Port forwarding problem with router

Menacer · Post by **Menacer** » Sun Aug 01, 2004 1:01 pm

Hi,

I have a nexland isb soho router and it was working fine until a problem came up and i had to flash the firmware and ever since i have done this when i open ports it doesnt seem to have any effect at all. I put 192.168.0.2 in the server lan address and it worked fine before but now it doesnt seem to work but i know this is the right ip to put in because when i use shields up site to check if the ports are working they say stealthed which is open and if i try any other ip and do the port scan it says they are closed so 192.168.0.2 is correct here is a image of it

could there be any reason why this isnt working maybe a setting or something?

Please help me ive spent literally a week trying to figure out whats wrong and got no where

Thanks in advance

I see you're trying to allow mIRC dcc. Have you checked the settings in your mIRC client (right port, disable file ignores, etc.)?

Well the big problem i have is with bittorrent because if you are unable to open ports 6881-6999 the downloads go at about 5kbs but once unlocked they go up to 60kbs+ and the reason i know that the firewall isnt opening the port is that there is like a status light on the bit torrent client and it should go green but its yellow meaning its not working with the router

So im unsure what to do

If you can hang for a few more days, I'll try to dust off my ISB SOHO and hook it up to my system, poke around a bit. It's been so long since I used it....can't just pull stuff right out of memory.

I remember the Nexlands often had some extra steps.

Any luck?

also one question when flashing the firmware is it possible to flash an older version if i have a newer one running on the soho

Nexland support sucks, i live in the UK and they wont offer me any support by email and keep just saying to ring their number even though its a US number which would cost me a bomb, looks like gonna have to get a new router.

No, sorry, forgot that it's out on loan at a temporary setup. Can't fiddle with it at home.

First a few links which may help

http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive ... zureus.cfm

http://www.portforward.com/cportsnotes/ ... reus22.htm

http://azureus.sourceforge.net/plugin.php (obviously).

Obviously make sure you have the latest JRE and client.

Being Java based leaves room for a degree of flakiness. It seems many people are having similar issues. You could in fact try another program all together.

*Edit

Make sure you have the right firmware for your router. I know that the 16n.bin was a beta. Use teh best one for your ISP:

I know Symantic offers only a 15 and 16 update on their site. It really sucks they bought Nexland.

Anyway the above linke should more than help.

You should be able to flash back to the old firmware. Are you using a static IP on the PC you are trying to port forward to? If not you may want to check it to make sure it hasn't changed on you.
