Re: Can't open ports on my router
firepong -
The following is from the BEFSR41 V4 User's Guide:
To access the Web-based Utility of the Router, launch Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, and enter the
Router’s default IP address, 192.168.1.1, in the Address field. Press the Enter key.
A screen will appear asking you for your User name and Password. Enter admin in the User Name and Password
fields. Then click the OK button.
The Basic Setup screen is the first screen you see when you access the Web-based Utility. The Internet Setup section configures the Router for your Internet connection type. This information can be obtained from your ISP.
Internet Connection Type
The Router supports seven connection types: Obtain an IP automatically, Static IP, PPPoE, RAS, PPTP, HBS, and
L2TP. Each Basic Setup screen and available features will differ depending on what kind of connection type you
select.
Static IP
If you are required to use a permanent IP address, then select "Static IP".
IP Address: This is the IP address that the Router has, when seen from the Internet. Your ISP will provide you
with the IP Address you need to specify here.
Subnet Mask: This is the Router’s Subnet Mask, as seen by external users on the Internet (including your
ISP). Your ISP will provide you with the Subnet Mask.
Default Gateway: Your ISP will provide you with the Default Gateway Address.
Static DNS 1-3: Your ISP will provide you with at least one DNS (Domain Name System) Server IP Address.

Ok, for me I know that you have to have the static ip which I have already got. BUT, on my linksys router, where is the WAN interface. Can someone show me how to set it up.
Also, if yall need any other info, my linksys router type is a befsr41 v4. Or, if you would rather me use my Netgear WGR614 v6, then ill switch to it. |

Thanks for that info, Spinnaker. I like how the DW7000 does it. It may not be as simple for the average user, but you have more flexibility having it act as a NAT router, and a standard gateway for the static IP. I assumed it did it the same as the DW6000, which handed it out with DHCP.

Sorry, my mistake. You didn't make it totally clear that i needed the service. Kind of made it sound like there was a work around for forwarding ports. Thanks for you help. I'll look into all of that. |

I think your getting confused between the static ip setting on the router, and the static IP SERVICE from HughesNet. You can't forward any ports at ALL with hughes unless you pay for the Static IP SERVICE from HughesNet. You HN7000S has to have the Static IP for any of this to work, not just the router. |

On DW7000/HN7000S systems, you have to manually assign the Static IP to the router's WAN interface --.»Satellite Forum FAQ »I have a DW7x00 account with a static IP. How do I use it? .

Yes, I've said that in each post. You can't do any of this without static IP. You're going to want to change the "Internet Connection" portion of the router to DHCP, though, when you get the Static IP. Then, I'd recommend you set it static after you check what address it gets and the info from the modem. Not necessary, but might save you some trouble down the road.
192.168.0.201 is the address you'll want to forward the ports to.
Most important thing: Static IP service from HughesNet.

Well if these are my router settings:
Internet Connection Type:
Static IP
ip address
192.168.0.2
subnet
255.255.255.0
default gateway
192.168.0.1
dns
xx.xx.xx.xx
xx.xx.xx.xx
And my static IP that i assigned on my computers connection is as follows:
ip address
192.168.1.201
subnet
255.255.255.0
gateway
192.168.1.150 --router
dns
xx.xx.xx.xx
Then i want to forward my ports to 192.168.1.201? If i do that they still appear closed... Do i need that static IP service from Hughes? |

With the static IP, you just need to make sure it's in router mode. The WAN interface should get the IP from the modem, and you can forward ports to any computer on the router's internal network. You can even use 192.168.0.x if you choose, seeing as it won't conflict with the modem's address after the change. No worries if it does, my modem has at least 2 addresses I can use to access it. I use 172.16.1.x just out of preference because I do a lot of network experimenting. Static would be best behind the router, or at least for any computer you plan to forward ports to. And make sure the static IPs you assign are outside of the DHCP scope.

yes i already have all my computers configured to their own IP addresses with the DHCP server on my router DISABLED. Which router setup do you recommend i use? Automatic Configuration - DHCP? Or static IP? It seems as though I'm getting better browsing speeds (less latency) with the static IP setup, not sure how that works... |

Those numbers are both the default for LinkSys and HughesNet's network settings. You don't have to use that IP address. And yes, you will need the static IP plan. If you're going to use a router with that, you'd be best off setting each client to a static IP behind the router so you don't have to change the IP the port forwards to.

so i read around and it looks like i need to get the static IP option for hughesnet if i want to forward ports. The funny thing is, i called hughesnet and told them i was having trouble forwarding ports and this is what the woman told me:
Call Linksys (i told her that was my router make) and give them these numbers to help you get setup. (She didn't have any clue what the numbers were for, she was just reading them from a screen). The numbers are as follows:
ip address
192.168.0.2
subnet
255.255.255.0
default gateway
192.168.0.1
dns
xx.xx.xx.xx
xx.xx.xx.xx
At that point i took it upon myself to change my Automatic Configuration - DHCP setup in my router to a Static IP setup, and i filled in the blanks with those numbers that she gave me. My connection seems to be running strong now but i still cannot forward ports. Are those number she gave me for a static IP or what!? |

| I am having problems forwarding ports with my HN7000S and Linksys WRT54GS wireless router. I just switched from DSL to Hughesnet, and i am forwarding the ports the way i always had, but now when i run a port check to see if my forwarded ports are open, they are still closed. Does anyone know why? |
