WRT54G v5 (v1.02.6 ) Port Forwarding

Hi guys,
First of all, let me confirm that I've searched almost everywhere regarding my issue here .
I'm trying to setup an openVPN network to my home network. In the backend, my computer is set-up as it should, meaning I can establish openvpn connections as long as I'm on my internal network.
To make use of this, when I'm not at home (duh!, what's the point in setting up a VPN when...), I need to forward port 1194 to my internal IP:1194
I have a WRT54G that does it's job as home router, however I do not succeed in setting up the port forwarding
I have set it up as such:
Application Start End Protocol IP Address Enable
openvpn 1194 1194 Both 192.168.1.106 check
I've turned of the firewall, and tried putting 192.168.1.106 in DMZ...but still a no-go.
I know my ISP is blocking ports < 1024, anything above should work however. (I tested it before with a WRT160N, which did do port forwarding as I would expect, however due to it's own problems, switched back to my WRT54G).
I'm pretty sure I have set-up things as they should. Does any know a more in depth way of debugging this issue?
Thanks!
Hans

When your Computer is behind the Linksys Router and you are trying to access your Office network using VPN? or from the Remote Location you are trying to access your Router using VPN?
The Router which you have it will act like a VPN Client. The Computers which are connected to the Router can Connect to a Remote VPN Server. But if you want to access your Computer from a Remote location using VPN then it will not support.

WRT54G Setting static ip and port forwarding for Xbox360

1)This is my first post and I'm a little new at this. I have a WRT54G v5 router with the latest firmware update. I have the proper ports fowarded that I found on this site. I basically want full priority to my xbox360 because I have been having some lag issues and dropping out of rooms, especially when someone is on the computer. I set a static ip on the xbox, I just picked 192.168.1.36 (Is that an ok #?).
2)I have everything hardwired so I disabled 'wireless access web" under administration and I also disabled "wireless network mode" under the "Wireless" section. Is this correct or ok?? I don't want my neighbors or anything wireless accessing my router, will that do the trick?
3)I'm looking at the first page you see at the linksys config page (under setup) and I see a section that says
Static DNS 1:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Static DNS 2:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Static DNS 3:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
My question is do I need to put the static ip that I assigned to my xbox in one of these static DNS entry spots??
4)Under: Applications & Gaming>QoS I set Ethernet port 4 (the one my xbox is on) to high priority. Is that all I need to do to get priority to the xbox over the computer? Or do I need to enter something under "Device Priority" such as device name, mac address, etc.? And do I need to enter something under "Application priority" such as: Application Name, Optimize Gaming Applications, Priority, and Speciific port #, etc.??
5) Should I disable UPnP?
It's kind of a lot of questions but I really want to understand this fully, any help is greatly appreciated.Thanks alot!

If your XBOX is Wireless , then you need to login to your Router with the Default IP : 192.168.1.1 by opening up a Web Browser.
Then change the Wireless Settings of your Router SSID , Channel : 11, Security : WEP Or WPA Persoanl.
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 53, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box...
2) On the second line in Application box type in PQR, in the start box type in 3074 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...
3) On the third line in Application box type in XYZ, in the start box type in 88 and End box type in 88, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box and click on Save Settings...
4) Once you return to the set up page click on the Security tab and uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...
5) Click on set-up and change the MTU Size to 1452 and click Save Settings...
6) Goto the XBox Network Settings and IP Address Settings and select manual IP Settings and assign the following on your Xbox
IP Address :- 192.168.1.20, Subnet Mask :- 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway :- 192.168.1.1...
7) Also assign the DNS Addresses on the Xbox
Primary dns :- 4.2.2.2...Secondary dns :- 192.168.1.1..
8) Turn off your modem, router, and Xbox...Wait for a minute...
9) 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...

