WRT 160N port forwarding

Hello!
I tryed describe my problem in live chat, but it hangs, and it impossible to type there....
I use router WRT160Nv2, firmware version is v2.0.02 build 015 (May 26, 2009).
On this router setted up 3 network interfaces:192.168.0.254 - local interface, connected to my own local network.
10.50.15.143 - external interface, connected to my provider's local network.
194.114.132.114 - VPN interface that used to connection to the internet.
On the tab (in router's web back-end) Single Port Forwarding setted up forward of TCP and UDP port number 30000 to IP in my local network (192.168.0.1).
If remote request cames to VPN interface (194.114.132.114) - all works fine, my local computer receives request.
But if request camse from provider's local network (to IP 10.50.15.143) - router dont forward this request (my computer dont receive it).
The same problem presend if using DMZ.
How can I setup my router to forward remote requests from local provider's network and VPN (that received by 10.50.15.143 and 194.114.132.114).
Before I contact support by email [email protected], they wrote that they test it in lab, but during more than week I have no response.
Thank you,
Olexandr.

As you have mentioned in your Post that when someone sends you the request for the VPN on your ISP IP address your Router dosent accepts the request.
Whats the IP address you are getting it on the Routers Status Tab is it 10.50 or 194.114? As you have already enable the Single Port Forwarding on your Router, this will open that port on your Router, and that post is not a IP Specific port, it will accept the request from any IP address.

Can not port forward on WRT54GS v6 "You cannot use the router IP"

Hello, I'm trying to open a port number, but when I try to use my router's IP, the following message appears
"You cannot use the router IP, network, or broadband address"
[IMG]http://i45.tinypic.com/107qond.jpg[/IMG]
My ADSL was working as a NAT behind a NAT connection, so I had to change my Local IP Address to 192.168.2.1.
Router: WRT54GS v6 firmware 1.52.8 (latest) - Bellsouth router: Westell 6100

So, please help me, how can I open ports on my router? =[
PS: I tried to use 192.168.2.100, and even though it lets me use it, it still seems not to open that port... my IP is dynamic.

Generally: NAT behind NAT is a bad idea. There is usually no need for double NAT. Either configure the ADSL router as bridge and use the WRT for your internet connection or set up the WRT as simple access point behind the ADSL router.
It's also unclear to me what is working or not. First I thought you can't set up forwarding at all because you get that error message. Then, in your PS you write you tried to use 192.168.2.100 and that seemed to be possible. The IP address to forward to must be the IP address of the computer to which you want to forward. Thus 192.168.2.100 is exactly the IP address you have to set up. Does this work or not?
Also remember: with double NAT you must set up two forwardings: first on the ADSL router then on the WRT. Port forwarding is necessary to allow incoming traffic through NAT. All incoming traffic arrives on the ADSL router. Thus setting up port forwarding on the WRT only won't do a thing.
It's also not recommend to use dynamic IPs for forwarding destinations. Dynamic IP addresses may change over time and that requires you to adjust forwardings accordingly. It's better to reserve fixed IP addresses (if your WRT supports this) or set a static IP address on the computer outside the DHCP address pool.

