WRV210 port forwarding only works on http!!!

I'm trying to use SSH port forwarding, and VNC on the future.
Right now the only one that is working is http. I have enable both HTTP and SSH over two different PCs, and only the http one is working.
We already have version 2.0.0.11. Also tried DMZ the second PC and didn't work.
I hear about to use DHCP, and then I defined the second PC mac on the table, and still didn't worked.
Any idea of what is going on with this equipment.

If you enter the IP address on this page http://www.whatismyip.com/ip-tools/ip-whois-lookup/
you can see who it belongs to.
But I suspect that its something within your router that is returning the wrong WAN address. Do you have an ADSL connection, or an Infinity connection?
Yo may have difficulty connecting to your own external WAN address from within your own network, unless your router has NAT loopback enabled.

Port forwarding only works for BT customers..

Hi, I have a little bit of a strange issue and i'm hoping somebody could help.
What I have is various devices NAS/IPcam/VNC etc, previously I had ports forwarded to these devices and all was working ok, i could reach them via the WAN address.
What I have currently is that the WAN address my router tells me I have is a 100. address and sites such as whatismyip.com tell me the 81. address (im not sure if this is normal but I think it is?).
The problem I have is that port forwarding now only seems to work if i try and connect to my devices from BT connection using the 100. address. The 81. address is unreachable from BT or other ISP's and sites that check for open ports tell me the ports are closed. I have tried several routers as i initially thought it was an issue with my router but they all give the same problem.
Not sure if any more information would be required but from the testing ive done it doesnt seem like a issue with my router. Any ideas? CAn provide more info if needed, just ask.

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.

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
http://community.linksys.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/EA6500-NAT-Redirection-Bug/td-p/583820/highlight/fa...
look for poster sflick1's solution, it really works.

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 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.

RV042 Port forwarding stops working when Firewall is enabled

Hey all,
I have a RV042 router on a single WAN and an internal LAN. I have configured port forwarding as follows:
HTTP[TCP/80~80]->10.0.0.6
HTTPS[TCP/443~443]->10.0.0.6
IMAP[TCP/143~143]->10.0.0.5
IMAP SSL[TCP/993~993]->10.0.0.5
SMTP SSL[TCP/587~587]->10.0.0.5
Everything works just fine when I have the firewall DISABLED. However, when I enable it the behaviour is erratic. 1 out of 10 attempts to connect to ANY port forwarded works. Almost all attempts time out.
Notice that this happens even if using only the default firewall rules (which should be bypassed by the port forwarding as I read in other posts).
My second try was to create firewall rules manually, overriding the default ones. I tried adding rules from source WAN1 (where my connection is) to ANY and to SINGLE IP's on every port. Nothing seems to work.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong, this is really bugging me. I had to turn the firewall off so we can access our servers from outside the office. This shouldn't have to be done.
Do you know anything I could try?
Best regards,
Theo
EDIT:
Just found out that my firewall is getting LOTS and LOTS of Blocked - SYN Flood entries. I think this is why we are having trouble with the firewall. Could this be the problem? I have no idea where all these SYN packets are coming from since they appear with spoofed IPs or come from different bots all over.

Hi Theo, if you want to over ride the default state table, you need to first make firewall rules to block all access then make your permission rules.
Such an example would be-
Action Deny
Service All
Source interface WAN
Source IP any
Destination IP any
Save
Action Permit
Service RDP
Source interface WAN
Source IP -xx.xx.xx.xx
Destination IP - xx.xx.xx.xx
Save
As for your concern about the syn flood, it can be a likely cause of your problems. Does the logging facility of the router give any indications?

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 Stops Working WRT400N

Is anyone else having a problem with port forwarding on their WRT400N? I'm forwarding one service (https) and this stops working if it's not accessed after a 10 days or so. The only way to get it to work again is to reboot the router. I’m running the “latest" firmware, which is an oxymoron considering it's been over 12 MONTHS since Linksys updated the code... Which is appalling considering this appears to be their flagship wireless N router.

I tried the hard reset and still the same problem, port forwarding stops after a period of time. Sometimes 1 day, other times 10 days. I have 2 servers on the local network, each running Remote Desktop on port 3389. I have 2 ports forwarded to get to either server depending on the external port number. E.g.: The external port forward is {wan_ip_addr}:33389->{server 1}:3389 to get to server 1 and, {wan_ip_addr}:23389->{server 2}:3389 to get to server 2. Works great when it works, but then, without error, just the port forwarding stops, and all other router functions seem to continue working. Has anyone else come across this? Any fixes? Help!!!!
Thanks in advance to any help!!

Port Direction Definition? (and got port forward to work in medium security!)

I just received my replacement modem (327W to 7500) and I want to set it to medium security. I need to forward ports, like UDP 123 for time service (why is this not a predefined service?).
Anyway, I got it to work by making one new service with "host" and all three combinations of direction as rules. This is because I could not figure out the implications of Direction: In/Out or Port Directionrc/Dst.
I downloaded the manual BUT it does not define those choices; just sez select. It reminds me of the old IBM Fortran manuals where you could only find what you needed if you already knew the answer.
Anyway, I am sure I am not the only one with this question. Like I said, the good news is you CAN port forward in medium security, it just ain't pretty the way I did it.
Regards,
Dewey

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)
