god damn mother f***ing port forwarding HELP ME!

[choad]

i have never been this angry at a heap of plastic and metal in my life.

why does god hate me?

i really dont know what to say, i have done *everything* and it wont work. you name anything i am supposed to do to set up port forwarding, and i bet i have already done it. ok i am not really helping myself here....

static ip, virtual server, latest firmware check check and check

yet no banana. please please please tell me where i am going wrong. i dont really know what to tell you to enable you to help me.

i have no software firewall (well i do but i disabled it)

the hardware firewall is off

operation mode is "home gateway"

i mean is someone could save their settings to a file and send it to me, then that might work.

ok i apologise for this extremely fragmented and angry post. but i am very pi**ed off with this thing.

i will love/hug/pay small ammounts of money to anyone who actually solves this for me.

LAN/WAN Filters turned off? ;)

But you might start with telling us what you are trying to do/achieve. What software you want to be ports forwarded to? Maybe you are searching for the error on the wrong place.

First:
- Reset to defaults.

Then use the wixard to configure 'Home gateway'

Then disable:
- Everything under 'NAT setting'
- WAN & LAN filter
- MAC filter
- Firewall can be disabled too, but this really shouldn't be nessesary

Use Shields Up to scan your default server ports (0 to 1024). And pay attention to ope/closed/stealthed ports.

Use Vitual Server settings to forward a port to a server in your network.

Use Shields Up again to scan your default server ports, you should see a difference in the ports that are open/closed/stealthed.

If you see the appropriate port open/closed then on the Asus side everything is OK.

i know what you feel, i was trying to accomplish the samething
and it worked. here is what i did:

set the correct port forwarding rules in your virtual server menu like:

From port: 80
To host: <local web server>
To port: 80
Description: HTTP Server

and then i finally found an iptables command that would complete this god damn thing:

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o br0 -j MASQUERADE

type it, or you can run in on boot:
nvram set rc_firewall="iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o br0 -j MASQUERADE"
nvram commit
reboot

Hope it works for you also :P

Hi - no luck here... must do something wrong!?

Tried to follow the guide posted above, but the transmission port is still stealthed.

Anyone have a example of the post-firewall file ?
