| 872573 | 2010-04-04 01:07:00 | I now have a ThomsonTG585v7 router. One of those ones that Telecom give us when we sign up. I want to unblock port 80, but I cannot, with this router. And, I've used portforwarding.com, to the letter. Is there someone who has had experience with this? That could help me (or even tell me, once and for all, that I'm wasting my time). I've shifted and the DSE XH1169, that worked fine at the other place (and which I port forwarded with - easy), doesn't work here. The ADSL light won't stop blinking and diagnostics indicate ADSL is faulty. Even going back to default and starting again, doesn't help. Thanks |

| 872575 | 2010-04-04 02:10:00 | Thanks Trev, That's about the same as the instructions on "portforward.com". Still no luck. I'm just wondering whether I have to get assigned a static IP from Telecom (which has to be paid for and I won't do that), rather than the instructions from the above site, which sets an internal ip for the incoming connection to use i.e. 192.168.1.7, and assign dns's (which I do from "opendns"). The other thing could be perhaps, to set up DDNS. I wonder if that would work? |

| 872576 | 2010-04-04 03:56:00 | Could be a problem else where seeming that your DSE XH1169 dose not work. Perhaps someone else can help. A bit out of my realm I'm afraid. :) |

| 872577 | 2010-04-04 06:52:00 | I want to unblock port 80, but I cannot, with this routerIs the port actually blocked in the router or elsewhere. If its in the router, is it simply grayed out or not showing or what is saying its blocked ?? Port 80 is the official port for the internet, http - Can be used for access to/from a server for example. So if you have a hosting / Web server and want to aim it at the internet, you would redirect port 80 to that servers IP address (normally static IP) If you have a ftp server, usually they use port 21 Some ISP's block port 80. You can try running canyouseeme (http://www.canyouseeme.org/) - it will tell you what the default ports are and IF you can get through, if not your ISP my be blocking port 80. An Example (www.imagef1.net.nz) - I'm on Telstra cable, and they are not blocking port 80. |

| 872578 | 2010-04-04 08:21:00 | Don't worry about DNS or static IP's or DDNS yet, it is irrelevant until you get your port forward working. Do one thing at a time. Follow Trev's guide to forward port 80 to your servers LOCAL ip. Test by trying to connect to http://YOUR.EXTERNAL.IP.ADDRESS from a machine that IS NOT ON YOUR LOCAL LAN. Check that the Thompson does not have it's control panel on external port 80. Check that your local web server's firewall is not blocking inbound traffic. |

| 872579 | 2010-04-05 00:35:00 | Interesting, when I check port 80 with "portforward.com"'s port checker, I receive an open message, but that is directed to the internal ip (192.168.....). When I check using the link you gave me I get this "Error: I could not see your service on 222.154........... on port (80) Reason: Connection timed out" So, something has worked, and this is what I get from grc.com; "80 HTTP Stealth There is NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER that a port (or even any computer) exists at this IP address!" Sounds promising for the rest of the project, thanks for your help so far. |

| 872580 | 2010-04-05 06:53:00 | So... you DO have a webserver running on the target machine on your LAN? You ARE checking it by using a machine outside your LAN? What are you trying to achieve exactly, by "unblocking port 80"? |
fred_fish (15241) | ||
| 872581 | 2010-04-05 08:27:00 | Use it for some of the remote facilities on my Synology 108j server i.e. photo station, web station etc. Which uses port 80. I tried it from outside my LAN, didn't work:groan: |

| 872582 | 2010-04-05 09:11:00 | OK, so you are wanting to access it from the internet? Or just from your LAN? |
