Port mapping for outside cameras

When I go into my Airport Extreme Airport Utility and look at the Network options, it appears that I have ports 80/9000/18004 open. But the cameras are not working and when I go to canyouseemenow.org it says that the ports are NOT open.
Any suggestions of what to try?

when I go to canyouseemenow.org it says that the ports are NOT open.
That does not mean the cameras are not working.. it simply means they are not responding in the expected way.. considering it is not a computer this is hardly surprising.. the only method of testing is using your laptop or something from a real wan address and trying to access.
If the actual test fails.. then show us the actual details of your port mapping... as it is we can see nothing whatsoever.
We also need to see that your airport router is the one and only router in the network. Any double NAT issue will kill this from working.

Setup Airport Extreme Port Mapping for Swann DVR16-2600

Have a Swann video surv system and want to use iPhone 4 and Web to view camera displays remotely. It requires setting up port mapping for the DVR so it can serve ports 80 and 9000 to the remote display app and web screens.
Have signed up for a static public ip address from ISP since they do not allow port mapping using DHCP. Trying to setup so I can use the SwannView application on iPhone 4 and use Webview in browser to access/see security camera displays on/through the DVR. Not working correctly - only partial success.
Reconfigured Airport Extreme for the new ip address and tried to setup port mapping for dvr which needs a web port 84 and another port 9000. Can connect to DVR on internal network using the public static ip:84 and the internal static ip:84 but it only shows a SWANN splash page and an error about not able to load ipaddress:84/65536. Seems like something is preventing the Web display from completely launching - should see a login page but not getting it.
Airport is set to use static ips in the 10.0.1.2 to 10.0.1.10 range with the DVR assigned 10.0.1.5. Tried to set the port mapping for 84 and 9000 but not sure those are working correctly. Swann support tried accessing the DVR over the public ip address and they cannot get through. So suspect problem is with configuring the Airport Port Mapping settings and services, etc. on the Airport Extreme. I can get to the DVR internally using the public ip address:84 and the internal static ip address of the DVR:84 but support cannot get to it from external web.
Tried both Safari and IE 5 and both show same problem trying to launch the Swann login page, etc. iPhone Swannview app doesn't work either.
Any ideas about proper port mapping settings for those ports in the Airport Extreme? Is this correct setting for the Service Type: _http._tcp and do you need to add settings for the public and private udp ports. The udp port fields are empty. Only have entries in the Private IP Address and Public and Private TCP port fields.
Is there a way in Safari or IE5 to set security to see the public ip address as a friendly site and not block anything from loading?

Set port mapping for 85 (not 84) and 9000
Also, if you haven't, be sure to go into the Swann DVR setup and disable the "enable UPnP" option. The UPnP protocol will not work with Port mapping feature of the Apple Airport Extreme.

TCP's port mapping for safe access

So, I have a statical IP and need to organize safe access to my domestic NAS via Capsule from Global Internet, it means I need https://.
As I know (may be it's not) TCP's set 443 can provide https:// only.
I could not find such TCPs pre-set in Capsule.
I tried to use all pre-set (one after the other) and even made a new set with TCP 443 (just by hand), but all my attempts ended by changing TCP's 443 to 8080 automatically and I saw https:// when I tried to make a safe enter.
Pls., explain, how can I do it?
Thanks' a lot advance.

You have to map port 443 to the NAS IP in your local lan..
You should be able to access it no problem.. there is nothing preset on the TC.
Read the instructions by Tesserax on port mapping for v5 or v6 utility depending on which one you use.
https://discussions.apple.com/community/wireless/airport?view=documents
IMHO if your TC is not the latest AC you will have far more success with v5 utility.
v6 seems to have issues making it stick.
You can load the older version into Mountain Lion .. but according to your profile you are on 10.6 so still fine for v5.

Port Forwarding (for IP Camera)

I have so far been unsuccessful in in setting up my new ip camera for remote monitoring.
I have followed all instructions within the "bt homehub" domain for port forwarding in application sharing but when I check that the port (80) is open (using pfportckecker.exe) it returns "unable to ping your router" and "port is not open or available".
Can anyone help please - I am becoming very frustrated !
Thanks
Solved!

Thanks,

For "Unknown-7c-dd-90-05-5e-df" the bit in bold should be the MAC address of your camera. It is normally printed on the device somewhere.
You can rename this if you wish, by editing the name to something more appropriate.
You should have a created a custom rule called mikes-camera, which with:-
Protocol TCP
Start port 8080
End port 8080
Mapped to 8080
Leave the rest blank.
You should be able to assign this to the device.
A lot depends on which version of the home hub you are using.
What I have found by experience, is that it is better to use a static IP address, if your device supports it, as DHCP can be a bit unreliable when port mapping is involved.
You can use a static address outside of the DHCP range. Like 192.168.1.50.
You can still forward ports to it, by selecting the device by its IP address, not its name.
If you can view your camera within your own network, using http://192.168.1.69:8080 then you just need to persevere with the port mapping.

