Port opening on time capsule

Dear all, I know there are posts on this already, but there is none that worked for me. I use TC (and therefore airport) as a router. It is ethernet connected to the cable modem, and to a PC running ubuntu. I connect wifi with my macbook air. I recently installed the WakeOnLan on my pc, and I decided I wanted also WakeOnWan; here it is when I found out my TC doesn't open doors. If I follow all the guides (NAT, NAT mapping, Assigned IP...) I can only transform them form closed to stealth according to the GRC.com test, and they are not seen as open by any other web service. I need port opened for p2p and for this magic packet to be sent through the router to the LAN card. Can anyone help me, please?
Thank you very much in advance.

To forward ports on your TC follow the directions below. This should work assuming there is no other firewall; either by your internet provider, cable modem, or the computer.
To forward ports on your TC, open Airport Utility, select TC and then Manual Setup. Choose the Advanced Tab (or press 'command' '6') and then Port Mapping. From here, click the + box to add a port configuration. You can then select from a list of common port configurations or enter your own combination. You need the port information to open from WAN side - goes into the public ports. The computer local IP address - goes into private IP address field. Usually enter the same port(s) as public go into private ports section. You should follow the directions by the provider as to what ports to open. You can select a range by using the dash (example: 3200-3300) or separate by commas (21,548,3283) or use both methods combined. If you don't have experience or understand what doing this does, you should search the internet for information about the possible security risks by opening public ports. (Just an FYI)

  • How can I test the usb port on my Time Capsule to see if it is working?

    Ever since lightening struck nearby (which took out our internet and copy machine) the printer I had connected to the usb port on my Time Capsule in my office has has failed to print through the TC. I can plug the printer directly into my MacBookAir and can print just fine. So there is nothing wrong with the printer nor the usb cable.
    I've turned off and unplugged the printer with the usb cable connected & disconnected to the TC, no change. I've unplugged the TC, no change. I've opened the printer utility several times, and always get the "offline" error. I open the print queue, and it says the printer is not connected. I reinstalled the driver for the printer, still the same thing.
    I'm starting to wonder if the usb port on my Time Capsule got fried. Any help anyone can give in trying to see if the usb port even functions anymore would be greatly appreciated.
    My Time Capsule is model no. A1409.

    Power is not likely to be killed .. it is the data components that are more fragile.
    So you do have power which as you say is why the USB flashes.. but you don't have signal.
    The only other thing you can do is use USB powered hub.. if you have one handy.. but I would not go out and buy one.
    A damaged board is impossible (at cost less than replacement TC) to repair. And repairers do not like working on stuff damaged by lightning as components that did survive were stressed.. the transistor junctions become liable to fail at any time.. so you repair it and it just keeps coming back as not working. Sorry if you cannot use it without USB junk it and buy a replacement. A second hand Gen3 is about the best of them it seems.
    You can also buy an ethernet to USB print server.. but a new ethernet or wireless network printer is probably near to the same price.
    You can hunt ebay for second hand USB print servers.. or airport express, extreme or TC.. often you can find something suitable for just a few dollars if you shop well. Since you don't need the latest greatest to do this sort of job.. and people are disposing of things like USB print servers as soon as they buy network printers.

  • How to plug a hard drive on the USB port of a Time Capsule. TC in bridge mode

    Hello
    I would like to connect a hard drive onto the USB port of a Time Capsule. This is for saving files (different frome the Time Machine savings). I am struggling to get it working it seems that I can see the HD when under "drives or discs" (running Snow Leopard in French) from the AirPort Utility but I can't access to it.
    The TC is in bridge mode.
    Thanks for help and guidances.
    Best
    Pierre

    The question is clear enough.. I just don't understand why you are having issues.
    Can you see in the internal disk of the TC in the finder?
    What format are you using on this disk? Try and format it HFS+ if it isn't already.
    If you plug it directly into the Mac it works ok??
    The other issue is the need for a powered hub on the TC due to the low power it gives the internal port.. or lack of bios compatibility with a range of usb hub chips. Try a powered hub as that can also help.

  • What does this error message mean? "An unexpected error occurred (error code -6584). It arises when I open my Time Capsule icon.

