Hi,

I have a D-link Dir 655 Hardware version A3, Firmware 1.21EU.

When I leave my router out of my circuit then I can run a server on my pc allowing people to connect to it. From the moment when I put it back into the circuit then all ports are blocked.

I tried port forwarding, virtual server, putting the specific computer into the DMZ,...

Nothing worked, the router is still blocking traffic into my server. Serv-u says trying to connect to a non-existing IP etc.

I have asked this around some forums and none + even not google could lead my to the answer.

Why the f*ck is this so hard... I want to buy a NAS but this is the same thing right if I even can't get my own server open why even bother to buy a NAS...

In my router the NAT options are for

UDP Endpoint Filtering: Address Restricted
TCP Endpoint Filtering: Port And Address Restricted

SPI is Enabled.

Man I really hope someone can point me out what Im doing wrong here before I'll catapult my 655 out of the window  Grin

Are you trying to connect to your external IP address?  (www.whatismyip.com)

You would want to use port forwarding to direct port 21 from the outside to the local internal server (192.168.0.***)

I use DynamicDNS to point a memorable name to my box, and if the IP ever changes, it still works.

I am using all kinds of ports from the outside

1) home automation website
2) Subversion
3) PBX Telephone
4) uTorrent

Port Forwarding works very well on this machine, and I've never had an issue.

The one thing that I could "possibly" see as an issue is that your ISP blocks the port, but that's unlikely.

Yes rockinthesixstring,

I'm 'trying' to connect to my external IP addres.

I've tried it all but I don't know how to do it. Should this be TCP or UDP?

Do I need to reboot my pc etc or not?

I know my ISP blocks ports under 1024 yes but when I'm hosting an FTP server on port 12345 let's say he still wont let me connect to it.

Though the server from the inside network works fine. It's just he keeps blocking all content from the outside.

Could this be due to Unpn?

So I've tried to forward the 12345 port to my 192.168.0.xxx adrs from the pc I'm hosting the server.

What firewall settings should I use or are the defaults one normally are fine?

I'm really hoping someone could help me with resolving this issue that's drivin' me crazy

Hi.

Try this site to test your FTP server from outside : http://www.g6ftpserver.com/en/ftptest

Simple put in your external IP and port and press "Test the FTP Server"

If no luck.. set your FTP server ports in the Virtual Server in your Router example:  Public port: 12345 and Private port: 12345.... make sure you have put port 12345 in your FTP server settings too.
