Need Help!! Port Forwarding/Listen Port Blocked/Yellow Light

BitComet BitComet General Discussion
1

Hey i am new to this forum and a bit new to port forwarding and all.

OS: Windows 7 ultimate

Modem Manufacturer: UTstarcom

Model Number: UT300R2U

Wirless Router Manufacturer: ASUS

Model Number: RTN13U (B1)

I am using the above modem and router for internet, connected with network cables. I have a problem, i tried everything (port forwarding, deactivating firewall, give static IP, deactivate upnp port mapping etc) to run Bitcomet smoothly. It took me very long time to understand all this.

Now after doing everything it still shows yellow light. Is their something more i need to check/do? Please help me, i have searched everything on internet to make it correct but still no solution. i have already tried http://portforward.com/ for help this website shows the new modem model (UT300R2U) and my router (RTN13U) is not even listed on it.

I am posting some of images for more details as attachments, let me know if more information is required, please solve my problem :(.

You have two routers here, so either both need to have portforward setup, or it looks like you attempted to bypass the router that’s built into your modem by using DMZ. I don’t know how these devices are wired together, but it looks to me that you’ve set your computers IP to be in DMZ on your modem, but if I understand your setup correctly, you would want the asus router’s IP to be in DMZ, so all packets pass through your modem and go direct to your asus router, then the asus router will allow only the port you specified to pass through to your PC.

The only way you can put your computer directly in DMZ on your modem is if it connected directly to it, but it looks like it doesn’t.

You want the DataOne router passing things on to the next link in the chain. The next link is your ASUS router. In other words,

You set the DataOne to forward to 192.168.10.4 where your computer is. You should have set it to 192.168.10.1 which is (probably) where your ASUS router is. You’re trying to “skip over” the Asus router, and of course, you can’t do that.

You can probably change the base address of one or the other. So to make things simpler, I suggest you do that. There are two reserved blocks for private LANS, one being at 192.168.xxx.xxx. The other is at 10.xxx.xxx.xxx

If you set, say, the DataOne’s base address to 10.0.0.1, then you could immediately understand your error – that the 192.168.1.4 address isn’t on the DataOne’s LAN. It would have to be a 10.xxx.xxx.xxx address. So you’d know immediately what the DMZ IP has to correspond to the Asus’ WAN address – something like 10.0.0.2

You don’t have to do this, I just think it would make things clearer for you.

Zone one is the internet side of things, where the addresses are from your ISP, and are in the 117.197.xxx.xxx block

Your DataOne router will have a 117 IP on its WAN side.

On the DataOne’s LAN side, though, the addresses will be in the 10.xxx.xxx.xxx block

This is zone 2

Your Asus router will have a 10.xxx.xxx.xxx IP on its WAN side.

On the Asus’s LAN side though, the addresses will be in the 192.168.xxx.xxx block

This is zone 3

This is where your computer is, at 192.168.10.4

Setting your Asus router in the DataOne’s DMZ is one way to go about this. Another way is to forward a port through the DataOne, just as you did through the Asus, but again using the ASUS WAN IP as your destination for your new forwarding rule.

thanks man let me try your solution and get back to you :slight_smile:

still yellow light :frowning: why only me? :frowning: :frowning: :frowning:

main line cable is going into Utstarcom modem and then from moden one wire is attached to ASUS router (ethernet wire) and then from ASUS a wire is connected to my PC. please please find some way, the solution didn.t work for me. :frowning:

Edited information: ASUS WAN connection type is by default set to Automatic IP (not static IP)

7

I suggest removing the asus router and see if you can get a port open. Once you confirm an open port, then you can add the router again and continue diagnosis. This will help identify where the problem is located, it could be in either router or your computer.

8

The Asus connection to the DataOne has to be a static connection. Otherwise its IP address in zone 2 will change constantly. If it happens to get the address where the port is open on the DataOne it will work. If it happens to get any other address, it won’t work.

You have the DataOne set to hold your chosen listen port, for the device connected at 10.0.0.2

It follows that the Asus had better be AT 10.0.0.2 for this to work. If the Asus gets assigned 10.0.0.4 by the DataOne’s DHCP server, then this won’t work.

i don’t know what to fill in static IP of ASUS router for WAN, eg: ip, subnet mask, default gateway, dns server 1,2. i don’t know what to fill in them to make it static. :frowning:

My previous post told you what the IP had to be, and why. You need to understand that.

The subnet mask sets up how wide a range of addresses you want the router to take care of. For most people, that’s a very few addresses, sometimes just one, but for convenience, we’ll limit it to 256 addresses – that is, we’ll make the first three quads of the IP address match the router’s base address, and the last quad can vary over its entire range. To do this, use a mask of 255.255.255.0

The DNS servers can either be real, or they can be references. If I put in my gateway’s address, that means to use whatever the gateway is using. DNS queries get passed up the line, so to speak.

The WAN side of your DataOne likely gets its DNS servers set automatically by your ISP. You can override this if you want to, but its easiest to just go with the flow. So for every step the DNS server (you only need one, leave the second empty) is the address of the gateway it’s connected to. For the Asus it would be the DataOne’s LAN address – 10.0.0.1

Why omit a second address? Well, the only reason you’d need it is if the first address isn’t working. The first address is also your gateway. If it’s not working for DNS it’s also not working for anything else, so you have no connection anyway. (This also applies to your computer’s network setup, btw.)