Problem with Port Forwarding (when PPTP is up) in WRT-160N

Hi, everybody!
I'm looking for some help with Port Forwarding in my new router from Linksys. I've bought the router afew daysago, and was badly surprised when I found out that there is DD-WRT firmware is installed in it (the router was 100% NEW when I've purchased it). I have downloaded the latest original Linksys firmware file and successfully flashed it.
But I still have problem (same I had on DD-WRT firmware too) with port forwarding for my DC++ and Vuze (app for torrents): I've written port forward for ports 49151 (for Vuze) and 4000 (for DC++) to be forwarded to my desktop computer (IP 192.168.1.201) -- I've seen a post at this forum, that there could be a problem, if you forward to an IP, which is inside DHCP local zone, so I've forwarded it to .201 IP (my local DHCPzone is 192.168.1.100 - .149). But forwardind doesn't work ((
What's wrong?
My configuration:
Router IP: 192.168.1.1
PPTP (I've got it from my ISP)
IP address: 192.168.226.127
Default Gateway: 192.168.226.2
DNS 1: 192.168.1.1
DNS 2 & 3: 0.0.0.0
PPTP Server IP Address: 192.168.226.2
Username: ****
Password: ****
Single Port Forwarding:
Application name     External port     Internal port     Protocol     To IP address     Enabled
Vuze 49151 49151 Both 192.168.1.201    Checked
DC    4000 4000            Both           192.168.1.201 Checked
Solved!
Go to Solution.

As you have mentioned in your post that your ISP has provided you a PPTP connection with an IP address: 192.x.x.x. The IP address which is provided to you by your ISP is in a Private Range, and if you try to forward any ports on your router it will not work, as your ISP modem will block that port. So you need to get a Public IP address from your ISP.
As you are getting Private IP from your ISP, so this connection is called as NAT behind NAT, and your Modem is acting like a Router.
So now you have 2 options, get the Public IP address from your ISP or change the connection type.

Two web servers cant use same port forwarding rule???

I have two web servers, each configured to respond to http reqests on port 80. I use NoIP service to map a domain name to my router. I create a port forwarding assignment for Server A by selecting the WebServer rule in the port forwarding rule table. All is fine. For Server B, I select the same Webserver rule and the router says there is a conflict.
I don't understand why. I think the router has enough information to route a http request for Server B by knowing its MAC address, which is different than Server A MAC address.
What am I missing here???
I was able to do this on my previous router with DD-WRT.....
So it would appear the way to resolve this is to assign a different port address to Server B???
grrrrrrrrrr I hate this router

You shouldn't have been able to do that on any router. You have to change the listening port of server 2, to 8080 or something like that, or make one a secure server and run it over 443
That is a known issue with port forwarding
Problem #8:
Same Port in Multiple Rules
There are some routers such as Linksys, D-Link and many others that do not do any checks if a port is already in another port forwarding rule. A port can only be forwarded to one Computer/IP at a time. So when there are multiples of the same port number the port forwarding rule will not work.
Here is an example.
As you can see port 2350 is in 2 rules. The 1st one points to a different IP than that of the 2nd rule. So the router will honor the 1st rule and the 2nd port forwarding rule to port 2350 fails.
By removing the 1st rule the 2nd one will now work.

Hooking up a Westell E90-610015-06 and a Linksys WRT 160N?

Please help me. I have spent hours trying to get my Linsys WRT 160N wireless router to work with my Westell 6100 modem (E90-610015-06). I have tried the suggestions from dslreports, so please do not send me a link to this website. Setting the modem to bridge and setting the wireless router to PPPoE does not work. Also, changing the IP address on the router does not work. Does anyone have any other ideas?

changing the IP Address does work.
You might be doing something differently.
Let me tell you a few things to check
You have to open your NIC properties
make sure its set like this
Then plug your PC into your linksys, or make sure you connect to it wirelessly.
put in 192.168.1.1
http://ui.linksys.com/files/WRT54G/v1-v4/4.20.7/
Change the Local IP Address on the first page to reflect 192.168.0.1.
Then plug your linksys into the westell.
reboot the linksys, then reboot the pc (or you can do a repair, or an ipconfig/release and ipconfig/renew in DOS) and as long as the westell is online, everything else will pass internet traffic through
I hook those up all the time the same way and they work just fine.
if it doesn't work again this time let us know, and KEEP IN MIND this is how it should ultimately look
Wall -> westell -> linksys plugged into the yellow ethernet port, and plugged into where it says WAN on the linksys
then your PC wirelessly connects to the linksys.

