WRT160N V3 DMZ and Port-Forwarding dont work

Hi All,
i have a WRT160N V3 and DMZ or Portforwarding dont work.
i tried locally following
WAN_PC-> WAN-PORT -> WRT160N V3 -> LOCAL-PORT -> LOCAL_PC
The WAN_PC has a Static-IP 192.168.1.2, Subnet 255.255.255.0
The WAN-PORT has a Static-IP 192.168.1.1, Subnet 255.255.255.0
ON the WRT160N V3 i configured a DMZ on 192.168.0.100.and Disabled the Firewall.
On the LOCAL_PC (192.168.0.100:8888) is a Apache
So when i type 192.168.1.1:8888 on the WAN_PC i get NOOO Website from the Apache on 192.168.0.100:8888?
WHY??????????????
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Please correct me if I am wrong. My understanding of your setup is that you have a computer plugged-in to the internet port of the router and another computer plugged-in to the ethernet port of the router? Is that correct? You do not have a modem for internet connection or something like that? If you can post here a diagram that will be better. Thank you.

HH3 Type B port forwarding not working.

Hi there.
I have searched absolutely everywhere for a solution to my problem before posting here. Basically port forwarding isn't working at all on my HH3 Type B router.
I've read all about the problems people have had with the Type A's but as far as I see nobody seems to have a problem with the Type B in regards to port forwarding or loopback.
I've set up port fowarding on many different routers with many different ISP's so I don't think it's something I'm doing, or rather, not doing but you never know.
These are the steps I take when setting up port forwarding:
Firstly setting up my static IP (obviously only needed to be done once) which I've chosen one outside of the routers DHCP range as I've always done in the past. Then I open the router screen, go to Settings / Advanced Settings / Port Forwarding / Supported Applications and click "Add new game or application".
I then enter a name, change "Copy existing game or application" to "No", and then change the "Protocol" to UDP or TCP as needed (also have tried using "Any" too with no luck). Next add a "Port Range" for example 12345 - 12345 then add "Translate To" 12345 - 12345 (port ranges obtained from portforward.com per application) then click "Add" and repeat for additional ports as needed.
Once that is all done, click "Apply" then go to Port Forwarding / Configuration or go to Home Network, select the applicable device and choose the newly added application from the "Port Forwarding" drop down list (and choose applicable device if doing it from Port Forwarding / Configuration). Click "Add" once application is selected.
Add additional applications where needed then finally click "Apply" to store the forwarded ports.
Close router page and port forwarding should be fully setup and working.
That's basically how I would do it anyway, but I also checked on portforward.com and it says pretty much the same and on these forums as well as a few other sites and I see nothing different but port forwarding still isn't working.
In my router "Event Log" it does show "The Port Forwarding entry of [xxx.xxx.x.xx] has been added or modified.".
My Firmware version is V100R001C01B036SP03_L_B. Last updated 19/05/13.
I have no firewall on my pc and the one enabled on the router is set to default but have also tried disabling it. Have tried enabling DMZ as suggested in various places with no luck and have tried changing UPnP settings again with no luck.
So if anybody has any suggestions I am all ears because this is bugging me so much as there are a few applications and games that require port forwarding and are pretty useless without it really.
Thank you.

If you follow the instructions on this page, it should work. Please see note about CG-NAT.

SA 540 Can't get port forwarding to work.

Now that the DMZ port doesn't seem to work, I have placed our Web and CRM server on a VLAN. I have created a firewall forwarding rule -> WAN to LAN HTTP allow always and pointed it to the internal IP address.
When I type in our domain name in the browser I only get the Cisco remote management page, no forwarding to the web server.
What am I doing wrong?
I have tried to disable the remote management, but that still doesn't change anything. (btw, how do I change which port the RMON uses, it's grayed out in the setup page)
SA 540 firmware 1.0.39

