port forwading problem
hi,
in a try to run webserver, i want to port forward on 80 in my router.
i refered tp portforward.com,there they said me to give the local ip ,transpot type and port no on Add Reserved Mapping for my model.
but when i access the router through web interface,it asks me these below things in Add Reserved Mapping.
IP Addresses Transport External Range Internal Range
Internal Type Start Port End Port Start Port End Port
if i give anything in internal and external port range it is taken as 0.
thanks for any response
regards,
tom.

what router are you using?
i had an old belkin that only let me run a webserver through a virtual server... you said what port to open and what IP to route it to... worked great.
every router is in essence the same piece of equipment doing the same thing with different features and different menus...
alittle more info on the equipment you are going through and we can help you better
:)

The router may not be the only issue to hurdle. If you have a DSL modem that is not operating in bridge mode, then you'll have to do double port forwarding (sometimes does not work/ins't supported on the DSL modem).

hi,
i dont know what i did earlier in my router ,but my ISP replaced it with a new one today
As of now,
the router model is Billion BiPAC 5200s
os:zod(fc6)
My aim is to run a webserver using free dyndns service.Also,i have plans to run ftp and all other possible(to grewup my knowledge).
i think i have to forward my port for these things in the router.Also my ip is dynamic , and i use ddclient to update the ipaddress in dyndns server.
Am i right?
1)to forward ports in NAT section of router
2)The router contains a DDNS section,i have fillup the details there?
Also , i am just a kid in the case of security.I am eager to seek ur advice on it.
Since this server is also my private home network server i ran ftp , squid etc in it .So i think more concentration must be sent on the issue.
regards,
Tom.

It should've be that difficult. I've done a dozens of dyndns webservers in the last couple of years (usually for camera systems). The cable/dsl modem never presented an issue. Where I live and work, the customer generally provides the LAN router, which connects to the ISP's modem and out to the WAN. I think that's changing with ISP's moving into the home networking biz, and maybe that's your case. I'm not clear on that from your post, but anyway....
The trick was programming the router to port forward 80, and perhaps 81, to the webserver's LAN ip address. It might take some trial and error to get it going. I know when I started doing these setups, it got confusing sometimes. A caveat here about routers and ddns: most do a lousy job providing dyndns service. Linksys, Netgear, D-Link, I've had problems with them all as ddns clients. Your best bet is exactly what you're doing; run a client on the server itself. I've been using DynDNS-Updater for several years now and like it. Try www.dyndns.org for a full list of clients.

hi,
like u said , i am running ddclient to update ddns in my local system.it do its job well .Also for time being , i have disabled firewall on both system and router.In router i have forwarded the ports 80,443
when i try from wan, it fetches connection timed out error.
http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/aboutyou.ch says me as
Your IP Version: IPv4
Your IP: 121.247.214.200 (port 39257)
Your ASN: 0 [IANA-RSVD-0]. ASN Registrar: ARIN
Your country: India
Your User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061018 BonEcho/2.0
Your Browser: uses Gecko Engine [date=20061018]
Your Operating System:
(from TCP/IP headers) Unix
Your Operating System:
(from browser string) X Window System, Linux
The tcp header portion in detail
TCP Header:
Source Port: 39257
Destination Port: 80
TCP Sequence Number: 0xb7efd952 (-1209018030)
TCP Acknowledgement Number: 0x00000000 (0)
TCP Header Length: 40
TCP Flags: 0x02 [SYN]
TCP Window Size: 5808

TCP Urgent Pointer: 0x0000
TCP Options: 020405840402080a01551e1c0000000001030306
so i think the source port no is 39257 (might be my stupid isp's work)
My apache is looking on port 80.how to get rid off this?
Also,if somebody in wan tries my website,how can the request be handled to the specific port in my sytem?
quite confused in the port as source have different no and destination have another no

Port 80 is going to be standard for any webserver like Apache or IIS. Why are you trying to change that? Are you sure Apache is up and running on the server?
How's things look from within the LAN when you try the server's ip address from a browser on another unit on the LAN? And I don't think you need to disable the firewall in the router. The whole idea of port forwarding is to open one particular port (or two in this case) and point them to the LAN ip address of your webserver.

Login to your SOHO router (not the DSL/Cable modem)
Look at the status section and look for WAN IP address.
Does it have this address?
Your IP: 121.247.214.200
If not, what does it say?
If it has an address such as 192.168.254.254, then your ISP did not give you a bridge mode device. THIS is the first hurdle you need to cross. Forget about everything else until you solve this issue.

hi,
as per my new router, its local lan ip is 192.168.1.254,my server ip is 192.168.1.11.The status page shows the information as below

4 443 443 192.168.1.11
i think it is in the bridge mode as u said.but wan ip says N/A as u see above.
is it due to the reason that ip is dynamic?
thanx and regards,

"IP Address : N/A
Subnet Mask : N/A
Default Gateway : N/A
DNS Server : N/A"
Something's not right there...you should be showing a series of ip addresses. Did you call helpdesk?
-
The N/A values in your WAN IP field is the source of your problem. Being able to hit the server from you LAN is expected because you're not routing out through the WAN interface.
Now, stupid question time. Have you power cycled your router to see if the N/A values populate out with a public IP, gateway and DNS server? If not, I would look at the interface settings for your WAN interface and I'd also ask your ISP if anything special is needed in your SOHO router config.