EA6400: Port forward two Netgear ReadyNAS FTP servers

I have a new EA6400 router with the latest May 2014 firmware. I also have two Netgear ReadyNAS network attached storage devices that are set up as FTP servers. With my old Netgear WNDR3700 with DD-WRT firmware (after the last thunderstorm, may she rest in peace), I could easily set up both with port forwarding and access them outside of my LAN by setting up 4321 and 4311 as ports that translate to 21 and 21 to two different addresses on my network. I have them set up the same way in the EA6400, going into Single Port Forwarding and forwarding 4321 to 21 at 192.168.1.144 and 4311 to 21 at 192.168.1.143, but the EA6400 tells me that I can't use the same port (21). Why not? They're going to different addresses. (Oh I wish I could get DD-WRT on this router!) Is there a way to set up two FTPs on a local network and make them accessible through the EA6400 to an address on the internet?
I have also attempted to disable one of the port forwards and attempted to access the remaining FTP server and have had no success. I have successfully forwarded a port on the EA6400 to my security camera system so I can monitor my home from the internet, so I know the basics of how this is done. I just can't get single port forwarding to work with my NAS FTP servers.
Any ideas?

I switched the settings around and now the other ReadyNAS is coming up, but the one that used to come up no longer does. I also tried replacing the 10001 with 2121 on both EA6400 and on that particular ReadyNAS because it seemed to be a little more common a number for an alternate FTP port.
So now I have access to the one I couldn't access before and the one I could access before I can no longer access. Of course I can switch them back around again, but I'd like both to work.
Of course one could potentially put the blame on the ReadyNAS as possibly not being able to work FTP off any other protocol than 21 but I have to place blame on the EA6400 router firmware. This worked well under DD-WRT.
Anyone have any more ideas? I appreciate the help.

Router model wrt 160n v2 help!

i have a router wrt 160n v2 and i need a good amount of help ive tryed calling linksys support and they tell me the same thing everytime and its not the problem, i have a modem that uses a USB and before its worked just fine then about 3 weeks ago its just went out. So i went to go buy (the model above) to replace it and when i hooked it up it shows it connected in port on the little sign that looks like waves are being sent out is lighting up and the power is lighting up. but the one that looks like saturn WILL NOT LIGHT UP! best buy told me i need to have the thing configured and im thinking thats it but linksys is telling me i need to call my internet porvideder and get a new modem which is not the case so i think its just need to be configured can anyone help?

I think in this case you need to reset your router and reconfigure the settings on it. First Connect the Modem to Linksys router on Internet Port and your computer to Linksys router on Port No.1. Once the Physical Connection is done, 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...

How to port forward with Modem and Router

I have a Linksys AM300 Modem and a Linksys WRT610N router.
I want to forward ports for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and STEAM.
How do I port forward when I have 2 devices and how can I test that it is working?

I would recommend that you reconfigure your AM300 into bridge mode. In bridge mode it operates like a standard modem would do. Then reconfigure the WRT610N for your internet connection, i.e. most likely PPPoE. Now the WRT has a direct connection into the internet. Now you only need to configure port forwarding on the WRT610N.

Can only port forward port 80, other ports does not open.

I am trying to open three ports on my AE (7.6.1), but the only port that actually opens (if set) is port 80.
- The Airport Extreme is the router and no additional router is in place
- I have given the three cameras (that I want to access from Internet) static IP
- I have trired to open three ports for those (45101, 45102, 45103)
None of above ports open, but if I change one port to 80, that port opens and one camera can work. This is really strange and any suggestions or help is much appreciated!