Port Forwarding for Cisco camera WVC80N and AirPort Extreme

I have set up my camera to the Apple AirPort Extreme on a Windows 8 computer, but now get an error saying, "The setup wizard cannot set up TZO DDNS with your network for remote viewing." After clicking on the Learn How to Remotely View my Camera, it suggests I need to get Port Fowarding for my router" And iot suggests my router password is incorrect which it is not. Any help for a BEGINNER would be appreciated. I cannot find the IP address for the camera or my computer either.
Cisco support is NO help at all. ANY help would be appreciated. PLEASE MAKE IT SIMPLE. I can set it up on my MAC desktop also if that is better. Thanks so much

I have a D-Link DCS-920 I would like to view over the internet using my Airport Extreme.
Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
According to the manual for that device (available here
ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Multimedia/dcs920/Manual/dcs920manual100.zip
you should set the port number that the camera uses to something other than port 80. You'd then use AirPort Utility (the "Advanced" panel, "Port Mapping" tab) to map that TCP port and the camera's "private IP address" to a public TCP port. (I'm not sure what to use for "Service". You might try "Personal Web Sharing". It may also not matter once you chance the port number.) You'll need to know the WAN ("public") IP address of your AirPort Extreme. With that done you should be able to view the camera at that WAN IP address and the declared public port.

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.

Does port mapping (for minecraft) compromise the security

Hi,
My son wants to install the minecraft server on his laptop, so he and his brothers can play in one world.
I did find the information how to forward ports, but I am a little reluctant to do so, because I don't know how save it is. Does port mapping compromise the security of my network? Would this open a backdoor for hackers to invade all computers conneted to the network?
I would apreciate any advice.

No, not if done properly.
Generally, port mapping is designed to allow a direct connection from the Internet to a specific computer running a specific service on the local network. In this case the specific computer is your son's laptop and the specific service is the Minecraft server. Any other computers and services on that local network, other than your son's laptop will remain off limits to the Internet.
The key to making sure that this stays secure is that you assign the laptop a static IP address, so it is the only one that is directly addressable from the Internet, and only the ports required for the Minecraft server are mapped to that static IP address belonging to the laptop.

Enabling ports / port mapping for FTP

Greetings! I have an iMac G5 (Tiger) connected to the internet via an Airport Express. Connected to the Airport is a DSL modem. The Airport uses a static IP for internet access via the DSL modem.
I've enabled FTP services on the G5, and am trying to figure out how to map the appropriate ports to allow FTP access remotely from the internet. I assume I would need to use the static IP with the remote FTP client, then the Airport would route the request to the iMac using port mapping... correct, or incorrect? How, specifically, should this be set up? ie... what ports need opening, routed to where, etc.
Thx!

Port Forwarding For Network Cameras On Infinity

Basically if you have network cameras and want to access them remotely with BT Infinity, get rid of your BT Home Hub 3!
Whatever configuration they have inside for their infinity setup, the ports you open for your cameras will never be accessible. I was aware of this before the installation from reading about it online but these were old posts and hoped this problem may have been resolved by now.
Anyway sure enough once the installation was complete I setup the ports for access to my cameras and found them to be inaccessible. BT checked and confirmed I had configured the hub correctly but said there was nothing wrong with the equipment and it must be the line. Mean time I connected and setup my own router and sure enough the ports were accessible immediately which confirmed it was their hub/router and not the line. I told BT and they decided to send out another hub which in my mind I already knew wouldn't work (and it didn't). When I told them, the only answer their technical people could give me was to come on here and ask cause they were unable to comment on my findings and they could be of no further help with the issue. So save yourself the hassle of waiting for replacement routers and use your own. Doesn't need to be expensive, just a stand alone router and plug it into your BT Openreach modem and set your router's PPPOE user to: [email protected] and leave the password blank and you're done, the one I'm using cost me £29 a year ago and works a treat, no drop in speed and can now access all cameras remotely as before with ADSL.

I have 5 ip cameras set up with ip addresses ranging from ending in 40 - 239 which all work fine with my Trendnet router on infinity but I'll change one of the cameras to end in 15 and see if that makes any difference on the HH3. Some people have had success using a DVR with the DMZ setting so I tried this with one camera and it failed but even if that had worked there would be nowhere else for the other 4 cameras cause DMZ only allows 1 device. The BT ad calling their home hub "that bad boy over there" is total b**llox
The default DHCP table on the home hub only supports 192 or 172, but you do have the option to create a range that is suited for you.

Yes it opens both UDP and TCP ports.

