Port Fowarding Issue - EA4500

I am running into an issue when using the Single Port Forwarding function.  When I have the 5 ports enabled, the router seems to shut down completely.  The internet becomes unreponsive.  As soon as I uncheck any one of the 5, it starts responding again.  Any idea what I may be doing wrong?  I have performed the same procedure on previous models and never ran into this issue.

I ran into the same problem. All Xbox Live sites say to forward port 53 for NAT open. It would lock up everything and through trial and error I disabled the port and it works fine now.

Well, this is junk. Seems as if they don't understand the difference between ports needed and ports to be forwarded. The xbox may need port 53 to be open (i.e. a firewall does not block traffic from or to the xbox on port 53). But that does not mean it must be forwarded, i.e. the xbox gets unsolicited traffic on port 53 from the internet.
You only forward a port if you have a server running on that port which needs to be accessible from the internet. The xbox is no DNS server. It doesn't need port 53. And I am pretty sure the xbox isn't a web server either, thus it won't need port 80 either.
That's a huge difference but obviously Microsoft doesn't understand that.

  • How to Port Foward Xbox One?

    I don't know how to port foward the Xbox One to make the NAT type Open with my AT&T Unite Express device. I see the port fowarding option in the device's website, but don't know how to do it. Please help!

    I'm having the same issue, has anybody managed to resolve this?

  • Port Fowarding Limitations

    I do apologize if this has already been addressed, i did a search and did not find anything pertaining to exactly what i am looking to answer.
    I currently own the Airport extreme. And my only negative comment about it is "Why was it not designed to use port fowarding ranges..?" "or why was it not designed to handle more port fowarding(limit is 25-30 i think?)"
    I am curious if the new airport extremem addresses these issues or if it runs on the same principle as the older model. Thank you.

    Echleon, Welcome to the discussion area!
    In the AirPort Extreme (802.11n) discussion area, there have been discussions about this. You can enter ranges of ports as in 25-30.

  • Quantum Gateway Port Forwarding issues

    This post can be removed.... the port forwarding worked once I set it up under "Advanced Settings -> Network Settings ->Port Forwarding" instead of "Firewall -> Port Forwarding"
    Hello,
    I am having an issue setting up port forwarding.  I have made several attempts to make port forward TCP 8096, but it continues not to work.  I had it working with no problems at my with my old router before we moved so I know it's not an issue with my computer firewall or antivirus and MediaBrowser is working fine on the local network. Is anyone else experiencing Port Forwarding issues?  Also when will DMZ be enabled on this gateway?
    Any help would be apprciated. I'm trying to setup MediaBrowser so I can schedule recordings when i'm not at home.
    Thanks!

  • Cat 3750-Span (Port Mirroring issue)

    Hello team
    I am facing port mirroring issue in my setup. Details of the setup are mentioned below
    Setup--
    Stack of 4 catalyst switches WS-C3750X-48P running software 15.0(1) SE3 .Approximately 12 vlans are configured in this setup and port mirroring is done for all vlans with destination configured as single Gig Ethernet port...The setup works fine from mirroring perspective for 3-4 days and after that machine connected to destination port stops getting data.
    Observations-
    It has been observed that during the issue, the port configured for mirror destination has lot of packet drop/input errors on the port statistics.
    If we configure only TX packet mirroring, it works for 8 -10 days
    If we configure TX & RX packet mirroring, it works for 2-3 days
    Testing done
    Tried clearing counter on destination port but no success (mirroring doesn’t start)
    Tried  shut /no shut for the destination port but no success.
    Tried restarting the machine connected to destination port but no success
    Workaround
    We need to reconfigure the mirroring configuration after removing the mirroring config from the switch. Once the same is done, mirroring starts working.
    Want to understand
    1-is there any HW limitation for the switch (destination port not capable of handling mirroring traffic)
    2-is there any software related issue?
    3-what can be permanent resolution for the same..

    Hello
    We have tried this previously but found same result.
    1- we deleted the monitror session and recreated again with same session number
    2-we deleted the monitor session and created new session (session id diffrent ) with same config..
    in both cases its working for 3-4 days..