As you don't want to use the modem as router I would recommend to reconfigure your modem into "bridge" mode. In bridge mode it works like a simple modem. You then have to configure your WRT for your internet connection (usually PPPoE for DSL or DHCP for cable). With this setup, you don't have these chained routers and the WRT has a direct connection into the internet (i.e. the WRT shows your public IP address on the Status page).
Some chained router setups shows problems with drop outs, connection loss and similar. I recommend to use only one router in home setups.
On a sidenote: port forwarding is not related to firewall functions. The reason why you need port forwarding is because a router does "NAT" (Network Address Translation). You use private IP addresses inside your LAN (e.g. 192.168.1.*). Private IP addresses are not routed into the internet. Any internet router will immediately drop packets with a private IP addresses. Thus, your router does NAT to map your private IP address to your single public IP address. It's in the nature of this mapping that unsolicited incoming traffic from the internet is dropped unless you configure port forwarding. That's simply because the router would not know where to sent a packet on a port 1234 received on its public IP address unless you tell it. Thus disabling the firewall on a router won't change a thing.

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.

WRT54G2 v1.5 and Port Forwarding.

For some reason my WRT54G2 is not forwarding ports correctly. I have a development server running Windows Server 2008 and IIS behind the WRT with the correct external ports forwarded to the corresponding internal ports however any outside connection to these ports times out. To knock the firmware as being the issue out I downloaded the newest listed on the support site (1.5.00.019) and performed the 30/30/30 reset. Still unable to see these ports open externally. Finally out of frustration I dusted off my old router and opened up the ports to my machine and was able to hit the ports right away. Is this an ongoing issue or anyone know of a surefire fix for this?

Comcast (business with static IP) is the ISP. My WAN IP is correct and I'm able to access the internet just fine on the server and wireless clients connected to it. As far as ports open I currently have four; two of the ports are standard HTTP, one is for SSL, and one is for VPN. All of which point to the same development server. And as stated before I took my old router (WRT54g v2.0) and set it up with virtually the same settings and have been able to communicate with the server remotely.

WRT54GL v4.30.7 Port Forwarding

I am unable to get port forwarding to work with this HW/FW combo. All outgoing access works perfectly.
I've tried all the common suggestions:
Bypass router to confirm ISP is not blocking ports (In fact, I enabled logging via the Administration | Logging tab and can see the incoming traffic, but it never gets to the destination on the LAN side).
LAN-side server machine has a static IP.
Enable DMZ (and disable port forwarding).
Disable all router security.
Still nothing gets through!
I have yet to try 3rd-party FW, but I doubt that will work. I've seen no other posts on this forum with a similar problem, so I doubt it is FW. I think I have a defective router.

Yeah, I thought it was strange at first too. Apparently v4.30.7 was pre-installed to aid those folks upgrading to DD-WRT. Check this out for more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WRT54G
I was thinking...
I am still using the BEFSR41 as a switch on my network. It's configured for "Router" (as opposed to "Gateway" ) mode and it's uplink port is connected to one of the LAN ports on my WRT54GL. But I might have another computer connected to the port shared with the BEFSR41 uplink port! I'm not sure because I'm not at the site right now.
Could that be the problem? I can't believe it would be the only problem. I'd expect to have no connection on the computer hooked to the shared port. That's not the case. I'm betting that I did not make that mistake. I'll certainly check when I get the chance.

Port Forwarding (WRT310N)

Trying to open port for my DVR to use. I use the single port forward in the set-up of the router and enabled them. Port 8080 and 9001 but I can't not get to see them on canyouseeme.org. Why is the router blocking the port yet? How do I fix this problem. On network magic the router sees DVR.

Does not answer whether the ports are really open on the DVR or not.
Open a command prompt window, enter "telnet 192.168.1.50 8080". Replace the 192.168.1.50 with the IP address of the DVR. Also test 9001. Does it connect? Or do you get an error message?
In addition, check the IP address of the WRT on the Status page. Make sure it's identical to the IP address as shown on an internet service like http://whatismyip.com

WRE expander port forwarding?

