Port Forward help :3

[Shadow121]

Right i have a DSL Modem which i'm trying to forwar dport 80 to the Linksys router, then have the router route it to my computer so i can work with my no-ip domain D:

i got to m,y router ip and try to forward port 80 to 192.168.254.0 which is my router ip but it says: NAPT server IP address is not a valid host LAN address.

So yeah D: and when i try to input 192.168.1.100 it gives the same darn thing.

Any suggestions?

Try forwarding port 80 directly to your PC, instead of forwarding it to your router first.

Still doesn't work takes me to the dsl modem

I'm a little confused. Are you saying that you're trying to set up a server?

What are the models of your router and modem? And what is your internal IP address?

 

[Shadow121]

Internal Modem IP: 192.168.254.1
Internal Router IP: 192.168.1.100
Router Type: Linksys NR041;
Modem: Speedstream 4200 Series;

That?

 

[TechAsh]

It may help if you set both your modem and router to be on the same subnet. ie. either both on 192.168.254.* or both on 192.168.1.*

I don't know how much difference this will make but it may help.

Internal Router IP from DSL Modem: 192.168.254.0 but as i said above it gives me an error.

 

[leafypiggy]

if you have your hardware set up like i do. you should be forwarding from your modem to your router, to your PC. but I dont really understand what you are saying.

 

[Shadow121]

Right? cause i want HTTP and my router IP is 192.168.254.0.

Outcome:

 

[woiwky]

By internal IP, I meant your computer's internal IP. You should be forwarding port 80 from your modem to your computer's internal IP, not your router's IP.

Also, you do realize that you can't connect to your server through your no-ip domain from any computer in your network(including yours), right?

 

[Shadow121]

No-IP diverts the domain to my external ip which comes in through the DSL Modem. As said above i should redirect from the dsl modem to the router then from the router to my computer.

As said before i should redirect from the modem to the router then from the router to my computer and thats what i have tried to do.

 

[woiwky]

If you should forward from your modem to you router, you wouldn't be getting an error

Try forwarding from your modem to your computer. If it's working properly, when you go to your no-ip domain, it should take you to your modem's config page.

 

[Shadow121]

i don't want it to redirect to my modems config page. i want it to redirect it to my computers localhost provided by XAMPP. I've also TRIED to forward from modem to router to computer but it failed as posted on the previous page with screen shots.

 

[woiwky]

For *you*(and any other computer in your network) it redirects to your modem's config page. For people outside of your network, it should redirect them to your server. Remember that a no-ip domain just resolves to your external IP. If you go to your external IP, it displays your modem's config page, right? If you want to access your server from within your network, you have to use your computer's internal IP or localhost for your computer.

Forward from your modem to your computer and get someone from outside your network to check if it's working.

 

[Shadow121]

I've asked someone to go to the no-ip domain and it tells them they have to login which is clearly the DSL Modem configuration page though. >.>'

 

[woiwky]

That doesn't make sense. If they're outside of your network, they shouldn't see that at all. You're absolutely sure you're forwarding port 80 from your modem to your computer's internal IP?

If you don't mind, post your no-ip domain here or PM it to me. I'd just like to see for myself.

I agree with woiwky. Make sure you are coerrectly forwarding port 80 to your computers local IP address. If your router supports Port triggering make sure this is OFF for port 80 (iv had trouble because of that before).

OK. Shut off the firewall and the Attack Detection features of your modem, then go back into the Port Forward Page. Make sure you select the HTTP protocol, and forward the ports 80-80 to your computer. Then, use a proxy to see if the same thing happens (if your site comes up). If it doesn't, check to make sure UPnP is off on your modem and try it again. If that doesn't work and comes up with a login screen, make sure Remote Administration is off. If that doesn't work, try a port other than port 80, and then use a no-ip Port 80 Redirect since some ISPs block Port 80 incoming (though if someone can see your modem, this is probably not the case). If that doesn't work, then I'll have to look into it. I know the SpeedStreams pretty well, so I can help you.

On the other hand, if what I mentioned above worked, turn back on the firewall, then the attack detection and see if the web site still works. If it doesn't, then try Attack Detection on first, then the Firewall. If that doesn't work, then don't worry about it too much. Just as long as you have a software firewall, you'll be good (and about the software firewall, make sure it is allowing you to run a web server and not stealthing the incoming port 80).
