WRT160N - Port Opening/Forwarding Problems

I've seen various references to issues with port forwarding on the WRT160N, but I don't think this specific one has been covered.
If I check for ports like 6667 being open on http://www.canyouseeme.org/, it fails on my WRT160N. However, it works just fine if I have my laptop connected directly to my cable modem.
I have my laptop on a static IP (192.168.8.2) and I have set up ports 6660-6669 to forward to that IP in the port range forwarding tab. I went ahead and set up Port Range Triggering, too, but that didn't help. I've re-updated the firmware, too, to no avail.
Any other suggestions? This doesn't affect me most of the time, but my IRC bouncer relies on this, so I'm hosed until I get it working.
Thanks.

Why did you change your LAN to 192.168.8.2. Sounds to me as if your modem is not a simple modem but a modem/router combo and your public IP address is on the modem and not the WRT.
Otherwise, please post the current connection Status of the WRT and the exact port forwarding, port triggering, DMZ host and UPnP settings.
In addition, on the computer to which you forward, open a command prompt window and enter "ipconfig /all" and "netstat -an". Post the full output of both commands.

WRT160n Port Range forwarding problem

I have a WRT160n that I am trying to forward some ports on for some DVR equipment. When I use the single port forwarding and enter each port separately it works fine. But I have 2 DVR's and they use a bunch of ports each so I want to use the port range forwarding because there are not enough spots in the single port forwarding section. The ports I am trying to forward are 8000-8004 for one IP address and 8005-8009 for a second IP address. I have entered it into the port range forwarding section but I can not connect from outside my network. As I said if I enter them in the single port section seperately as 8000,8001,8002,8003,8004 then I can connect fine outside my network. Any idea's what the problem is?

How about you isolate it first by forwarding the ports for one DVR. Forward them one by one on the Port Forwarding Range page then see if it works on one DVR. If it will, try to do the same thing for the other DVR.
Yes I already tried this with no luck. I tried just opening one port in the port forwarding for 1 DVR and it did not work, Opening this same port in the single port forwarding did work.
Is your router a version 1,2, or 3? Your router probably needs to be updated (firmware).
Firmware

Ver.1.02.11

And then reset and reconfigure your router again for internet connection and try the port range forward again and see if you can both DVRs working properly.

Port Range Forwarding Problem for E3000 and Iomega HMNHD Cloud

I'm trying to set up an Iomega Home Media Network Cloud NAS and I'm having problems with opening ports 50500-50599. I have opened port 80 and 443 successfully and included the above port range above as well, but when I check it on www.yougetsignal.com the ports 50500-50599 are still closed. I even tried to split the range in two parts, and still no success. I have been in contact with my ISP and confirmed they do not block any ports in the 50500-50599 range and that the cable modem (a Motorola SBV5120) is operating in Bridge Mode.
I am operating under an older firmware and hope that is not the cause of this problem. Also, using Win7 and Vista (tried and failed on 2 laptops).
Did I forget anything? Any suggestions/solutions? Thanks.

You may want to check out the list of tested hard drives to work with this router first. The link is E3000 and E2100L hard disk compatibility list. Based on the list, your iomega home media is not included. On the link for the tested hard drives to work with E3000, it is indicated that if your hard drive is not on the list, it may or may not work. With your case, since it is not working it may be due to compatibility issue.

LRT224 Port Range Forwarding problem

Hi
I have a new Linksys LRT224 Dual WAN Gigabit VPN Router. I want to allow trafic to parse on port 9100.
Connection Accepted TCP 91.102.93.5:63261->192.168.0.48:9100 on eth0
I understand that as it has accepted my request on port 9100 and forwarded it to 92.168.0.48:9100.
But nothing happen. when I telnet to 192.168.0.48 9100 on the inside it works so the printer seems to work properly.
Solved!

Make sure your firmware is up to date
Are you running load balancing because it should work as is?
I also noticed you change the default subnet or did you add a subnet?