WRT54GS v6 Unable to do Port Forwarding

Yesterday, I downloaded the latest firmware for my router since I had been having some odd issues.... Anyways, I need to forward ports for gaming and such, and now I am totally unable to.
When I put in the ports, which gave me no problems in the past, I consistently receive the error message: "Port Overlap Occurred! Please change your Entry!"
I tried this from another machine on the network with a different operating system and received the same message. I am not sure what is going on? Is this anything to do with the firmware?

well in this case you need to reset the router back to factory default settings, try following steps... try reflashing/upgrading firmware for the router, after upgrading firmware on the router, reset the router back to facotry default settings and reconfigure it according to ISP settings, assign a statis IP on computer, e.g. 192.168.1.10 Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway to 192.168.1.1 Primary DNS 192.168.1.1 Secondary DNS 4.2.2.2... logon to router's setup page, enable UPnP, reduce MTU to 1365 and try forwarding ports again and let me know if it works or not...

Cannot get port forwarding to work on EA6500

Hi,
I have an EA6500 to replace the old WRT54G. I have an Apach server on my PC. On the WRT54G, I could easily set port forward to the server, it was working fine. But on the EA6500, I simply couldn't get it to work any more. What am I missing?
TIA

Thanks for the reply.
As it turned out for some "security" reasons, EA6500 port forwarding only allows access from outside of the network, but not from netwrok behind the router. So annoying, however I found this work around

look for poster sflick1's solution, it really works.

App QoS vs Port Forwarding in WRT110

Hello,
What would be better to set in my WRT110 router to make sure my online game gets priority overall: Application QoS or Port Forwarding? I can see the WRT110 has this new feature that I didn't see with my old WRT54GS.
If it is Port Forwarding, which one since there is Single Port and Port Range Forwarding? Now, I must keep the DHCP settings since I'm on laptop and I travel a lot.
Thanks in advance

If you travel a lot then Single Port Forwarding or Port Range Forwarding are not your options...You need to do Port Triggering...

WRT54GS v6 - Port Forwarding Field Colors (Yellow vs Green)?

WRT54GS v6, Firmware 1.52.0
Can anyone explain the color coding for the text field backgrounds under the "Port Forwarding" section?
I have severally seemingly normal port forwarding entries with green backgrounds, and then one entry whose text fields are all backed in yellow.
My assumption is that the 'yellow' entry is not working correctly.

normally there is no colour coding involved in Port Forwarding....may be what you are thinking is correct....

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
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
   Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : launchmodem.com
   Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::40a9:a76e:61b3:6435%11
   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.100
   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.1
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.

Setting up router for port forwarding - WRT54G

Hi all. I'm trying to set up my WRT54G wireless router so.i can port forward the relevant ports for my programs. I understand that you have to set up a static ip address before you can do a port forward which makes sense as you do not want to keep changing the ip address for the forwarding settings every time your network refreshes. But I cant seem to have it set up. And is there a rule that the static ip that you set should not be within the dhcp range?
After setting up the static ip and setting up the port forward settings how do I test if the port is being forwarded correctly?
Please assist! Thanks!

IIt;s usually to set the static IP outside the DHCP range like you said. You can use the router's DHCP reservation feature to set a "static IP", and as for your last question, you can find different methods on how to do that by searching the web.
I don't work for Cisco. I'm just here to help.

Port forwarding to different ports on the Linksys WRT54GS.

As you can guess, I have a Linksys WRT54GS wireless router...one of the original 1.0 versions with speedbooster. Behind this router I have my standard set of machines with dedicated IP's and a set number of IP's for additional devices to acquire IP leases dynamically via DHCP should I bring them home. One of these machines with a dedicated IP is my Debian file server. This machine is headless and without keyboard. It just sits in the corner of a room and hums along. I use SSH to remote into the device to perform maintenance, shutdown, restart, etc.
My question is this. I would like to know if the WRT54GS can be configured with "unassigned" WAN facing ports (such as 7468) to forward to "assigned" ports such as 22 which is used for SSH. In this way I can leave the default settings for SSH on the Linux machine but have 7468 as the SSH port when connecting from other computers on the Internet. My goal here is to reduce any script kiddies or other malicious code from being able to target the well known port 22.
In the Games & Applications setup you can find port forwarding and port triggering. It appears that you can only forward by port range. See this link. It gives a start and end to the port range. This appears to only forward a range of ports to the destination IP which is not really what I want to do. Do I need a hacked firmware version to accomplish this?

you can set the same port number on the port range...
as for the assigning a specific port for a specific machine, I doubt if it's possible with the a Linksys router...you may need a hacked firmware for this. Or you can DMZ just on the Linux..