    I had a problem when downloading iTunes 11.1 and had to clear my disc and rebuild it from Time Capsule.  Thats when I learned that Time Capsule stopped backing up back in January.  So now I keep looking to see if Time Capsule is backing up but whenever I open the Time Capsule icon i get this error message.  What does it mean and how can I fix the problem?

    The backup is corrupted in some way.. you need to verify it.
    The error is common enough but there seems to be a range of solutions.

  • Will the USB port from the Time Capsule power an external hard drive?

    I am interested in purchasing an external hard drive (Iomega 1TB Helium Portable or G-Technology 750GB G-DRIVE mobile)
    to connect to my time capsule, expanding my wireless storage, but I want to know if the Time Capsule has a powered USB port or does the drive I purchase need to have its own power source? Also, Is there any compromise to using a drive that is USB powered, vs one that requires a power source?
    Thanks!

    Even if the hard drive that you choose has its own power supply, you usually need to use a powered USB hub with the Time Capsule.
    Reason....the USB port on the Time Capsule is under powered. You should not really rely on this port to power anything except a single printer.

  • Extend ethernet ports on my Time Capsule 1TB

    Hi,
    I need more ethernet ports for my time capsule. Somebody told me that a Switch would do the job. Now I need to know if a normal switch would do the job, or if I need a GIGABIT switch..
    Thx for your help!

    Depends upon the speed of the devices you are going to connect. Just purchase the gigabyte switch and make it simple. These switches are auto adjusting anyway.

  • Port Forwading Airport Time Capsule

    Hi There,
    I have got New Airport TIme capsule Today and not able to forward port .
    My Set up -
    Dlink Modem - My Modem has been setup with PPPe0E configuration.
                            It has own IP as 192.168.1.1
    ATC -              I have set up this as Static IP (192.168.1.2) in Airport Utility > Internet tab.
                           Network tab
                            DHCP Only
                           Range ... XXX....XXX
                            DHCP Reservation - Done
                           Port Settings - This is Disabled
    Now i have opened port 5900 for my macmini(192.168.1.3)  in my Dlink Modem .. for both IP (192.168.1.2 & 192.168.1.3) . But its not working and it's still closed.,
    I have tried to use DHCP and NAT option but it throws .. Double NAT err. However Port Open (5900) and i see amber color on TC.
    Please advice me in setting.
    Regards

    The D-Link "modem" appears to also be a router.....so the Time Capsule must be configured to operate in Bridge Mode to work correctly with another router "upstream" on the network.
    You only want one device handling routing functions on a network. Other routers need to be configured in Bridge Mode to avoid IP address conflicts and Double NAT errors.
    There are no port forwarding settings in Bridge Mode since all incoming and outgoing ports are already automatically open.

  • Manual port-forwarding to Time Capsule behind firewall (NVG589)

    A happy new year to all. I'm writing seeking help with my computer setup in a well-connected home. In short, here is what I want to do: I want to get access to my latest-gen Time Capsule (wireless AC) from outside my house, so that I can read or write files on the 2TB HD on my time capsule, using the Back to My Mac feature in the Time Capsule (with my Apple ID). I have no interest in sharing screens or anything else, just in the data on the drive.
    Now, my current setup, which otherwise works like a charm.
    ATT Uverse's Motorola NVG589 is the incoming modem/gateway/firewall for my entire house (using their 'Power' service, the fastest): it is possible via various tricks and hacks to put the NVG589 into 'near-bridge mode' or to root the modem via and exploit and through it into full bridge mode (which the Motorola NVG589 is capable of, but ATT does not expose that functionality [imagine the tech calls!]). I'm resisting the temptation to do so, because I don't want to the run the risk of messing up service to our house, and a call to ATT tech support. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
    The Motorola NVG589 has its DHCP service on and doles out IP addresses to everything else in the network (thankfully it also has a hidden mDNS system, too, allowing me Bonjour functionality inside my whole house). The Time Capsule, however, has a static-IP that I've assigned, and I also have a DHCP reservation for the Time Capsule in the NVG589's DHCP table.
    One crucial thing is that the Motorola NVG589 does not expose UPnP or NAT-PMP to the user, which means that I'll have to do the work manually to allow externally-originating traffic to pass through the Motorola NVG589 to the Time Capsule.
    Apple's latest Time Capsule 2TB unit, in bridge mode, so that its IP address is the one given it by the Motorola NVG589 (192.168.1.x, not the usual 10.0.0.x that the TC would give out were it the router). No double-NAT, in other words. The Time Capsule is solely a wireless access point and a passive shared disk (and my target for Time Machine on my Mac).
    Nothing else on my home network needs to be accessed from the outside world, no gaming, no servers, no Back to My Mac for any individual Mac computer (we have four).
    So what I'm looking for is help knowing what holes to poke into the NVG589's firewall to direct to my time capsule. I've searched through many docs here on Apple's support site, and the number of potential ports I could open is dizzying. Security concerns require that I open the necessary ports, and no more.
    I'd be grateful for any help.

