Title: remote management port 8080 doesnt work FW1.21
Post by: andywee on August 13, 2009, 01:27:09 AM
i had 1.12 -> 1.20 -> 1.21.
Does the Remote Management ever works?

all forwarded ports works fine. but as long as it's the port to Remote Admin Port , it'll just go "cannot display webpage"

I have tried port 12345, 23456,34567,45678, they all didnt work.

I tried port fowarding 12345 to 192.168.1.1 but it didnt allow me. is anyone's remote management port working?

You enabled remote admin without filters ?

Then try to reach your router from outside your network with: http://your_external_IP:8080/
No portforwarding needed !

what filters do you mean?

yeah i used the default 8080. http://external:8080 didnt work. but other ports like http://external:21 worked just fine.

i even tried the 8181 https also. it doesnt work.

I do know how to configure. had a 655 before and it's remote management works fine. so what gives? does yours work?

Another firewall running somewhere or SPI enabled in the router ?

Because I enabled remote I had to restart it now, otherwise it would run and run ...

ok, it's weird.
i cant access it http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8080 from within LAN

but when i use my 3G modem, it works just fine. odd.

and another funny thing was that i thought it was loopback issues. but i can ping my WAN ip from LAN. but cant access 8080 from LAN.

Maybe the DIR with newer firmwares has some issues with loopback on special ports.
As I have two internet connections I did not try all possible ports.
But it is only a minor problem, you don't need to use aour external address from inside the LAN.
Main thing is it works from outside.

I don't use remote admin in the DIR. I'm using a windows machine inside my LAN with a secure remote program to manage routers and NAS from outside.
