Re: 2701hg-b- port forwarding will not work!! help
What is the specific Geovision software that you are running? A quick Google search brings up software that requires ports 80, 4550, 5550, and 6550 all to be open.
# 80 HTTP Port
For the Webserver
# 4550 Command Port
For the commands that are sent between the interface and the GeoVision system
# 5550 Data Port
For the Video Stream
# 6550 Audio Port
For the Audio Stream
Another tutorial mentions ports 80, 4550, and 5550. I couldn't find a tutorial that said simply forward port 3550. I have never used Geovision software so I'm not sure if there are other versions that require only a single port.
The 2wire port forwarding features are solid and proven, so more than likely this is a case of not having the correct configuration. Your description of the procedure you used to forward the ports sounds correct. The tools you are using to check if a port is open will only report it as open if it receives some sort of response. If they make a request to a port that does not have a server listening then the request will get dropped just as it would if it were firewalled, so they aren't the best way to troubleshoot a port forward.
The easies way to see if it is a matter of not having all of the correct ports forwarded is to configure the 2wire to place this computer into DMZPlus and then reboot the computer. Check it then.
Good luck.