    LaPastenague,
    I connected one of devices that I was trying to reach directly to the U-Verse modem and the port forwarding doesnt work anymore.  This must be somthing in the way I reconfigured the U-Verse modem to work with my new TC, becuase it used to work jsut fine.
    I have a U-Verse modem model number 3801HGV.  I have a new TC with a 3TB HD but I don't know the specifcs of what generation is it.  It is new and dual band WiFi...  that is why I am trying to use it as a wireless access point behind my At&T modem/router.
    As far as the details go, I will explain.  The port forwarding worked before I added the TC, so I'm sure I just dont have them working together yet.  The devices that I want to reach from my iPhone and iPad are a Foscam 8910W IP camera, and a Neptune Apex aquarium controller.  Both devices have static IPs and configured with ports 8080, and 8090 respectivly.  The IP camera is connected to the TC wirelessly and the Apex is a little different...it is connected to a Sonos (wireless music media) bridge via a ethernet patch cable.  The Sonos bridge is connected to the Sonos wireless network (assume it is a dedicated frequency) which originates at another Bridge that is physically connected to the TC with a ethernet cable.  Sounds weird, but it works as that is one of the features the the Sonos has is to offer.  I think it is similar to a wirless gaming adapter in that sense.
    As far as port fowarding goes, I configured within the U-Verse router to open up the two IP ports 192.168.X.X:8080 for the Apex and 192.168.Y.Y:8090 for the Foscam in the Firewall section called "Applications, pinholes and DMZ".  I would use my cellphone when away from home by putting my public IP along with the correct port number to get access to the assocated device (ex.99.56.289.34:8080).  The phone was on a cellular signal and not tethered to the wireless network.  My public IP always stays the same so I don't have to worry about that variable.
    Again, all this used to work, but now when I added the TC I cant access it externally.  Any suggestions to get this to work would be apprected.
    Best Regards

  • Can I activate the ethernet ports (routing) of Time Capsule "joining" an existing non-Apple wireless network ?

    Hello,
    I have a DSL modem that is also a WIFI router as my main WIFI network from room A. In room B, I have a TC wirelessly joining the existing WIFI network (not creating a new one). That works fine, I have one SSID, and I can wirelessly access the TC disks and backup my Mac on my TC.
    Now, I would like to connect a wired device (with on WIFI) to the ethernet port of my TC. Unfortunately, the ethernet ports of the TC don't seem to be "activated" as they do not have internet on them.
    More precisely, I'd like to connect a GE Cordless Skype Phone Model# 31591 (http://www.gephones.com/products/skype/dect-6-0-expandable-digital-cordless-phon e-with-skypetm.html) that connects to a router via Ethernet. I'm aware that I could simply connect it to the DLS router, but that's not what I want... Is there any way to activate the ethernet ports of the TC while in "join" mode ? Or do I really have to buy a Airport Express to create my main network and then extend it ?!?