WRT160N port forwarding problem

My internet address is static. since my ISP bridged this new router to my modem I cannot see my IP cams from work. the ports are forwarded (enabled) in the router, yet canyouseeme says they are not open. for example my lan ip range is 1.1 to 1.149 and one of the cams is set to 1.117. i can see all the cams locally without a problem. Does pppoe have to be configured on this linksys router when it is bridged with the modem?

Wait, your WAN IP address is static and the router has been bridged? BTW, was the router set to PPPoE or you are using a static ip address. If the modem was set to bridge mode then the configuration of your router should be PPPoE. If static, you need to set the static settings on your router. In order for you to check if the camera can be accessed the camera remotely, then try to ping your ISP's WAN ip(ex ping 66.65.115.36) and if you get 4 replies then you should now be able to access the camera remotely(ex http://66.65.115.36:1024). If you were subscribe to a ddns server like tzo then try to ping the domain name and if you have 4 replies then you should now be able to access the camera remotely.

Can't play online games but NAT is open and ports are forwarded correctly. What now?

Hi,
I have a DSL modem/router from Windstream that is hooked up to a linksy WRT160N which is then wired to my xbox 360. Now I have had problems in the past with the modem/router interfering with the WRT and creating a Strict NAT type. I have fixed that by changing the routers IP address to 10.10.10.1 (recommended by a linksys technical support person) So, now I have a static IP address setup for my 360 and opened all the ports for that and the games I play online but I can't find a game. It just continual cycles in limbo land and I never get a game to play. Is there anything else I need to change in order to fix my issue. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Please follow the below mentioned settings this should fix the issue for you.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 10.10.10.1 and press Enter...
Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
On the set-up tab change the MTU Size to 1365 and click Save Settings...
Click on "Administration" tab and disable the option UPnP and click Save Settings...
Click on "Applications and Gaming" tab and then click on "Port Range Forwarding" subtab...
1) On the first line in Application box type in ABC, in the start box type in 53 and End box type in 3074, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box, click Save Settings once done...
2) Once you return to the set up page click on the Security tab and uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...
3)Click on the Status tab and take note of DNS1 and DNS2 Addresses...
4) Goto the XBox Network Settings and IP Address Settings and select manual IP Settings and assign the following on your Xbox
IP Address :- 10.10.10.20, Subnet Mask :- 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway :- 10.10.10.1...
5) Also assign the DNS Addresses on the Xbox
Use DNS1 and DNS2 Addresses you took note off of the router status tab as Primary DNS & Secondary DNS for the xbox...
6) Turn off your modem, router, and Xbox...Wait for a minute...
7) Plug the modem power first, wait for another minute and plug the router power cable, wait another minute and turn on the Xbox and test it...it will connect...
IP Address: 10.10.X.[last part of ip in your device] e.g. if static ip given to the device was 10.10.X.10 get the last part and put that to the empty box.

I will Paypal you $100 if you can resolve this Port Forward problem

Believe me when I tell you, If you are the person who fixes this problem, I will GLADLY Paypal you $100.
This is so unbelievable. Short story is, after 12 hours of paid support through Support RIX, 6 hours with TWC support, and 4 different modems there isn't a single person in these groups that can get ports forwarded on my Linksys E4200 router.
I am running a fresh copy of windows 7 with all updates and no anti virus installed. I purchased a Motorola ARRIS SURFboard modem 200 series DOCSIS 3.0 so I have no double router issues. Before I was using the TWC moden/routers in bridge mode.
I have no problem setting a static IP or configuring port forwarding. It doesn't matter if I have windows firewall on or off. I can't get an outside port checking website that can verify an open port.
I am trying to play Battlefield 4 using the port forwarding request they provide.
If I run a local port check program on my computer it will confirm the ports open. Ok, Fair enough. They tell me the outside port checking utilities will say the port is closed unless I am running the program that uses these open ports.
SO I run the game and check and it always says port closed. One of the ports I want to open is 80. It has to be open to get internet anyway but it still shows closed using the online port checking websites.
I connected the computer to the modem. No router. I keep getting ports closed or filtered when I check through 6 different port checking sites. Leads me to think their is some kind of block in the ethernet card software.
Its a Realtek PCIe GBE Family controller with a driver date of 8/26/2014. Latest one I could find.
I think its an ethernet card filter. Just my thoughts. Here is the current adapter card settings.