  • Port fowarding not working and Max Payne 3

    I have had a proble with this game badly lagging and some things not being applied to my account while playing etc etc etc
    Now the ports that I've already opened ( or seemingly not ) are :-
    UDP 6672
    UDP 27900
    UDP 27901
    443
    I have put the Hub 3 ( 3A ) into DMZ, and when I go to an online port checking facility no matter which one it tells me that eaach of the ports are closed, and I'm still lagging in game etc
    I'm not new to computers, just not done a lot of connection problems.I did the port forwarding via a BT tech rep over the phone, so there shouldn't be any problems with how it's been setup ( e.g me not putting in something should have been taken out of the equation ).
    I've seen a few posts about the HH3a not doing as it should.So 2 questions here, can I ask/demand a HH3B, and is there the same problems with this as with the HH3A ?
    If you have any other questions for me, be free to ask, but I might ask how to do some things
    Andy

    After 4 telephone conversations , it appears that either there is something wrong with the HH3 Type A , and port forwarding isn't happening , or the HH3 doesn't allow me to see if the port forwards are concerned, which isn't very helpful either way.
    Added to which BT are unable to send me out a HH3 Type B because  " they are undergoing testing at the moment, because there is a problem with them " , quote , unquote.It has taken these 4 phone calls to find this out, which could've been explained the first time, instead of just fobbing me off, saying the port fowards are done, when clearly as far as  online open port checkers are concerned, their not.
    So, there isn't any way I can go back to the game developers technical help , until this problem is sorted.
    I've put a post on another thread asking which router would be best for me to purchase, as this seems my only course of action, with BT just washing their hands of the situation, saying that although port forwarding is part of the HH3, it doesn't mean to say that it works, and they don't support it !
    Many thanks for any replies.

  • How to make single port fowarding  for camera by using airport extreme  ???

    hi
    I have airport extreme model no A1143 (apple)
    when I was using linksys ,I have camera
    I reserve IP local for camera and then by aplication single port foward I put IP local for camera so I would get for the picture or video
    Is any body can help by using apple airport extreme model no A1143
    where should I put the IP local for the camera ?which application
    thanks
    Message was edited by: charlie368

    charlie368, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Using AirPort Utility you can configure the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) to forward the port(s) to the camera. However the camera will need to be assigned a local IP address. The default local IP addresses are in the 10.0.1.x range.
    To get to the camera from the internet, you would use the IP address provided by your ISP. This is the one used by the WAN side of the AEBS.

  • OC4J port binding issue

    This thread is in OC4J/J2EE forum, but it feels like it could be an Redhat AS2.1 port handling issue, so I'm copying here...
    I'm having some problems with OC4J standalone. Starting and stopping OC4J gives error:
    "Error starting HTTP-Server: Address already in use"
    and sometimes "Error starting ORMI-Server. Unable to bind socket: Address already in use
    and almost always "Error starting JMS-Server: Unable to bind socket: Address already in use
    Starting and stopping a few times usually results in a successful restart, but this is intermittent success and not predictable. Reallocating with a different port numbers means successful start fist time, but then it follows the same pattern.
    This is OC4J standalone 9.0.3 pure java deployed on Linux RHAS 2.1...
    Java version is 1.3.1.1_02-b02
    My start and stop scripts look like this :
    startoc4j.csh
    #!/bin/csh
    java -Xmx100m -Xms100m -Dscm.logon=true -jar oc4j.jar -userThreads &
    stopoc4j.csh
    #!/bin/csh
    java -jar admin.jar ormi://localhost:50501 admin ias_admin1 -shutdown
    Has anyone seen this before? Is there a standard start / stop script for OC4J standalone on UNIX that I can use?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    This was found to be a JRE on Linux bug. Solution was to upgrade to Javasoft 1.4.1...

