Port Forwarding

Hi all

I am trying to configure me router to allow certain activities, like SSH, VNC and Shareaza. But it isnt working :(

What am I doing wrong?

Its a U.S. Robotics® Wireless Turbo Access Point & Router.

Its set up as DHCP, NAT...dunno what else you need to know...!

Options are: Source = LAN, WAN or * / Destination = LAN, WAN or * / Protocols = TCP, UDP, ICMP or * / Port Range

Thanks

Perhaps the instructions at the PortForward site can help.

Thanks, looks good, will check it out now!

That did the trick!

Thanks!!

Seems this thread is now reopened.

I have added a few port forwards, exactly like the ones that work. But they dont???

I.E FTP and GTK Gnutella work but VNC, SSH, Telnet dont.

Strange? I have added it all the same, to be safe I chose * where possible for protocols.

All these services work from the lappy when its IN the network. As soon as I try to access it from outside it dont work (apart from the 2 I mentioned).

Any clues?

Does your ISP (or anyone between you and your network) block or otherwise redirect those ports?

Nada.

I think I've figured it, though it still doesnt quite make sense.

On the US Robotics website, it states that to use PF you need static IP...fine. Thats what I have. Little further on, it states that the DHCP Server on the router has to be turned off...didnt know that bit. Mines still on.

So as soon as I get home I'mm turn it off and see what happens. But what still doesnt add up is that 2 PF's work...?

Will report back, hopefully with good news. I have also emailed USR's tech support to see what they say about it.

Regards

Hong
