Port forwarding question......
 

So I am trying to get a surveillance camera set up on a network behind a Linksys router.

The video server is set with a default of port 80.

In the router configuration utility, I have it set for the port range of 80 to 80 and then pointing to the IP of the video server.

From my understanding....All I need now is to type in the IP of the cable modem followed by the port number.

Example: 64.255.175.11:80

This is not working. WTF am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your assistance. :glugglug

I had same prob earlier forwarding port 2233 for vpn access

So....Did you solve the issue? If so, how?

Is your router listening to external IPs? It may only be configured to listen internally by default.

Can you ping out from your router?

here is a bump cause I am not gay

Edit...Yes, I can.

If your no was meant for my 'can you ping out from your router', that's probably your trouble.

Check your routes on the router....it must be able to reach the outside world, for the outside world to reach it

:thumbsup

nmap shows that that IP does have port 80 open...however when I goto it, I end up on GFY's index page...

That's because I listed GFY IP. I am not about to post the IP to my clients network.

Thats because he used GFY IPs as an 'example'.

Post a screenshot of the diagnostics page where you're trying to input that shit, please.

Ahhh....well externally I can't help you much without the real IP, but suggest doing the following:

run 'nmap' on the real IP. If it shows port 80 open, problem is perhaps your video server.

- try setting the port range * instead of 80 to 80 to see if works or not....

- try accessing it with internal IP if you can

If nmap shows port 80 closed, then your prob is on the router. Again try opening all ports, perhaps 80 to 80 isn't the right format for Linksys.

Are you sure its only using TCP? It might be using UDP as well.


Is there any mention about it using any other ports in the manual?

Why not leave it set to BOTH and not just TCP? Can't hurt..

I had it set to both first...then to TCP only. No mention of UDP at all.

Try opening a DMZ on that IP and see if it works then, if it does, its most likely because theres other ports in play other than 80 which you need to map as well.

DMZ...nmap...Does anybody speak English around here? I'm a photographer.....I take pictures....

:1orglaugh

Use Webopedia for your computer terminology. That should get you started.

I dont know what the Linksys setup is like, theyre pieces of shit, just look for DMZ under one of the settings tabs, and input the last octet of the IP (atleast thats how it is on SMC) and enable the DMZ, then try to connect.

hes not gonna give his real ip out :) its an example :)

i reemmber having a linksys. there is a section in the config for forwarding did you go in there and forward 80?

make sure your using a static i.p instead of dhcp i.p

checking dmz

Enable DMZ in Advanced Features of the web configuration screen. For example, if your computers IP address is 192.168.1.102, enter the last three digits, or 102, in the DMZ field.

Yeah...Found the problem.....


I had my Vonage MTA between the router and modem.
