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
11/08/2010
Ver.1.02.11
Download
3.15 MB
Firmware
11/15/2010
Ver.2.0.03 Build 9

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.

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.

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!
Go to Solution.

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?

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.

The router forgets Port Range Forward settings

Hello, after a year or so of working absolutely flawlessly, the router, all of a sudden, started forgetting the Port Range Forward settings. In particular, I have port 80 set to go to a specific IP address. Every now and then, it will start going to a different address within the network (even though the Port Range Forward page still shows it pointing to the right IP address).
I disable Port Forwarding for that port, then re-enable it and everything is fine. For about day or two and then the problem re-appears.
What could be the issue?
Thanks.

What is the model no of the Router...?
Who is your ISP...?
What firmware you are using on the router...?
Try to reset the router and re-configure it from scratch.Now,check if that make any difference.

What's safer: Port range forwarding or Upap?

Hello there,
I recently replaced my router and since then have been unable to get video and audio chats to work. I get the "XXXXX did not respond" message. Text chat is fine. By what I have read in this forum, my problem has to do with port settings on my new router, a Linksys wrt54gx2.
My question is this; is it safer/more secure to use port range forwarding or the universal plug and play option? Do I need both?
The Mac OS X firewall settings are currently off.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
John

HI John,
This is not a suitable device for iChat for some reason.
This page is for the WRT54GX (not the GX2)
This shows the Port Forwarding for this device (and the default IP and User ID and Password).
You should not use Port Forwarding and UPnP together.
The UPnP setting in in the Admistration tab.
Port Forwarding uses NAT (Network Adress Translation) and this can cause problems between some devices.
UPnP does Broadcast that is available but is normally limited to a few Hops.
In most device this can be limited to just one hop if you require.

Unable to Save in Port Range Forwarding

I'm using the BEFW11S4 wireless router and am unable to save the new port range forwarding settings I have entered. Everytime I click Save Settings, I receive a box which reads:
"The server 192.168.1.1 at Linksys BEFW11S4 V4 requires a username and password.
Warning: This server is requesting that your username and password be sent in an insecure manner (basic authentication without a secure connection)."
When I enter the same u/p that I used to access the router in the first place, it rejects and keeps bringing up the log in screen.
I cannot get the port range forwarding to save at all due to this.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you!

try remembering the password you used for first time while installing the router .... if not then use default password admin with out any username ....
If still not working then you need to reset the router ....

Router won't save settings of Single Port Forward or Port Range Forwarding

Hi everyone, I'm having a bit of trouble tonight trying to get my Playstation 3 to play games online and in doing so I'm attempting to enable Single Port Forwarding and or Port Range Forwarding.
To start, I am using this link below this paragraph as a guide.
http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Cisco/Linksys-E1000/PS3_Endless_Saga.htm
Each time I go and set the settings and click save, it tells me the settings have been saved successfully then when I click continue onto the next page it shows they actually haven't saved at all. My router is out of it's 90 day phone support with Linksys and I refuse to pay anything extra for support so I'm hoping someone else will be able to help me with my issue since they refuse to unless I pay them.

Hello. Sucks you ran into trouble just after PSN got back online
Try clearing your cache / cookies then re-do the settings. Also, try using a different Internet browser.

WRT54GL Port Range Forwarding?

Hi. In Port Range Forwarding there are only 10 lines (konfigurating 10 diff. ports). What if you need to forward more ports than 10?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Install 3rd party firmware like dd-wrt or tomato.
Of course, you shouldn't need so many forwardings to begin with.

Port Range Forwarding on E1000

Ports selected to forward in the the 'Port Range Forwarding' page do not forward. They do however forward properly from the 'Single Port Forwarding' page.
Help?
TIA

to re-iterate again ..
recent changes made to 'Single Port Forwarding' work .. but changes (as well as existing) on 'Port Range Forwarding' just dont forward.
to re-iterate again ..
stuff (whether existing or newly added) works for 'Single Port Forwarding' .. but stuff (whether existing or newly added) does NOT work for 'Port Range Forwarding'.
This any more clear?
Thx

WRT54GC resetting Port Range Forwarding

I have a WRT54GC, with firmware v1.05.7. And I have recently modified the Port Range Forwarding. It will work OK for a day or two, then for no reason it stops working. When I check the configuration, I see it has reverted to the old Port Range Forwarding config. So I change it again, save it, and again it will work for a day or two before reverting to the old config. How can this be happening?

Hey try resetting the router reset button in such a way that power light is blinking on the router & then do a complete network power cycle i.e., unplug the power cables from the modem & from the router & then plug in the power cable to the modem first once all the lights are solid green you could plug in the power cable to the router & check out it will definately work!!

DMZ v. Port Range Forwarding????

Ok, DMZ opens all ports. But I was wondering if port range forwarding might be better. Once again I am still trying to eliminate lag with my 360. I enabled the port forwarding for the ports specified by the 360. I also blew all ports wide open with DMZ. Is it better to just port forward without DMZ? I don't care about the security issues. I just want speed. I already disabled all firewall features of the router. My PC is locked up tight and I'm not worried about it. The ports I forwarded are 88 TCP and 3074 Both. Is there something I'm missing here? I'm running a 5 meg connection. It's faster than my old DSL connection. I even found a website that told me to change my IP manually on 360 which I have done and it worked to open my NAT. Any gamers please help. Again I'm not trying to do anything to my PC. That connection is fine. Just need to tweak more upload with less lag to 360.

ok.......How do I use them? Triggered Range start port? to end port? Forwarded Range start point? to end point? Would it be the same forwarded ports? do I put the same port # in all for areas? I'm working with WRT54GS ver. 6

Port/Port Range Forward limit on Airport Extreme (N)

Hi there,
Can anyone please tell me if there is a limit to how many ports I can forward to separate machines in my LAN in the new Airport Exreme N?
Currently routers like the Linksys WRT300N only provide 10 items for port forwarding and port range forwarding, respectively. Flashing a Linksys router with DD-WRT gives you an unlimited amount.
Thanks very much!
Mac OS X (10.4.8)

There is no noticeable limit. Everything I see in the manual hints that you should be able to shove as many as will fit into memory... which is a lot.
The main reason for the limitation is that companies like Linksys, for whatever reason, do not like to mess with the complicated HTML required to support 'unlimited' port forwarding in their tool. They get around the complexity by putting enough fields on the page so that they hope their customers don't run out.
In Apple's case, the configuration tool is a native application, rather than a web page, so it is simple to support 'unlimited' port forwarding.

Is WRT54G v5 'Port Range Forward' mean the same as NAT ?

Dear all:
As title said.
Do I missunderstand anything?
I would like to sent magic packet pass through WRt54G, thus I would like to set port forward.
Could anyone help ?
I thank you in advance.
Best Regards
chen min

NAT represent network address translation as well.
I think WRT54G supports WOL except WOW directly.
I try to sent magic packet pass through WRT54G. And according of log information, It did passed through WRT54 on the port which I assigned.
I think it would be possible if boardcasting IP was allowed in Port Range Forward.
I kept looking for more information from forum.