WRT54G v.3 Port Forwarding Reset Problem

I have a Linksys WRT54G and I've had it for well over 3 years. I've been using another Wired router as a DHCP server and only used the wireless router for wireless access.
But recently, I took the wired router away and began using the WRT54G. I set up everything correctly including Port Forwarding, but the strange thing is that whenever I reboot my computer, the port forwarding service stops. If I enable it, disable it or do anything else, it still won't work.
The only way to fix this problem is to 'Reset Factory Settings' every time, but it gets really frustrating doing it every day. Has anyone else had this issue? P.S. - I have the latest firmware.

WRT54G Delete Port Forwarding Entries

I have a WRT54G v5 with the latest firmware upgrade.
While updating my network I decided to delete old entries from the port forwarding table. Every time I try to delete a port entry or the IP address the error checking routines warn me that a blank entry is out of range then replace it with the old entry. This error check does not depend on the Enable check.
I CAN overwrite the old entries with new and things work OK but I would just like to delete old entries. I have searched the forums here and cannot seem to find anything related to this problem. This is probable trivial since disabling the entry works but I would just like to have the table cleared.
I have NOT reset the router yet although I'm sure that would work.
Thank you

Hi,
Have you tried leaving the box with the number "0", instead of leaving it "blank", then save the settings?
*just a thought*
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is mystery. Today is a gift.

WRT54GS Not saving port forwarding info.

I gave up on an older router, and had the wrt54gs sitting in my closet. I had to set it up for the PSN and COD4, but everytime I enter the port forwarding info, it says its saved, but erases it.
The info is:
TCP 80
TCP 443
TCP 5223
UDP 3478 - 3479
UDP 3658
All enabled on PS3s IP
Click SAVE SETTINGS
It opens a black window that says settings saved
I click OK
and everything has been erased.
Im on firmware 7.50.2.
Ive tried both firefox 3 and internet explorer. (ff3 error console gave me no errors)
DMZ is enabled for my PS3.
Ive tried both a wired and wireless connection.
I can use my PS3s browser (if that matters)
Any suggestions?

You need to Upgrade the Firmware on your router...Download the Firmware from here , Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device: -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page.In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
Leave the username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
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 and do the port forwarding and check if it saves the settings...

RTSP steaming Port Forward (?) problems with 4 (four) WVC54GCA cameras on WRT54G v2 router.

