Port forwarding problems...

[Tarka Dal]

I've opened up port 2077-2078 on my router my firewall and in the windows firewall. but to no avail can i get to the outside world on that port...What's up?

 

[brady]

Was your router set to block outgoing connections on 'any' port? It's generally allowing the incoming traffic to pass through those ports when opening them up...

Can i get a bit more info?

What application is attempting to use these ports?

 

[Tarka Dal]

Application is...

The application I am trying to setup is a direct connection to an internet site to upload my files to a secure HDD. I know the system works but just don't seem to be able to get it to work. It uses 2078 (SSL) 2077 (Normal).
Thanks Brady for helping out BTW!

 

[brady]

what kind of router?

 

[Tarka Dal]

Virgin Superhub...Newish out to us!

 

[brady]

Well the first thing I would do, is actually bypass the router to ensure that your ISP isn't blocking those ports by default.

Then once you have determined it's not a router/fw issue, follow this tutorial for fowarding or triggering the ip address: How do I enable port forwarding and port triggering on the Virgin Media Super Hub??

 

[Tarka Dal]

Done that!

 

[brady]

>.< hmmm... so the ISP is definatly NOT blocking the port traffic, right?

 

[Tarka Dal]

Why would they be...

 

[brady]

you would be suprised what ISPs block... Anyway, what antivirus are you running?

 

[Tarka Dal]

Kaspersky...Works fine. opened up the necessary ports

 

[brady]

so it works now?

 

[Tarka Dal]

so it works now?

No!
Anyway I cannot get to the internet without being coupled up to the router/Modem. It's an all in one!

 

[brady]

Did you disable stealth mode for all zones when you created the application with that port range?
OR... did you create the application rule in the 'Anti-Hacker'?

 

[Tarka Dal]

What the?
what do you mean?
Stealth....this is not a 60million dollar helicopter...
HAhA!

No!
Still don't know what you mean though?

 

[brady]

Those settings are required within Kaspersky to properly forward ports.. Edit: However, from your screen shot, it appears as though it's stuck at the Router portion of the firewall.

edit2: When you opened the ports on the Router, did you do the range? or did you do them port by port?

Those settings are required within Kaspersky to properly forward ports

Yes they have been set up properly!
Anyways I cannot get through with the firewall down either..

 

[brady]

Yeah your screenie showed it not open on the Router's Firewall, did you open them as a 'range'? or did you do per port?

 

[Tarka Dal]

Tried both!

 

[Tarka Dal]

I guess no answers here then...
Thanks Brady for tryiing...
