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....

  • 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 utorrent port forwarding (HELP PLEASE)

    Hey everyone, I bought my WRT54GS router yesterday and cant forward utorrent ports. I have a static IP set up and am trying to use port 32069. I am sure all of my settings are correct in the port forwarding section, nad have tried checking/unchecking "enable". I think i've tried everything so far and it still wont work. If anyone can help me with this, it'd be greatly appriciated.

    if the ports are not getting forwarded , try upgrading / reflashing the router's firmware ..

  • 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)...

  • Linksys WRT54G, iChat & port forwarding...

    I changed a lot of the port forwarding settings on my router so that iChat AV would work nicely. Problem is, these commands took up all of the room in the list, and I'm hoping to play around with these settings a little more to get some extra juice out of some online gaming... Can I condense the iChat port forwarding commands into one command, opening all those ports for both instead of just TCP or UDP? Say, from 5060 to 5678, all open for 'both'?
    Thanks for your help, in advance. I realise the better solution would be to buy a router that doesn't make me want to throw it out of a window...

    Hi rodstrout,
    If you do not use Bonjour as you do not have another Mac take out 5297, 5298 and 5353 for the TCP AND UDP settings they have (save four lines)
    If not using Jabber delete 5220, 5222 and 5223 on the TCP setting (or change this to 5220-5223 as it is only 4 ports)
    Setting UPnP if you have it does change it to a Once only ON/Off setting without any typing of ports.
    If you do not have this look for Port Triggering (Special Applications) as this can open the ports in less lines.
    Depending how the ports can be listed the main iChat AV ports can be done in one or two lines.
    On some it can be:
    Trigger port 5678 on UDP to open 5060,5678,16384-16403 (no spaces) on UDP
    ON others it is two lines
    trigger 5678 on UDP to trigger 5060 on UDP
    Trigger 5060 on UDP to trigger 16384-16403 on UDP
    In both cases the Login port of 5190 needs to be a TCP trigger to Both protocols (UDP and TCP) but still on port 5190.
    The Jabber and Bonjour ports are also added as single ports.

  • WRT54G V5 Port Forwarding Configuration Loss

    Hi All...
    Having a strange issue with my router item listed above. I go into the router and forward a list of about 12 ports for online gaming (in order to improve my NAT to "open"). Everything works fine for about ten minutes and then my NAT goes from Open to Moderate, which presents a whole slew of issues (bans you from certain servers, inhibits the use of voice with certain users on xbox 360 etc etc). A moderate NAT is bad for 360.
    So... I go into my router to check that the settings are there and they indeed are and using a diagnostic tool shows the ports are no longer open. So... apparently the linksys box has altered the configuration somehow that is not present in the GUI. If I save the settings again it does not reopen the ports so I am forced to restore the configuration file I created just after making the port forwards for the first time.
    So... The box reboots and the ports open back up... until about ten minutes pass and the ports close down once again. So in a nutshell, the configuration of my router is changing on its own and I don't know how to stop it. (Its alive!!!! hahha).
    Does anyone out there have any experience with this or the technical knowledge to assist? Linksys tech support and xbox tech support has been..... well.... not so helpful.
    Thank you for your time (sorry for the long post!)
    Brad G.

    well.....change the MTU settings to 1365 and enable DMZ instead of port forwarding.....ensure that the x-box has a static ip add and dns address....
    also, check the firmware on the router...if it is below v 1.01.1 , upgrade the firmware on the router...reset the router and reconfigure then

  • WRT54GC How to make more port range forwarding fields?

    Hello I only have 15 port forwarding fields to enter all my programs and it is not enough since I have two pcs accessing the router getting two different ips for each one. Each aplicattion needs two forwards one for 192.168.1.100 the other for 192.168.1.101. How can I add more fields? thanks a lot

    hi , this is a product limitation that you cannot add more than 15 entries.....what you can try though , is to "trigger" the ports instead of forwarding them....triggering does not require you to specify an IP address....the port will open for whichever PC makes the request from within the network...

  • Not enough port fields in port forwarding for Linksys E4200

    I have always used netgear routers in the past. After a series of issues regarding configurations not working correctly I invested in what appeared to be a semi pro router, the cisco linksys e4200.
    I have a centralized server which I use to access a mass of different services such as mail, dns, VPN, FTP, Kerberos, http and many more. While I am not a massive networking nerd, this server setup is like my garage project. To access these services externally to my LAN as far as I understand I would need to configure port forwarding for each service to my server. Unfortunately the control panel for the linksys E4200 only offers about 15 custom port fields for forwarding, and some documentation I have read shows that with it's basic install my server could be using up to 60 ports at once.
    Is this router just not suitable for this sort of network. If so I will be very disappointed because I have spent a quarter of the price on netgear routers with more control than this.
    If anybody could assist with details and options I would greatly appreciate it

    Wrong forum, use "small business routers".

  • 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.

  • 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. 

  • 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.

  • 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:

    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.

    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
