug the internet connection straight into the windows server,, and test if you have access. If yes, the TC is the problem.. if not, your setup on the windows server is wrong.. look at firewall in particular.
2. Assuming from test 1 the TC is the problem, Post the screen shots of the port forwarding setup for us to look at.. that is by far the easiest way to check it out.
There are lots of references to port forwarding in the TC.. eg
http://must-know-mac.blogspot.com/2008/07/how-to-port-forward-time-capsule.html
The things that generally go wrong are firewall on the computer that is accepting the port.
The ISP doesn't allow connections on a particular port. (not likely in your case)
The router is behind another router.. double NAT will kill any port forward.
Upnp has already allocated a port.. not an issue as TC doesn't use upnp although a reboot of everything after you set port forwards is well worth it.. amazing how things don't stick properly without a reboot.
IP on the receiving device is not static and so changes.
Not enough or right type of ports are opened. This is always messier than it looks as one port is often not enough for two way communications.

Leopard + iChat + Time Capsule Port Forward

Hi,
Here are my settings
OS: Leopard
Modem: Motorola 2210-02
Router: Time Capsule
Macbook
I am trying to use video ichat with my girlfriend in Canada but I can't get it to work. (audio works)
Currently I am using the modem as a Bridge and I forwarded the ports on Time Capsule according to the guide for AEBS (http://portforward.com/networking/static-Mac10.4.htm). However, it's still not working.
Is the problem coming from the port mapping? => in the private ip field should i put the router or the macbook's ip.
Does it make a difference which setting i use as my DHCP beginning address? 10.1.0 vs 192.168.1
Should my dhcp reservations for my macbook (and other laptop) be within or outside the dhcp beginning and end address?
Sincerely,
Adama

It should work just setting it to Share An IP in the drop down.
I am not sure if the set up is exactly the same as a Base Station but you should have a pane like this