I am having difficulties correctly setting up my four (4) WVC54GCA cameras on a WRT54G v2 router to make them stream RTSP videos that I can view on my BlackBerry Bold. I can access the cameras from the internet, through
http://CAM1_SubDomain.Linksys-Cam.com/1024
http://CAM2_SubDomain.Linksys-Cam.com/1025
http://CAM3_SubDomain.Linksys-Cam.com/1026
http://CAM4_SubDomain.Linksys-Cam.com/1027
so that part works fine.
All the 4 cameras are set up with static IP addresses.
The default RTSP port 554 and RTP Data port at 5000 are forwarded to CAM1 IP address. I can access CAM1 RTSP feed on my Blackberry Bold (and also on a good old Samsung SGH-A706 cell phone).
CAM 1 Settings:
STATIC IP: 192.168.1.201
Alternate HTTP Port: 1024 à Forwarded to 192.168.1.201
RTSP Port: 554 à Forwarded to 192.168.1.201
RTSP Data Port: 5000 à Forwarded to 192.168.1.201
RTSP access on cell phone WORKS only with the following format: rtsp://CAM1_SubDomain.Linksys-Cam.com/1111, where 1111 is the access code.
CAM 2 Settings:
STATIC IP: 192.168.1.202
Alternate HTTP Port: 1025 à Forwarded to 192.168.1.202
RTSP Port: 1029 à Forwarded to 192.168.1.202
RTSP Data Port: NOT SURE IF I NEED TO FORWARD ONE, HELP PLEASE
Despite I have a dedicated subdomain for each camera from TZO, the following link DOESN’T WORK
rtsp://CAM2_SubDomain.Linksys-Cam.com/1111, where 1111 is the access code.
Actually, when I enter the above link, the cellphone brings in the feed from CAM1, I guess due to the identical access code with CAM2. Once I change the access code for CAM2, it doesn’t’t show any feed.
CAM 3 Settings:
STATIC IP: 192.168.1.203
Alternate HTTP Port: 1026 à Forwarded to 192.168.1.203
RTSP Port: 1030 à Forwarded to 192.168.1.203
RTSP Data Port: NOT SURE IF I NEED TO FORWARD ONE HELP PLESE
Despite I have a dedicated subdomain for each camera from TZO, the following link DOESN’T WORK
rtsp://CAM3_SubDomain.Linksys-Cam.com/1111, where 1111 is the access code. This feed also brings in CAM1.
CAM 4 Settings:
STATIC IP: 192.168.1.204
Alternate HTTP Port: 1027 à Forwarded to 192.168.1.204

DMZ could probably fix the problem for a second camera, but not for all four CAMs
OS: XP SP2
Question 1: Any idea how can I get all the four cameras RTSP feed on my cell/BlackBerry?
Question 2: I am running out of Port Range forwards. Should I add more port forwards, I have only one more shot. Any workaround?
Each and every help idea is greatly appreciated!

I have six of these cams and used the tutorial and review at http://www.Myhomserver.com for help. First thing, set ALL the RTSP access codes the SAME, so all you need to do is increment the port for each cam
Cam 1 - 192.168.1.200 - set at port 80 TCP - RTSP port default at 554, forward port 5000 UDP/TCP and the RTSP access code 12345
Cam 2 - 192.168.1.201 - set at port 1024 TCP - RTSP port at 1029, forward port 5001 UDP/TCP and the RTSP access code 12345
Cam 3 - 192.168.1.202 - set at port 1025 TCP - RTSP port at 1030, forward port 5002 UDP/TCP and the RTSP access code 12345
Cam 4 - 192.168.1.203 - set at port 1026 TCP - RTSP port at 1031, forward port 5003 UDP/TCP and the RTSP access code 12345
Cam 5 - 192.168.1.204 - set at port 1027 TCP - RTSP port at 1032, forward port 5004 UDP/TCP and the RTSP access code 12345
Cam 6 - 192.168.1.205 - set at port 1028 TCP - RTSP port at 1033, forward port 5005 UDP/TCP and the RTSP access code 12345
This worked for me using the above settings....take your time, plan out the ports, all RTSP ports must be different on each cam
Accessing CAMS can be done via your cell phone below:
Camera 1---> RTSP://<your TZO camera domain>:554/12345
Camera 2---> RTSP://<your TZO camera domain>:1029/12345
Camera 3---> RTSP://<your TZO camera domain>:1030/12345
Camera 4---> RTSP://<your TZO camera domain>:1031/12345
Camera 5---> RTSP://<your TZO camera domain>:1032/12345
Camera 6---> RTSP://<your TZO camera domain>:1033/12345

WRT54G v6 Port Forwarding Fails

Replaced a dead WRT54G v1.1 witrh a much newer unused v6, and it works fine, except the same settings for port forwarding, for smtp, port 2525, for pop3, port 995, to my mailserver at static address 192.168.1.104, do not seem to work.
That is, no mail. Outlook says it can see the mailserver, but no response.
A lot of new settings on the v6, not sure what they all are. Like Port Triggering for a forwarded range. ???
Are there some other settings that need changing, too? Help!

The only change you need to do is the static IP Address...It should be 192.168.1.20(it should be out of the range of the router's DHCP)...