  • Creating a Server WITHOUT port fowarding

    How do I make it so that a person can download the server.jar file, run it, and have people connect to it (socket 11114) without having to configure their router to foward that port. I know its possible because in professional games, people can connect to each other and the user doesnt have to use port fowarding.
    Thanks

    Normally a client doesn't need to forward ports to connect to a server at all. A router usually prevents an arbitrary connection to a computer it's routing, since it may be routing many computers and the intended one may be impossible to identify unless pre-configured with the router. Connecting from the routed computer does not have this problem, so long as the server has its ports ready, except for the rare case where the router doubles as an anti-trojan firewall, in which case it needs to be configured accordingly, but that's really the client's problem(and fault, for enabling such a feature on the router in the first place, or actually picking out the extra-rare router that has such a feature on by default).
    This simply requires that the client connects to the server, and never vice versa. This is okay for a connection-based protocol, like TCP.
    For a datagram protocol like UDP, most modern routers tend to "remember" where routed computers sent a packet to, and use it to figure out where packets sent back should go, so as long as the client sends the first packet, and so long as the server sends replies within a certain timelimit(usually 60 seconds), it should work without any special port forwarding.
    The few users using a router without that support would either have to configure their router, or use TCP only.

  • How to configure my AEBS to port fowarding?

    The problem is that i cannot give or receive any webcam from my friend on aMsn or Yahoo Messenger. I know that i need to give a static IP to my computer and do port fowarding but i dont know how.
    We have two iMac here, that are connected to internet via my AEBS. Secondly, I use a airport Express to stream music in my receiver and to connect my blu-ray my disc player and my Wii to internet.
    So how arranged that without creating problem with my whole network?
    Please, I would appreciated a clear method like 1- go to,... 2- click on,...

    Hello IacsaP. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    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:
    1. Reserve a DHCP-provided IP address for the host device.
    Internet > DHCP tab
    o On the DHCP tab, click the "+" (Add) button to enter DHCP Reservations.
    o Description: <enter the desired description of the host device>
    o Reserve address by: MAC Address
    o Click Continue.
    o MAC Address: <enter the MAC (what Apple calls Ethernet ID if you are using wired or AirPort ID if wireless) hardware address of the host computer>
    o IPv4 Address: <enter the desired IP address>
    o Click Done.
    2. Setup Port Mapping on the AEBSn.
    Advanced > Port Mapping tab
    o Click the "+" (Add) button
    o Service: <choose the appropriate service from the Service pop-up menu>
    o Public UDP Port(s): <enter the appropriate UDP port values>
    o Public TCP Port(s): <enter the appropriate TCP port values>
    o Private IP Address: <enter the IP address of the host server>
    o Private UDP Port(s): <enter the same as Public UDP Ports or your choice>
    o Private TCP Port(s): <enter the same as Public TCP Ports or your choice>
    o Click "Continue"

  • WRTU54G-TM Port Forward issues, DHCP server disabled but still gives out addresses

    I've seen other posts about port-forwarding issues.  I've had to hard-reset the device twice in 2 months to clear this up.
    One issue that I can't figure out at all is that the DHCP server gives out addresses when it is set to disabled.  This is a problem because it gives out the public DNS servers, which will not resolve addresses on my LAN.  Anyone else seen this?
    Anyone had success putting this router behind a better one and still getting the phone SIM to register and work? 

    Have you tried to upgrade the firmware on your Router?
    Click Download  the latest firmware for your Router and save the Firmware file on your Desktop. 
    Once you Download the firmware for your Router, Now you need to login to the Router setup page and click on the "Administration" tab and below click on "Firmware Upgrade" and then click on the Browse Button and select the firmware file and click on Upgrade. 
    Once the firmware is upgraded successfully then you need to Reset your Router and Re-configure all the settings on your Router from scratch. 

  • Port Fowarding problems

    OK,  I have a WRV200 wireless router.  My problem is with port fowarding.  It works fine off of a single ip address.  For example,  if I want to forward a port to 192.168.16.16 it wotks no problem but whatever a try to forward to another ip it doen't work.  For emaple we added a new server and want to forward port 5901 on it but it doesn't get forwarded.  If i istall the application to the other server and forward 5902 to that servers ip 192.168.16.16 it works.  Anybody have similar problems.  I have 3 of these out at client locations and all 3 act the same.  I just never noticed it because I only had to forward any ports to a single internal ip.

    Did you try to update to the latest firmware?