No it does not work from outside my devise, I just get to the RMON page, no forwarding to my Web server at all. I've taken all FW rules away and just have the WAN to LAN allow HTTP "ip address of server" but still nothing.
I got confirmation that the DMZ/Optional port does not work, I can't SSL from our Apple computers to our Network, and now it seems like we can't get our Web or e-mail servers working either if there is not port forwarding. On top of this, it now also seems like the SA 540 is blocking EDNS packets, slowing down our DNS server. Please tell me that there is something to be done, it can't be that Cisco have put a "Pro" devise out where only 9 out of 10 ports work and that you can not host Web, email or CRM servers because there is no port forwarding, not to mention it only supports IE browsers for SSL.
I don't mean to sound cranky, but we have spend so much time trying to get this devise to work, please help. (I wish I could give you some logs, but logging doesn't seem to work either)

Xbox 360/one problem and port forwarding

For a couple months now (since I got my AirPort Extreme) I have not been able to connect to a certain friend on xbox. I can connect to anybody else however. The only way we can (kind of) connect is if somebody else is host and we both connect to him.
My NAT type is Moderate. When I try to test my connection on my xbox it says that I can connect but I am limited in matchmaking (this is joining games and using voice chat, which is the problem named above for my particular friend). The xbox shows the error and suggests that I enable UPnP or open the port 3074.
The problem is that I have already have! I gave my xbox a static IP and forwarded the port 3074 to that IP.
(I have also tried forwarding all the ports that xbox live uses to the xbox. These being:
Port 88 (UDP)
Port 3074 (UDP and TCP)
Port 53 (UDP and TCP)
Port 80 (TCP)
as found on the xbox website... https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-360/networking/network-ports-used-xbox-live
I made sure to put them in the right text boxes for UDP and TCP so that is not the problem either.)
I know that the AirPort Extreme does not support UPnP but does have a similar thing called NAT Port Mapping Protocol which was already enabled. (I tried all possibilities of enabling/disabling NAT...Protocol and port forwarding/not port forwarding.) --- This is not the solution as I see it
In short: My xbox tells me to open port 3074. I already have. It still tells me to open it and still won't work.
I posted this on the apple discussion page (instead of the xbox discussion page) because I know that it's not an xbox problem. When I had my old linksys router it worked perfectly.

I have this exact same question and problem. I know this doesn't help, but would appreciate any updated information if you find an answer. I'll keep working on this also and let you know if I find an anwer.

Are "Back to my MAC" and "Port Forwarding" mutually exclusive?

I have been using APExtreme and Port Forwarding successfully for several weeks now. The PF is to allow access to game players on a PC which acts as a server on the web. All Good.
One more thing, I have a ISP provided wireless modem/router to talk to the cable and the world. It seems to work either bridged or un-bridged.
I have disabled the wireless on the ISP's modem/router. (Actually the ISP's device doesn't hold a candle to the APE.)
Still all good.
So the firewall is on in the APExtreme and none on the modem router, and I have a port defined for my gamers to get access to my server in the APExtreme.
I now want to implement Back to my MAC on my MBP and my other Apple devices. I believe these use iCloud for which I have an account and it seems to be working well with my iPhone.
In Properties, when I select BtmM, iCloud says communications will be slow if I have port forwarding on. Also I will not be able to use the router function in my Modem/router.
I'd really like to have the modem/router firewall up, and do the port forwarding there, but the BtmM will likely not get through.
So what does anyone suggest?
Can I use BtmM and port forwarding without too much degradation?
Please advise.
Thanks
Barry

To best answer your question on whether the two are "mutually exclusive," let take a look at how Back to My Mac (BTMM) basically works.
BTMM - General Requirements
OS X Leopard 10.7.3+
Active iCloud account. Each Mac & the AirPort router, that will be relying on BTMM, needs to be configured with the same account.
A publicly reachable IP address for your router.
A router that supports either NAT-PMP or UPnP. For AirPorts, be sure it is running 7.6.1+ firmware.
BTMM uses TCP port 5354 and UDP ports 4500 & 5353 for communications.
BTMM - Basic Communication Flow
For a computer connected to the Internet via a router, BTMM "asks" the router for its configuration information. For a router, like your AirPort, that uses NAT-PMP, BTMM will ask the router to assign arbitrary public ports. In turn, the router will provide these port assignments (& the router's Public IP address) back to BTMM.
BTMM then sends this information to the iCloud account. In background iCloud updates a special set of DNS entries to be used by BTMM. These entries are then made available to all BTMM clients using your iCloud account. When a computer, with BTMM enabled, uses your iCloud credentials, it automatically retrieves a list of all other computers/routers that are registered with the same account. All these devices should then appear under the SHARED section of the Finder.
When attempting to connect to a remote computer (or router), BTMM creates a secure connection to that remote device using the information from the iCloud account.
Once the connection is established, the devices can then communicate with each other.
So potentially, unless you are using Port Mapping for any of the ports BTMM uses, they should not conflict.

