Title: Port still closed after creating a Virtual Server on DSL-2500U
Post by: szx on November 21, 2012, 06:52:07 AM

I set up a Virtual Server for port 55555 but I still cannot connect to it from the outside and nmap says it's closed (firmware version is 1.0.50). I've had this problem a while ago with an HTTP server as well. Why is it not working?

Is the port being used when you go to test to see if it's open? The port needs to be used and activity going through it to test to see if it's open or closed. Ports are closed by default until something accesses it.

Well, I'm running a script listening to the port through a TCP socket

szx,
please check your port with other software like uTorrent (http://www.utorrent.com/) (set port for incoming connections or webui).
Make sure that your PC firewall is configured properly.

uTorrent didn't work either

I'm not running a firewall unless Ubuntu has some sort of firewall installed by default (does it?)

So you can`t forward any port for any torrent client manual or by UPnP(should be enabled on the router+torrent_client)?

iptables, ufw

Router Virtual Server

Code: [Select]

Name: Any
For all ports: 55555
Protocol: TCP
Server IP("Private IP"):  ubuntu_ip

Ubuntu
Run script and check port

Code: [Select]

sudo netstat -ntlp | grep :55555
Btw, your external address is not private(gray)?
Your IP (http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/) and external Router IP should be the same.

Is your web interface looks like this?
