Port Forwarding to boost speeds for Vuze downloads

how can i forward ports on my airport extreme to my mac so i can boost speeds on vuze? on my pc i got downloads of 200kb/s whereas on my mac im extremely lucky if i get downloads over 30kb/s? please explain how i can speed up my downloads, and also explain how i can find out my macs local ip in relation to the network, thanks. Also any good port recommendations for vuze would be handy, thanks.

UberShinySheep, Welcome to the discussion area!
Forwarding ports will do nothing to increase the download speeds.
...and also explain how i can find out my macs local ip in relation to the network...
Go to System Preferences and open the Network preference pane. Click on "Built-in Ethernet". Look to the right and you will see the Mac's IP address.

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.

How to port forward on time capsule for share center dlink?

Hello, I have just bought a Dlink ShareCenter, and have not been able to get everything to work correctly , all of the videos are from the older version, the steps are not compatible with the new airport app, I want to open 21 and 8 , they have to be open so that I can access my files outside , can I please get help with this please ,thank you. i provided an image at the screen that I am not sure what to plug in.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/5yl5c86xfll0rkr/Screen%20Shot%202012-06-07%20at%208.20 .59%20PM.png

Please explain the whole network..
Start with the modem.. what broadband do you have?
What modem and is it a modem router or straight modem?
Is the share centre using dhcp or static IP?
I am not sure how sensitive the TC is to port forwarding to static IP addresses but if it works ok, then use that.. simply set the Dlink to
10.0.1.254 as its IP.
255.255.255.0 as its subnet.
10.0.1.1 as both gateway and dns.
This is assuming the TC is at its default address. if not it won't work.
From the summary page tell me what IP the TC is at.
In the port forwarding box you use that IP.. 10.0.1.254
Use same port in as out.. and it makes no difference if you fill in both udp and tcp. Apply it and then apply port 80.
If it still fails, it has to be something else.
Are you using 5.6 utility??

Upgrades to boost speed for Lightroom/Photoshop

I have a Mac Pro from early 2008 running OS 10.7.x. I want to add whatever upgrades that might boost the speed working in Lightroom 4 and Photoshop and inDesign CS6. In particular Lightroom seems to bog down quite a bit when using Adjustment Brush to adjust numerous locations on my large NEF files. And of course we all would like loading and rendering to go faster. I'm going to be going back and forth between Lightroom, Photoshop, and InDesign to create coffee table size photo books with much text. I already have nearly 30,000 images and also will be digitizing hundreds of 35mm negs/slides, so anything that will make my work faster and my data safely and redundantly backed up is important.
I have a couple specific questions as well:
1.     Is there a graphics card that would noticably speed up image processing on my model Mac Pro?
2.     Mercury Accelsior_E2 PCI Express SSD 960GB make my image editing work go much faster?
3.     Would adding a card to give me USB 3.0 ports make my external backing up go much faster, or is there even a card available for my early 2008 Mac Pro?
4.     I want to change from my 1T data drives to 4T. The Westerm Digital (5 year warranty) drives have dual processors, does that significantly speed up working on large raw photo files? Their drives are much less expensive than the Toshiba 7200 RPM SATA enterprise drives (5 year warranty) and I wonder if spending the extra money on enterprise quality is worth it for my Mac Pro?
5.     Would adding an SSD drive as my boot drive and to hold my applications etc speed things up much?
6.     Any ideas on a fast reliable backup strategy?
Sincerely,
Greg

Someone with same situation it sounded like you:
Mac Pro 3,1 question
Lightroom 4/5 on nMP runs very smoothly while on a MAXED OUT 4,1 using PCIe SSDs it was lagging.
And that to me shows the limitations of upgrades, even how old PCIe 2.0 and 2.1 do not keep up and provide the same - even the 800/900MB/sec of an SSD array on PCIe
WD has a Thunderbolt WD 10K VelociRaptor 2TB dual-drive that is only $400 but 400MB/sec that can be a nice storage array for catalogues or scratch. Traditional 10K drives have their uses, and unlike an SSD, the writes are right up with read IO. One of those add-on costs possible that I am looking into.