How to know if port forwarding is working?

i have 2 routers one netgear and the other linksys W4tg45 and i have port forwarding the same on both. now when i connect the netgear i am able to access the website from outside the LAN and when i connect the linksys it is not working anymore. is there a way to do diagnostics on the linksys to see that the port forwarding is working fine? charbel

Try to update firmware on linksys router, that might make it work. You can download latest version from www.linksys.com/download

Port forwarding stops working several hours after reset

I have a WRT350N (fw v. 1.03.2). It's connected to an Alcatel ADSL modem (PPPoE configuration). I've configured port forwarding to allow HTTP and SSH into a linux box on my home network (static IP). I am able to get to the linux box from outside for the first few hours after I set up the configuration, but a few hours later I am no longer able to get to it from outside - port forwarding stops working though the settings remain as I'd left them. Over the course of various attempts I've had the external connections just die (404 errors, host not found, etc) and sometimes the connection went to the router - getting the WRT350N login prompt (remote management is turned on, but on port 8080, not 80, so this was unexpected).
The only way I've found to resolve this is to reset to factory defaults and reconfigure. Then it works again for a few hours and shortly is again not forwarding. I've tried other ports (VNC, RDC, telnet, SMTP) and the forwarding stops working on all ports at the same time. My home machines are able to get out to the internet with no problems.
I thought the router had a hardware flaw so i replaced it with an identical model yesterday, and sure enough, today I'm again stuck without external access to my home website.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks,
Nick

I was able to trace the problem to torrent downloads. It seems the router wasn't handling all the concurrent connections when handling torrents. I haven't had problems since i stopped downloading torrent files. I did add a static port mapping and configured utorrent to run on a single port on a machine with a static address but haven't had cause to download any torrent files since then, so i don't know if that will fix the problem.
That being said, i've had no issues since i stopped the torrents.

Port Forwarding not working correctly (BTHomeHub 2...

I recently picked up the new Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 for my pc. Playing online mathes works fine, however trying to join with my friends and connect with them for co-op fails to work. My NAT setting in game was listed as strict and my friends (both on BT) had moderate so I assumed it had to do with that.
After some research, I found out I had to forward ports to my PC which I've done but yet the game still refuses to connect. Sometimes I get lucky and, after forwarding the ports, I load up the game to be shown NAT: Open and I'm able to join my friends quickly, but after about one minute the game disconnects and my setting changes back to Strict.
Now my problem is either one of two things:
a) My ports are opening but are closing after a minute or two.
b) Something is wrong with my router.
It should also be noted that one of my friends actually had his NAT setting turn to Strict but he was easily able to forward his ports and get NAT open again. I copied exactly what he did and it didn't work. If it helps, I've also tried setting my computer up with a static IP and port forwarding to the exact IP address I set and not the device name, which still didn't work.
Thank you for any and all help. I really hope I can get this sorted soon.

Port forwarding is not likely to be the issue, there are many posts regarding NAT( Network Address Translation) issues, all over the Internet.
Here are some examples from this forum.
http://community.bt.com/t5/forums/searchpage/tab/message?filter=location&location=forum-board%3AOthe...
If you look at my port forwarding help page, there is an address you can go to to see if a port is still open. Just choose any one of the port numbers associated with your game, and see if it still shows as open.