    Thanks, the reason why I asked again, is because you told me to start another thread with the specifics of the device I want to connect, so I did
    Not a big deal, and it is easy to become confused.....but to be clear about this  
    Your question.....
    is there a way I can connect my Bluray player to the TC ?
    My Answer.....
    Please start a new post for that. Tell us the make and model number of the player and whether you plan to connect using wireless or Ethernet.
    so I tried to creat the main WIFI network with a first-generation Airport Express M9470LL/A (802.11b/g, no "draft N" or "n" support) and the TC wouldn't extend it either, is it too old/not supported
    Unfortunately, the "extend" setup will only work with "n" devices.  The older Express does not have a setting to "Allow this network to be extended", so the Time Capsule cannot pick up the signal.
    I'm not sure what else to suggest other than what I already have.  I'm assuming that you do not want to buy another new Airport Express.

  • How easy is it to plug a windows laptop into the ethernet port of a Time Capsule and for it to get an internet connection?

    I use Time Capsule to distrubute wifi thoughout my home.  I have an office laptop (windows) that my company's IT dept won't install a wireless card in (for security reasons????).  Can I get an intenet connection to the laptop if I connect it to an ethernet port on the back of the TC?

    Can I get an intenet connection to the laptop if I connect it to an ethernet port on the back of the TC?
    If you can get an Internet connection when you test using your iMac's Ethernet port, then you know that the Ethernet port is working on the TC and the Ethernet cable is also working.
    You should be able to get a connection on any other computer in the same way.
    If you cannot get an Internet connection on the PC with the same hook up, then you will need to do some troubleshooting on the PC....or call the IT guys at the company to find out what type of block they may have on the PC.

  • Port forwarding for Time Capsule

    Could someone be so kind as to forward instructions for portforwarding ports 80, 443,4125, and 554 on my time capsule?
    Im a novice user at best but I want to learn to set up security cameras for my small bussiness. Im useing an air link101 IP camera system.
    Any help would be great.

    Port forwarding on a Time Capsule is done in AirPort Utility's Advanced panel, Port Mapping tab.  You'll also need to use the Internet panel, DHCP tab, to reserve a fixed IP address to the camera so that the Time Capsule can forward to a definite address.

  • Certain pages won't open via Time Capsule - why?

    First of all, my internet works fine via Time Capsule - except 2 internet pages I cannot open. I tried with my HP Laptop (not via Time Capsule), they work. So it's to the pages fault.
    Does anybody have an idea why? Here are the pages
    www.united-fifa.de
    www.fifa-royale.de
    Until yesterday they worked perfectly fine. But now "the site cannot be loaded" anymore.
    Thanks in advance for help.
    Already tried: Reset Time Capsule, Delete Cookies, Reset Safari, Google Chrome/Firefox (exactly the same pages won't work there either), Restart Computer, Update Flash Player - nothing helped.

    1. Checked with ISP, everything is fine (Pages worked when i used my old HP laptop wirth the same ethernet cable...)
    2. broadband was always fine, even 2 days ago when all the homepages worked
    Maximale Internet-Geschwindigkeit:
    Download 75'000 kbit/s
    Upload 7'000 kbit/s
    3. It's a modem
    4. If I connect my old HP Laptop directly to the modem, all the sites work perfectly fine.
    5. Already reset to standard and i already use ethernet all the time (worked until 2 days ago) - nothing better.
    6. Switched to bridge mode but then i couldn't connect to the internet at all :/

  • Is there a difference between the Ethernet WAN port and the other 3 Ethernet Ports on a Time Capsule?

    As posted previously, my time capsule will not set up properly because I get an IP address conflict pop up window.  Is there a difference between the "Ethernet WAN Port" and the other three ports on the back of the Time Capsule?  I may have the DSL modem hooked into the "Ethernet WAN Port".  Thanks.

    it depends what you want to achieve and what configuration you have on your DSL modem/router.

  • Air Port Extreme and Time Capsule Over the internet

    Ok so here is my problem.
    I have an Airport Extreme with my time capsule bridged to it for local storage, and more ethernet ports.
    But I cannot seem to get file sharing to work over the internet with the time capsule.
    I do not have the share over wan checkbox and I do not wan to use mobile me.
    I also have a DYNDNS hostname to redirect to my ip.
    This works if I turn on file sharing on my computer but I want to use the time capsule as my server not folders on my computer, im on my computer haha.
    Any help would be greatly apreciated.