I used a port tester downloaded from PCWinTech.com v3.0.0. It says the ports are open. When I close port 80 it says port 80 is closed. My problem is nothing outside my network can confirm an open port. It always states port closed.
The game I am playing is Battlefield-4. I have played all of the campigns without any problem but once online it crashes. The BF-4 community says I need to open 5 single ports and 5 port ranges. This is what I am trying to do.
We have tried an ARRIS router modem, a Ubee router modem (both in bridge mode) and are now using a motorola modem. All with the same problem. We checked the ports during game play and they all say closed.
I will post pictures of my current router settings.

What model router do you have?
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What region are you located?
What is your current model ISP modem your using now?
What ISP Modem service link speeds UP and Down do you have?
Check cable between Modem and Router, swap out to be sure. Link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAT6 is recommended.
Check ISP MTU requirements, Cable is usually 1500, DSL is around 1492 down to 1472. Call the ISP and ask.

Router and Wired Configurations
Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices ON the router. This ensures each devices gets its own IP address when turned on and connected, eliminates IP address conflicts and helps in troubleshooting and maintain consistency for applications that need to connect as well as mapped drives.
Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
If http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipv6 is an option on the router, select Local Connection Only.
If you set up port forwarding, disable uPnP and test.
When you check for port status, you have to be actively using the port before you scan check as you may get a false negative if your not using the port. If your using the port then check the status, you should get an accurate result.
I would try using Port Range Triggering instead of PF and set up the port as follows for your PC that your gaming with:
0 thru 65535. A bit less hassle to set up then all those different port rules.
PC 3rd Party Security Software Configurations
Turn off all anti virus and firewall programs on PC while testing. 3rd party firewalls are not generally needed when using routers as they are effective on blocking malicious inbound traffic.
Turn off all devices accept for one wired LAN PC while testing.
Disable any downloading client software managers, i.e. Torrents or similar.

Problem with Port Range Forwarding WRV54G

I have configured my WRV54G to do the following, in this order, on the Port Range Forwarding page of the router:
1. Forward port 3389 to LAN Static IP x.x.x.100, a desktop PC. I have confirmed this works, a port scan shows this port is open and I can remote desktop into x.x.x.100
2. Forward port 443 to LAN Static IP x.x.x.101. I have confirmed this works, a port scan shows this port is open I can VPN to an SSL concentrator at x.x.x.101
3. Forward port 3390 to LAN Static IP x.x.x.102, a desktop PC. THIS DOES NOT WORK. A port scan shows that this port is not open. I have configured the remote desktop host at x.x.x.102 to use port 3390. Netstat shows that x.x.x.3390 is listening on this port. I can remote desktop to x.x.x.102 from inside the LAN, no problem, so it's not an issue with the PX configuration.
So, then I switched the order of the port forwarding instructions, in this order, as follows:
1. Forward port 3389 to LAN Static IP x.x.x.100, a desktop PC. I have confirmed this works, a port scan shows this port is open and I can remote desktop into x.x.x.100
2. Forward port 3390 to LAN Static IP x.x.x.102, a desktop PC. I have confirmed this
works, a port scan shows this port is open and I can remote desktop into x.x.x.102
3. Forward port 443 to LAN Static IP x.x.x.101. THIS DOES NOT WORK. Port scan shows this port is not open.
It looks like the WRV54G is only recognizing the first two entries in the Port Range Forwarding table and IGNORING the third entry. HELP??!!
I have the latest firmware installed: v2.39.2e
Anyone have a solution? Thanks in advance!