People,
I would like to remote access to the WRE configuration page passing thru a WRT54G wireless routing.
I use to do this very easy with other devices going to "port range forward" configuration of the WRT but I don not know at wich port the WRE expander respond ??
Anybody could help me?
Thank´s
Daniel

I kow that is the ip address for an internal network. But le say the WRT54G router has its ip internet access for example 200.81.150.153 If I configure the port forwarding WRT54G setup pointing that service port 1025 redirect to 192.168.1.240 This will permit access from other location using internet browser in this way http://200.81.150.153:1025 so I could see the configuration page of the WRE54G in a remote location via internet.
I use to do this with IP cameras and other devices but I do not know how to do it with the WRE54G a do not know the port ( I´ve put the port 1025 as an example but Indo not really now what is it.) ¡

Port forwarding / PPPoE setup / WRT54GS as access point

Hi,
i have 3 questions as u can understand from the subject
First's lets make a rough sketch of the net topology
Internet -------- DSL Modem ------- WRT54GS >>>> 2 wireless laptops
                                                               |
                                                               |
                                                               |
                                                    Wired Desktop PC
My DLS Modem is a Siemens Speedstream4200 connected to WRT54GS using an Ethernet cable. WRT54GS is v7.0 using firmaware v7.50.0. The 2 laptops run Vista Home Premium and my Wired Desktop Windows XP Pro.
So, now to the questions:
A. I tried using PPPoE in the Internet connection box of the WRT54GS, i supplied the username and pasword of my ISP but i couldn't establish an internet conection. Of course i didn't turn off the modem, router and pc as pointed out in topic with AnwerId = 2210 which i found today, will do that tonight, so hopefully there will not be a problem. I just switched from DHCP to PPPoE.... so, there might not be a prob after all... (is turning on and off the hardware that substancial ? )
B. I am currently using DHCP as the preferred Internet connetion type. I tried to forward a port to use with uTorrent. I gave my desktop pc a static IP (192.168.1.199), forwarded the port to the corresponding area of the router's page (port 59876, both protocols, enable) and unchecked the Block anonymous requests. Had no luck . Thing is that i am not sure about the TCP/IP settings i have used...
Static IP :               192.168.1.199
Subnet   :              255.255.255.255 (default value)
Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1 (the router's IP)
Preffered DNS    :  62.178.90.17
Secondary DNS :   62.178.90.18
The DNS's are the ones that my ISP gave me. Are these the ones that i am supposed to use here or should i use my routers IP as a DSN? (my DSL modem is accessed in the network at http://192.168.254.254)
C. I have also a second WRT (currently not connected) and i want to use it as an access point (extending the range of my network in a building)
I am thinking of something like the following

What do i have to do ? connect the 2 WRT54GS, make sure that both WRT54GS have the same SSID and use different channels? What about port forwarding ? i guess i will have to forward the IP of the access point to the router and the IP of my PC to the access point ? ? ?
Well, thx at least for your time to read my email

A. If you cannot set PPPoE on the WRT although it is supposed to be required for your DSL connection then probably the SpeedStream is operating as router as well. That's why you can use internet connection type DHCP. You should post the full information on the Status tab of the router. It will show how you are connected to the SpeedStream and whether it is a router or not. Otherwise you could also do this test. If both IP addresses are not identical then you have a router/modem. You should consider putting the SpeedStream into "bridge" mode. In bridge mode it operates like any normal modem. Then you should be able to configure the PPPoE connection on the WRT.
B. Obviously, if your modem is also operating as gateway router port forwardings won't work unless you configure port forwardings on the modem/router as well. The modem/router is the device with the public IP address. You have to forward ports from the Speedstream to the WRT WAN IP and on the WRT to the computer in question. You should assign a static IP address in the internet connection settings of the WRT (for similar reasons like for the computer). As this is complicated this would be another good reason to put the modem into bridge mode. Then the WRT is connected to the internet and you only have to configured port forwardings on the WRT.
C. See here. For a roaming network wireless settings on both WRTs must be identical except for the channel numbers. If you set up the second router like suggested there is no port forwarding on the second WRT.
