Port Forwarding

[opsmonkey]

I had a few messages since joining regarding Port Forwarding.. so below find a helpful (maybe) aide memoire..

To 'port forward' you first need to log into your router.. most routers this can be done by opening your browser and typing in 192.168.2.1 or 192.168.1.1

If this is sucsessful you should get a username and password prompt.. the UN & PW can normally be found on a sticker underneath the router...

Once logged in port forwarding can be found under the Advanced option..
Now i can only go by how to do it on my router which is a Netgear..

Select port forwarding over port triggering.. then you need to add a service.. On mine i chose AIM then under the IP address i entered the IP of my Dreambox which you should know or can find out when using the DCC..

Then i just chose what port (number) i wanted open which like most people is 12000

Save all then log out of router..

Simple


Please feel free to add any info anyone as ive got a basic but working knowledge..!

Thanks mate just what i needed to know

[thered]

right here we go

my router is tp link tl-wr841n

to start i type in my browser the ip of router


it goes to menu in the menu i select forwarding

it opens a sub menu

1 virtual server
2 port triggering
3 dmz
4 upnp



i select virtual server i then choose 12000 as my service port
protocol i keep all ticked
the status is enabled

i then have an option for common service port do i leave it or select one of the following from the sub menu

dns,http,ftp,gopher,nntp,pop3smtb,sock and telnet

i save without selecting any


where am i going wrong?

what ip address have you put in..?

192.168.1......?

what options do you have under the protocol drop down menu..?

[thered]

i have had a play about it may now work thing is i dont know how to check

in answer to your question i put in 192.168.1.1. this brings up the router settings

in the protocol i choose all

the other options are tcp or udp

[opsmonkey]

no what ip address have you put in the router settings..?
if you have put in 192.168.1.1 in the router settings this is wrong.. you need to put the ip address of your DB in the router settings as this is the equipment you want the router to open the port for..

i.e. my settings would look like this:

Service Port: 12000
IP Address: **********
Protocol: ALL
Status: Enabled

sorry i misunderstood i put my dreambox ip in the router settings

mine are the same apart from my dreambox ip is 192.168.1.100

how can i test or can you test for me

[opsmonkey]

no im still showing you as Offline..

however i can now see your using CCcam 2.10 and your node id..

Is your DB plugged in and on at least standby..?

[thered]

funnily enough my box had crashed i didnt realise as im upstairs on pc just in the process of rebooting box so it may well work in a minute or two








right its all systems go what are you getting and how do i know if other peoples stuff is working

[opsmonkey]

yep mate.. your up.. i can see you now.. your in the green..!

if your box keeps crashing change to CCcam 2.0.9
CCcam 2.10 has been crashing some boxes

[thered]

sorted m8 i think it may have crashed cos i have been doing a lot of pissing about upstairs and also recording im a celebrity for the missus(so i think thats gone tits up)


anyways i dunno if you caught the last edit you can see me up and running right how do i see you or anyone i share with

thanks for all your help m8 youve been a godsend and your a scouse

[opsmonkey]

you need CCcam Control Centre and DCC (dreambox control centre)


PM me your email & i'll mail you them

[Curious123]

@thered I can see you are green on mine as well. I also found CCcam 2.0.10 troublesome and reverted back CCcam 2.0.9. I use the s/w below for monitoring my shares.

Better programme.. thanks m8

[thered]