Are you still using the DHCP server range of x.x.x.100 through x.x.x.149 ? If so, then your problem may be that you are using illegal fixed LAN IP addresses.
With Linksys routers, any fixed LAN IP address must be outside the DHCP server range, and it cannot end in 0, 1, or 255.
I would suggest that you fix the illegal addresses, then see if that resolves your problem.
Here is the full set of rules for using fixed LAN IP addresses:
With Linksys routers, a fixed (static) LAN IP addresses must be assigned in the device that is using the address. So you need to enter the fixed address in the computer or printer, not in the router.
When using a Linksys router, any fixed LAN IP address must be outside the DHCP server range (typically 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149), and it cannot end in 0, 1, or 255.
Therefore any fixed LAN IP address would normally need to be in the range of
192.168.1.2 thru 192.168.1.99 or
192.168.1.150 thru 192.168.1.254
assuming you are still using the default DHCP server range.
Also, in the computer, when you set up a static LAN IP address, you would need to set the "Subnet mask" to 255.255.255.0 and the "Default Gateway" to 192.168.1.1 and "DNS server" to 192.168.1.1
It is also important that no two devices on your network be set to the same static LAN IP address.

Problem with COM port opening

I made an application using COM port to dialog with a microcontroleur and i have some troubles with the opening of the port. i developed it under window XP pro and labview 6.1 and i have no problem when i launch my application on an XP PC having labview installed or on a window 98 PC without labview (just the runtime engine). But when i launch it on an XP pc with only the runtime engine, it seems to launch correctly but in fact, there is a problem with the COM port opening. The menu allowing to chose the port number is inactive and has no effect, like if the software wouldn't recognize the material port on the PC. And consequently, nothing happens when the dialog should start.
Thank tou for your precious help

Is the VISA run-time engine installed? I don't understand why it would work on the win98 machine unless you have an older installation of it there.

WRT160Nv3 port forwarding problem

Just bought a WRT160Nv3 and installed it.
everything is working fine, but the Port Forwarding. I need to forward port 80 to an internal static IP.
I set up Single port forwarding for http -port 80 to destination static ip 192.160.x.x and enabled the setting, saved it.
I have static internet IP.
So I accessed the server with http://192.160.x.x and it works. I accessed the server with http://internet_ip from the Linksys's internal network and it works.
I tried to access http://internet_ip from other locations, and it is not working.
I enabled remote web administration on port 8080, and that works from every location... So the connection from internet to the router is OK, but it does not forward the port to the local static IP.
I tried enable/disable DMZ and uPNP but nothing changed.
Router firmware:v3.0.02
Please help me solve this issue. I'm out of ideas
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I tired to forward port 8888 to 192.168.0.x:80 but still doesn't work.
I cannot change port 80 on the ip cam (it has a very limited interface).
But I can access the camera from a local computer with the http://192.168.0.x AND with the internet IP too http://internet_ip (port 80 forwarded on the router) from the same computer.
I still cannot access it from the internet (other locations). What could be the problem. I set up a lot of linksys routers but this is the first time I have problems with port forwarding.
I removed http management for both local and remote to be sure that the router does not use the port 80, but no change.
I tried to access it within other browsers, computers, but no luck...

Hr200 port forwarding problem

I have a problem - when i follow all the 'correct' procedures for setting up port forwarding on this router when i chose to save the settings the port numbers change - to irrelevant things
whatever port i use
often displays start 0
and end 4294967295
also seen it refresh the page on save with 256 start and 255 end, and start 1 end 0.... which are also just nonsense
i really dont understand what i have done wrong or if there is something wrong with my router (it has the latest firmware version as it is quite new) - i have tried with static i.p inside 192.168.1.100 - 149 and also outside that range with the same results???
has anyone come accross this problem?

Hi… Here the screenshot for the Port Range Forwarding for you router. Login to this router with its IP address (default IP 192.168.1.1) in IE and setup the port forwarding. On the setup page, click on gaming and administration under which you will find port range forwarding..... Also make sure that port range should not be in reverse order like 1 to 0 ... it should be like 0-1 ... You need to assign a static IP address on the computer for which you want to forward the ports. You cannot forward the same port for more than one computer. In that case you can use port triggering. Port Forwarding is used when you host any service from that computer. Port Triggering is used when you access any service on the computers behind the router.