Port Forwarding not working after 7.7.1 Firmware update

I bought the new 6th generation Airport Extreme today, and after I set it up, everything worked great. I have a VoIP phone that needs to have traffic on port 5060 forwarded to it, and that worked just fine as well.
However, I then updated to the 7.7.1 firmware, and the port forwarding stopped working. I tried a hard reset of the Airport and re-entered all the settings, but it still didn't work. I spent about 30 minutes on the phone with 2 Apple support people who tried hard, but couldn't help. They also couldn't find a way to download the 7.7 firmware, so there was no way to downgrade. They suggested I go back to the store and exchange it for another one, which I did, and now it all works again.
Has anyone else had issues with port forwarding on 7.7.1? I'm just wondering how I'll ever be able to update the firmware, since failure means having to get a new Airport.

Huh,
turns out the problem went away with another restart of the Mac Mini. I'm still uneasy about it though, as I do not understand how it went from working to not-working over night in the first place. But, at least for now, the problem seems gone.
Thanks for commenting.

Port forward stopped working after update

i updated my software and the port forward stopped working and it will no longer allow access to my ip camera.

Hey Cab,
Yea, mine stopped working since the update to 10.8.2. It was working fine prior to the update cause I used it at work on a 50 inch Samsung. I undrstand that there was a driver update but I'm not sure why.

E2000 Port Forwarding Stops Working

I am using port forwarding for running a webserver. All is working fine. After a random number of hours or days, the port forwarding stops working. I can get in and look at the settings and they are correct. I can then change something on the port forwarding screen and resave it and it starts working again. Do I have a bad unit ?

Webserver might not be set to static IP. Try setting the webserver to static IP first, then make sure that static IP is enabled in the Port Forwarding screen of the router's web-based setup page. Also, protocol should be set to BOTH (TCP-UDP). You can also try having less firewall/AV restrictions on the web server (or none at all) and set MTU to 1400.

Airport Express G getting Port Forwarding to work from Airport Extreme N

I have an Airport Extreme N connected to a cable modem. I have an Airport Express G in another room, connected to a Local Ethernet Network. The AE G is setup as a WDS Remote to the AE N. Connectivity works and all is well.
What doesn't work is when I try to forward ports from the AE N to a device/system connected (via ethernet) to the AE G. The kicker is the port forwards work from "inside" the network. Outside they don't. I have been able to forward ports to anything connected to the N directly or wirelessly.
Any thoughts on what the proper configuration of the AE G or the AE N to get port forwarding to work from the AE N through to the clients of the AE G?
I have DHCP, and the clients of the AE G are getting IP addresses and working as they should.

I checked that. I can forward ports all day long to anything connected directly (or wirelessly) to the AE N. Anything connected to the AE G, ports won't forward. For some reason the AE G in bridge mode is not letting ports forward through.
Thanks for responding, though.

RV215W router port forwarding not working

RV215W router port forwarding not working.
Port forwarding works for a short period of time, then stops working. Reboot router, works again for short period of time, then stops again.
I have updated firmware to latest. I had seen other similar bugs posted for 220 and I think 180, not sure if this router has similar bugs and waiting for fix release to firmware.
I had recently purchased two, one deployed, will hold off on other now because of issues, and may have to move to different unit if a resolution not found this week.

It's not just single port forwarding that has bugs, the entire router has bugs and simply does not work as advertised. I have found the following bugs/aspects of this router that just does not work correctly: 1. If you have to open ports, and who doesn’t, this router will eventually stop accepting packets from WAN>LAN. You will still have Internet access but no open ports. A reboot will fix this problem. Oh, by the way, this router has no scheduled reboot option! <--That would be a workaround but a welcome one for this router. 2. Firewall Access rules do not work!! Yep, a Cisco router and basic functionality simply does not work. I called Cisco and even though the tech saw the router not working denied it was a bug! Said we have to do port mirroring, setup a workstation with WireShark and capture packets so we can debug the issues. That would take several hours. I told him I would have appreciated if Cisco would have debugged the issues with their router BEFORE they shipped the units. Stay away from Cisco Small Business Routers. I wish I had. And if there are any Cisco die-hards out there willing to prove me wrong, just reply to this and please, prove me wrong that the RV series and specifically the RV215W is not JUNK.