Port Forwarding for Security Cameras

I have a Cisco RV220W that I am trying to set up to view the store security cameras remotely. I can view the cameras when connected to the LAN but not with a WAN connection. The Video recorder is an ADT system.
Always Allow
RTSP:TCP
Enabled
Any
192.168.0.24
8016
Always Allow
RTSP:UDP
Enabled
Any
192.168.0.24
8016
The port is the viewing port for the DVR. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hello,
I have looked into the RTSP standard, and it looks like the default ports are 554 for TCP and UDP. Since it looks like your cameras are using a different port, you may want to try creating a custom service for 8016 externally, since the default rule is currently translating 554 to 8016. Of course you can also try connecting to the cameras with the public IP and port number 554, that should work with your current setup.
However if you are unable to change the port your client software uses, definitely try creating a custom service for 8016. You may also want to double check that the camera has the RV set as it's default gateway.
Hope that helps,

LS & Port Mapping for Email

Hi folks.
I asked in the Airport Extreme section, but nobody replied. I am hoping the server folks in here would know some more.
Let me explain the problem. I own an iPod that can't get through to my server while I float around where I live. The problem is that the high speed carriers here in Ontario block a lot of ports and are known to force people to use their outgoing servers for POP. I use IMAP and wish to use my server for outgoing mail SMTP. I have an Airport Extreme as my router. I can get my mail, but I can't send anything while I am out having a coffee, etc.
I know they only block up to port 1000 or something convenient. Most services are on ports < 1000, so they just block ports that are obvious.
Can I use a port > 2000 that can be shunted to the normal internal ports? I am currently trying this:
Public SMTP TCP port 2500
Private SMTP TCP port 143
Is this how routers work? Can I link private and public ports that are different, and the router takes care of this for me? I'm assuming it is re-addressed as it passes through the router.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers

Actually, I'd rather just give traffic directions to the router instead of fussing with Postfix. Is that possible? The Airport Extreme Airport Utility's GUI is confusing about how it works and documentation is...well, for the GUI.
The Airport forwards ports. That is, it sends a request for a specific port on a specific address to the same port on a different IP address. At its core, this is the essence of NAT, and Airport is a basic NAT firewall.
The Airport does not remap ports. That is, the Airport does not alter the target port requested by the remote client, it solely alters the target IP address.
The Airport makes a good home WiFi router when combined with client devices, and is an entirely serviceable Access Point (AP) device for larger configurations. The Airport +is not a server firewall+ and does not provide features that many server administrators can require. It is a very limited device.
I will archive these notes though. How do I accomplish a postfix reload? sudo postfix restart?
The command +sudo postfix reload+ is typical. Google is your friend; postfix gets discussed widely, whether here in the forums or elsewhere, and the documentation at the [Postfix web site|http://www.postfix.org> is reasonable.
It sounds like closing SMTP ports is quite popular.
It is common to require ESMTP and related connections in many environments, or to require folks to use a VPN. Port 25 is best left used for traffic among SMTP servers, and many sites prefer to keep the clients out of that mix.

Problem port mapping for amsn on mac.. please help

I have snow leopard running, and last night I needed to use amsn opposed to the regular messanger for mac as I needed the video capabilities to connect with a user using windows and msn.
I've never had a problem before but that was before snow leopard. Apparantly the problem is with the windows side not amsn.
They suggest doing opening ports 6890-6900. I can't figure out what information to put in all the fields and if there is a way to enter the range or if you have to enter all them individually.
Also I found a document on how to do this and check the port is open via transmission which it said 1 port was as I only tried one. When I ran amsn it wasnt saying it wasnt open.
Can someone walk me through how to set up the ports. There are many fields that I dont know what to enter etc.
I should point out the problem was with the video. We couldn't intialize a connection and it was really really laggy. I tried rebooting and same thing.
thanks

You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘ Apple) keys. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and it will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. You should then be able to change your settings and enable your iPod for disk use: iTunes Keyboard Shortcuts for OSX
If you have any iTMS purchases on your there the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there's a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to your Mac at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
If you prefer something more automated there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others as well, they are generally quite straightforward.

Port fowarding for linksys WVC54GC Wireless G internet video camera

Hi
I have recentlty installed a linksys WVC54GC Wireless G internet video camera. My plan to is to view the video from the internet. As part of the setup, I am using SOLOLINK DDNS service. The set up requires me to do port forwarding for the camera which is part my home network ..
I do not know the values to input for
public port
private port
with in the port mapping environment in the Air port express base stations.
Linksys suggests I open port 1024.. Can any one help me in the setup ..

Thanks,
I have done the changes, It does answer the specific issues i had asked. However I am still unable to view my camera from the the internet.. I did some reading up and I think the problem is due to the IP address..
My AEBS assigns IP which looks like 10.0.1.1 .... In order avoid changing IP, i had assigned the camera with the static IP 10.0.1.252. This is outside the AEBS dynamic range. Hence when i access from internet, i get a message that server is not responding. it looks like this is not a valid IP from an external internet world... I have looked at the AEBS settings and found the actual IP in ther internet tab.. Should I assign the camera with the actual IP ??.. However that is DHCP, so I am a little lost ....