Reccomended internet speed for hd downloads?

I'm seriously considering buying an apple tv, and forgetting about buying a blue ray all together. We just got our first hd tv for christmas, and have directv hd service. We love hd in this house. Also we purchased a $200 sony sound system.
So I currently have 3 mbps dsl.... (actual 2.5 mbps)
(speed test reults)
http://www.speedguide.net/speedtest/results_img.php?test=A9VK5KDG4PWY
Att offers 6 mbps dsl where I am, it would speed down to about 5 mbps at my house. Comcast has 8mbps cable, with 12 mbps speed boosts. We want to avoid getting comcast they are too expensive, and are extremely unhappy with them (also why we have direc tv now)
Will the 2.5 or 5 mbps connections do? If I click rent will I have to wait several hours to start? I would like to only have to wait about 30 mins.
Thanks....

I don't think anyone REALLY knows until the update is released but here's my thinking (I just bought the 40GB model the other day and have comcast internet with a g-router). To get a sense I downloaded some HD Podcasts on Itunes- about 6 minutes long and they were roughly 200mb. Took about 4 minutes to download to my computer via ethernet so 50mb/min. Here's where my math gets fuzzy- "DVD Quality" rentals are 1.5 GB more or less so let's just assume that an HD rental is 4 GB (I picked 4GB b/c 200mb=6 minutes so 4GB=120 minutes). If it takes 4 minutes to download 200 mb (podcast) then it should take 80 minutes to download 4 GB (4GB/200mb=20, 4 minutesx20=80minutes). Of course that is downloaded via ethernet, not the wireless g from router to Apple tv, but the 200 mb podcast synced via wireless almost as quickly as it downloaded (at least on my system). So, depending on how big you think the HD movies are that may give you a sense. I just picked 4GB but I guess they could be twice that for all I know.
Lastly, I read a reporter at the speech note that the movie started playing after about 10% of the movie had downloaded so you can go back to my 4GB example and figure that 10% is 400mb which would be about 8 minutes.
So all that to say that maybe you should download some HD Podcasts and calculate how long they take to download. Sorry, it's late for me!

How do I specify a particular Proxy Server, port, user-ID and password for file downloads

We are attempting to deploy Creative Cloud trial applications to a couple of users for testing purposes.
This is a corporate environment where we need to specify a particular proxy server by IP address, and port with a User-ID and password for identification in order to download files.
The Creative Cloud app appears to be ignoring the proxy settings in the browsers installed on the machine used to attempt a download. The Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition wants you to already have the files available. All technical support had is a white list, no help on how to specify a particular proxy server. Do we have to obtain media from Adobe, or is there a way to download these?
Thanks

Will a 7200 RPM drive boost speed for Beige G3?

I currently have an old 8 GB IDE hard drive in mmy G3 AIO, but am thinking of a bigger (doesn't need to be really big) drive, 7200 RPM, 8 MB buffer. Without buying an ATA 133 card, will this drive significantly improve hard drive read/ write speed over the old ATA drive that's in there now (probably 5400 RPM) when connecting it to the system IDE bus?

The 7200 RPM drive's faster rotational speed does seem to make a noticeable difference, in spite of the slow IDE bus speed and the 66 MHz system bus speed. In addition to the larger cache, newer drives run more quietly and cooler than the older, slower models. When it's ON, my (convection-cooled) iMac 400 is practically silent, with its new 80 GB/7200 RPM drive. I started upgrading my beige G3s with larger capacity (7200 RPM) drives, when "larger" meant 10, 15, and 30 GBs. After upgrading my desktop and mini-tower models, the only audible noise was from the power supplies' cooling fans, which had previously gone unnoticed, because the main source of noise was from the original hard drives. If you check your local electronics, computer, and office supply stores' sales this week, you should be able to find a 120-160 GB drive for less than 50¢/GB. This week, Best Buy has the Seagate 160 GB (PATA or SATA) drive on sale for $69.99 (no rebate required). Although your AIO won't recognize the full capacity a 160 GB drive, it may cost less than what you'd pay for a 120 GB drive. At the retail level, I doubt you'd find anything smaller than 80 GBs now.