RV042 vpn&port forwarding problems

Hello,
I spent a few days trying to configure the RV042 router but I messed up. I need this router for VPN access on my site and Port Forwarding to an internal web server. Apparently very simple task, isn't it?
So:
1. PPTP is working fine but I need more than 5 concurrent accesses.
2. Quickvpn does not work when the DHCP server is checked and I can't access any computer from my lan. I have a DHCP server in my LAN but when I'm conected through Quickvpn I never reach it. In the log file there are messages like:
Connection refused - Policy violation TCP 169.254.x.x->192.168.1.2 (DHCP server from my lan)
3. On Setup > Forwarding I added a Port Range Forwarding for HTTP port 80 to an internal IP address (192.168.1.x). I although added a firewall access rule to allow traffic to Port 80 from any source interface and any source IP to 192.168.1.x.
From the internal LAN, using the WAN IP of the router, the Port forwarding works but not form the outside, though in the log file of the router it appears to work:
Connection Accepted TCP 208.64.252.230:33027->192.168.1.x:80 on ixp1
What could I have done wrong?
The router is configured with a static address as a gateway and it has the latest firmware 1.3.12.19-tm. The access rules are the default ones and the one I added.
Any help would be much apreciated.
Thanks.

Can't answer as to why QVPN fails when you enable DHCP on the router, but concidering your requirements it seems to be a moot point. So, you have a DHCP server on your network which I will guess is also running your Web service. If this is a Windows server does your current configuration allow you to enable PPTP on it? If so, that would solve the five user limit. You will need to turn off the PPTP server on the router and then forward port 1723 TCP to your server and you are done. As for your http access, remove any rule that you have in reference to "allow" port 80 connectivity to your web server. Not sure why but this tends to confuse the poor little things. Once you have verified that port 80 is active on the server via the LAN (which you already have) then you are done. If you are still not successful with the connection to the server from the WAN you may want to default the router and start over (lame I know).
*** SORRY, just noticed that you stated that you added a "port range" forwarding rule. Remove that, and configure a UPnP rule for the same server instead. Do not know why they call it that, they just do. This is the same as configuring a single port forward they just call it something different. So just port forward 80 tcp to your server on 192.168.1.x and you are done.

I can't hear, they can hear, speakers on, ports open.

I've got a little puzzle... Here's the setup:
MacBook, Mac OS 10.4.6, internal iSight, i.8 Ghz Intel Core Duo, 1.25 GB RAM, Using my own 1.5 MBPS wireless network router with Airport Express. Internal Mic on, Check. Speakers on full blast, Check. Quictime streaming, sound prefs, iChat prefs, check.
iMac G5, Mac OS 10.4.6, external iSight, 1.8 Ghz G5, 1.25 GB RAM, Using Neighbor's 1.5 MBPS wireless network (with full permission, of course.) Internal Mic on, Check. Harmon/Kardon Soundsticks on full---well maybe half blast... Check. Quictime streaming, sound prefs, iChat prefs, check.
Opened all ports on my own Actiontec router described from Apples KB in many different configurations. From opening as many ports as possible in different ways using UDP and TCP and both going with AND against Apple's suggestion.
I was able to get through the "Failed to respond" issue (Stupid routers) and I was able to initiate a 4 way conversation (Finally!) Between five different parties, swapping between them, of course. Everyone was using the same iChat, best configuration on their ends. (New Macbooks and G5's, all using iChat 3.1.4 and all settings on as best to their knowledge.)
Myself: I initiated the conference. I could see all three parties.
Party 1: I can see and hear them, they can see and hear me. They are on the same network as I am.
Party 2: I can see them, but I can't hear them. They can't see the conversation, but they can hear the conversation.
Party 3: iMac G5 on neighbor's network, I can see it, and can hear it. It can see the conversation, but can't hear the conversation
Party 4: (switched with Party 2) I can see them, but I can't hear them. They can hear and see the conversation. Both try initiating conversation, 1 on 1 too, same results.
Party 5: 1 on 1 conversation. I can see, and hear them, they can see and hear me. Both try initiating conversation. Same results.
It's mostly an audio problem of me being unable to hear most other parties, even though i have my MacBook speakers up as far as it will go. Why will some parties be able to allow their audio to pass through to me, while others would not? It seems it's coming from my end.
What do I do, how do i fix this, are there any suggestions? Am I doing something wrong that I shouldn't be doing?
This is all my router's fault.

Hi Dustin,
If this is a one computer LAN then Port Forwarding can be used.
This needs just these ports open:
AIM TCP 5190
AIM UDP 5060, 5190, 5678, 16384-16403
Jabber TCP 5220, 5222, 5223
Bonjour TCP 5298
Bonjour UDP 5297, 5298, 5353
This works even ikf you don't specify the "scoop and point" method the Apple Doc lists for more commercial devices.
This will not work for LANs with more than one Mac and as AIM on a PC also uses port 5190 for both logging on and file sending you need to use a method that allows mulitple computers such as Port Triggering or UPnP.
Port Triggering for the AIM side of iChat needs to look like this.
Trigger port 5190 on TCP to Trigger 5190 on Both UDP and TCP
Trigger port 5678 On UDP to trigger 5060, 5678, 16384-16403 on UDP
On some devices you can not specify the trigger in the list of ports as in the second line.
You may have to split into two lines.
Trigger 5678 on UDP to trigger 5060 on UDP
Trigger 5060 on UDP to trigger 16384-16403 on UDP
The Bonjour ports and the Jabber ports ned to be entered as single port entries on the relevant TCP (Jabber and Bonjour's 5298) and UDP protocols.
The AIM application for a PC will need
Trigger Port 5190 on TCP to Trigger ports 1024-5000 on TCP/UDP
Hope this helps.

Linksys e1200 PORT RANGE FORWARDING is not working

I currently have an E1200. I can port forward single ports, but when I attempt to forward a range of ports it doesn't work and there is no error in the log.
Specifically I am port forwarding RTP ports (10000 - 20000). I am aware of the security risks, please do not preach.

I have a problem with port forwarding http port 80 this for i surveillance camera.
I have all the settings are correct but I can not convert. Opening this port Also no other ports open. Who can help me on the way to this is to get together. I mtu gezte the firewall function in 1400 and put on the standard port 80 http to put. and of course the ip address that is in the same range.
I do not know what I'm doing wrong because the old linksys just worked. It I hope someone can help me.

Open NAT problems with Xbox One .

When I first got my 1900ac I used Media Priortization to get an open NAT for Call of Duty Advanced Warfare on my Xbox One ; prioritizing the Xbox . It worked fine for about 6 months until I changed cable/net provider to Nextech in Ks. This company uses the 1900ac to hook up it's system for all it's customers ( since I already had one they're using mine ). Unfortunately I'm unable to get an open NAT in this game anymore ; I've tried just about everything , NAT forwarding , triggering , Media Prioritization . Nextech support & Xbox Live support , useless . Tried Portforward . com , nothing . Forwarding port 53 cuts off net connection & doing the static ip change for Xbox didn't help . Almost everything I've looked at seems out of date & I'm at my wits end . It would seem by now Linksys should have solutions available , any ideas ?

Thank you chin_pamz13 for your response . I tried to check if my modem had a public or private ip address but I'm not sure how to do that ; I've read about double NAT's elsewhere . Regardless , I think I've finally found a solution that seems to be working so far . I went to the website " tech - recipes . com " & found an article , " Xbox One open NAT " by Aaron St. Clair . I tried his first suggestion about port triggering , with extra ports I had'nt seen before . That did not work for me so I followed his instructions for putting the Xbox in the DMZ & it's working ! I think my problems from before were the result of improperly setting up the static ip address for my router & Xbox . Previous instructions had me changing the ip in the console along with the router ; Aaron said not to do so in the Xbox , let the router do the work it's supposed to do & make sure the settings in the console are on automatic . In the router at the DMZ , I was'nt sure how to proceed , but at the bottom is a section labeled DHCP reservations list ; clicked on that , saw XboxOne , clicked on that & it filled out the MAC address above for me . Then I went to the Xbox network settings , advanced settings & clicked " automatic " at ip address , subnet & DNS . I checked mutiplayer connections & did the " hold bumper & trigger buttons " trick & finally got an open NAT ; fired up CoD Advanced Warfare & got the open NAT there also . I may have screwed up when I did the port triggering but since the DMZ fix seems to work I'm going to leave things alone . Hope this helps others with open NAT problems .