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.

WRT400n Not Port Forwarding Even With Correct Settings

As the title of this post says I have the port forwarding settings correctly set for FTP (and other ports) but no luck. I'm not dumb, I know computers and routers. Even after hard reset, firmware upgrade and setup, still not working. Confirming with third party port scanner that ports not open even though they are setup, enabled and DMZ a few tries. Not firewall issue, worked fine with my previous tomato router setup. I should have never upgraded. Any suggestions other than buying a new router AGAIN?

I would suggest you to upgrade/reflash the router's firmware and re-configure the router.
You can download the firmware from linksys website.On the router setup page,Click on the Administration tab to upgrade the firmware.After upgrading the firmware...Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

Combo unix ssh port forwarding + iChatAV + Bonjour question

I don't know which forum is best for this question, so thought I'd try here first.
I've been tossing around the idea of picking up a couple of iSights and running iChatAV. Problem is, if I understand this correctly, iChatAV uses a couple of ports for connections to third-party servers: AOL buddy server or Jabber server, a port for something called snatmap, a port for SIP, and some other stuff. Plus, it requires that you open up nearly 20 ports on your network for the AV traffic! (I get nervous just having my non-standard ports for smtp and ssh open, and my imaps port open (which is another issue -- anybody know how to change imaps port 993 to a non-standard port if running uw-imap server?) It doesn't look like iChatAV can, normally, operate by "calling up" an IP address or hostname...it always has to set up calls using AOL or Jabber...unless, perhaps, the destination iSight/iChatAV is on your own Bonjour-capable subnet.
So, I'm thinking, what if a calling party created a ssh tunnel and port-forwarded the dozens of UDP and couple of TCP ports over a ssh tunnel, as a lengthy list of port forward options like "-L 5297:localhost:5297 -L ...", (assuming that the forwarding host, to whom the caller ssh's, is the same computer that is running iChatAV, hence, the remote host specification in the "-L" option of "localhost"). Would the caller then be able to treat the connection like Bonjour networking and when he calls localhost on his end of the circuit, it "bonjours" to the called hostname's localhost and thus a peer-to-peer connection would be made?
Or perhaps a reverse port forward tunnel ("-R" options) could be set up in advance by the "to-be-called" party, and then the calling party initiates a iChatAV call as a "same-subnet-as-calling-computer-via-Bonjour" type of call?
I'm just kicking around some thoughts here; I don't know enough about the intricacies of iChatAV and Bonjour (and ssh) to really know all the "gotchas" and I'd like to get the planning done with a high degree of confidence of success before I plunk out $300 on two iSights.
If the general concensus of the group moderator and others on this forum is that this question should be posted in another forum, I apologize, and I'll move, but I thought that the ssh tunneling nature of my inquiry (and my unrelated side question about how to change 993 to a non-standard port) made this forum the obvious, and best, choice.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts on these issues!

No, you can't do what you describe. You have to use port forwarding on the router for any incoming connections, and each port forward rule can only map to a single server/service.
However, SSH has the ability to tunnel other connections, so it may be possible to remove one or more of the existing port forwarding rules and replace them with a SSH rule, then use SSH tunneling to get to those services. Of course, this will only work for services that only you (or other authorized users) need to access, and not public services such as web/http traffic (assuming you're running a public web site).
The only other option would be to replace your router with one that doesn't have such a strict limit on the number of port forwarding rules.

Airport Express G getting Port Forwarding to work from Airport Extreme N

I have an Airport Extreme N connected to a cable modem. I have an Airport Express G in another room, connected to a Local Ethernet Network. The AE G is setup as a WDS Remote to the AE N. Connectivity works and all is well.
What doesn't work is when I try to forward ports from the AE N to a device/system connected (via ethernet) to the AE G. The kicker is the port forwards work from "inside" the network. Outside they don't. I have been able to forward ports to anything connected to the N directly or wirelessly.
Any thoughts on what the proper configuration of the AE G or the AE N to get port forwarding to work from the AE N through to the clients of the AE G?
I have DHCP, and the clients of the AE G are getting IP addresses and working as they should.

I checked that. I can forward ports all day long to anything connected directly (or wirelessly) to the AE N. Anything connected to the AE G, ports won't forward. For some reason the AE G in bridge mode is not letting ports forward through.
Thanks for responding, though.

RDP PORT FORWARDING ON WRT120N

I'd like to be able to RDP to my home desktop from the office. I used to be able to do this with my OLD Linksys wireless B router by having two entries in the GAMING port forwarding section. One for port 3389 and the other for 65001. I recently installed a new WRT120N and can't for the life of me figure out what/where I need to add these two entries for port forwarding. Can someone please walk me through the process?
Message Edited by SBINDER on 07-07-2009 07:22 AM

I think you are missing some setps to enable port forwarding on your router for RDP.
When you login to the Linksys router, Click on "Application and Gamin" tab, and below you need to click on the sub tab "Port Range Forwarding" .
Click Here how to enable Port Forwarding on you Router, Once configured properly i think you should be able to access RDP.

New network/port forwarding questions

I just replaced my Airport Extreme with a 1TB TC and set up a primary network (AirNett) and a Guest network (Guest). I added Port Mapping entries for my computers (running Tiger), SlingBoxes and ReplayTVs (which are all ethernet-connected) and I have 1 laptop running Leopard and 1 running Tiger. We also have 2 iPhones.
The wired devices all seem to connect just fine. Occasionally, there is a delay in the connection (30 sec-1 min), but once it connects, they seem to stay connected.
The laptops take too long to connect to the AirNett network. If they do connect, it seems that the connection comes and goes. The iPhones have yet to connect to AirNett.
The Guest network serves all the wireless devices just fine, BUT, it does not allow connections to the Port Forwarding devices.
So, 2 issues... any ideas about :
1) why my primary network (AirNett) is not working properly for my wireless devices and
2) why my Guest network does not allow the Port Forwarding connections.
TIA for any suggestions.

That was my point - all my lan ports that use port 80 can point at port 80, and long as the WAN ports point at something else. The trouble is, I am restricted to only using 80,81 and 443 on the LAN side, which limits me to 3 (not counting 8080 for my routers web gui)
So that means with my two web cams and web gui on my NAS drive, I am unable to log into any other web interfaces on my LAN, unless I log into my router first, disable one port forward and enable another (using the same WAN port of 80 or 81) - which is doable but a PITA..
This is what is looks like on the router:
For example, if I change the port from field for the "tranmission" entry to anything but 80 or 81, it will not work, so if I want to get into my torrent gui on my NAS drive I have to disable "cam1" and enable "transmission"
I checked with my ISP and they are not blocking any ports, so I'm not sure how to get around this, unless I can serve up a page that shows feeds from more than one camera and serve it from one source, ie my router or NAS drive.

Port Forwarding not working (PLEASE HELP!)

I have been trying to port forward a Minecraft server for fun, however the port will not open no matter how many times I try. Here's what I've been doing: Enter 192.168.1.1 in browser and log in. Once on the home screen -> advanced -> port forwarding rules -> add port -> tcp -> any source -> single destination: 25565 (default port for a Minecraft server) -> add port -> udp -> any source -> single destination: 25565 -> apply -> fire wall settings -> typical security -> port forwarding -> select my computer I am on -> select the port forward I had previously created -> add -> resolve now & apply. The status shows as active, but when I use a site like checkmyports.net, it states that the port is closed.Is anyone else having port forwarding issues? What's the problem? Did I miss something? Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.Do you have an application on the internal device that is listening on port 25565? Port will only report as open if there is a listening appliaction on the port on the destination device. Try something simple that we know works e.g. remote desktop which uses port 3389Enable remote desktop on your computer - typically right mouse click my computer, select properties, select remote settings, select remote, select Allow connections any version.now logon to router select firewall settingsselect port forwardingspecify ip address of your machineselect Remote Desktop from services - will show tcp any -> 3389 udp any -> 3389select addselect apply Now try checkmyport.net and test port 3389If it doesn't show as open then it sounds like a firewall issue In either case you'll probably want to go back in and turn off remote desktop access unless you really want to access your machine from the outside. let us know the results.
