[uPnP] Problem with uPnP, adding forward: router stops forwarding

[TRaNe]

Hi,

I've been using the D-Link 614+ router until last weekend. Bought my self a WL-500g, configured(enabled UPNP) it and replaced the D-Link. Now i'm not able to do a audio conversation through MSN Messenger any more... Does this mean that the Asus isn't completly UPNP compatible?

best regards

Hi all

I was trying to set up at webserver at a local PC, and I wanted to make it available on the internet.

I then used the uPnP functionality in order not to have to reboot the router, to open the port 80 (under control panel -> network connections there is a link to the gateway, here it is possible to set up the same as in the virtual server page on the routers homepage). This resulted in that I could not access the internet at all!

Of course I tried to open the port directly on the router, and here it worked fine!

This leads me to believe that there is a bug in the uPnP implementation on the router. Looking at the port forwarding page under status an log showed me this:

129.112.214.229 tcp 80 192.168.1.2
anywhere tcp 81 192.168.1.2:81

The first line is port 80 forwarding set up on the router, whereas the second line shows the forwarding of port 81 from the uPnP interface (note, I changed the IP address for security reasons).

Should they not look the same?

I hope somebody can shed some light on this.

BR,
René

Wow! What a good news! But I am afraid it won't be better than current Oleg's customized FW... We will see... I am waiting for the Client mode support in web configurator and for newer OV511 webcam driver...

and so on..

[Antiloop]

find firmware 1.7.5.7 beta below to download.

http://files.wl500g.info/asus/wl500g...7.5.7-beta.zip

TRY THIS ONLY AT YOUR RISK.

i don't know if uPnP behaves always like this,
see attached.. routers stays alive

i've choosen port 81 because when i fill in port 80 i can't access internet pages anymore (i get my printer page instead)

Hi,

I've enabled upnp on my router so when I started a piece of software on one of my pc's it automatically set a port-forwarding rule in my WL500g.

But now I want to remove this rule in my router. I've disabled Upnp but the rule is still in the "port forwarding" - list.

How do I remove this???

I use firmware 1.9.2.7.

Everything else works perfect!!!

[i-beast-a]

no one who can help???

[WlanMan]

Hi

I dont use upnp so i habe none of this leftover rules, but i read asus now saves upnp into nvram for next boot. Possible that they dont remove this if you deactivate upnp from the Web (Oleg ? ).

I think, you can a: Reset to defaults and set it up again, b: use new 1.9.2.7-1 custom FW and delete the nvram parameters by hand.

I looked into my nv space.
do a

nvram show | grep vts_

on the telnet console, this should show you all saved routing rules, for me my self defindet, and hopefully also your upnp-addet ones. you can then carefully delete all entrys which have the number of the rule you want to remove, eg. all which ends with "X3" (use the number here you want).

Example:

vts_port_x0=49152
vts_protono_x0=
vts_desc_x0=Bittorrent
vts_proto_x0=BOTH
vts_ipaddr_x0=192.168.1.10

See nvram commands how to do this.

thanx for the reply!

starting all over from scratch was ofcourse also the option that I kept in mind

I will go over to the modified firmware because there is a real bug in this one.

My router completely resets after 10 minutes of web-radio.....
The rest of this firmware is fine.

@Wlanman:
I've switched over to the custom firmware without removing the settings. Also the Upnp port forwarding is still there.

But if I log in with telnet, I only see the rules that I've made myself!

The rules that are generated by upnp are not in this list

any advice?????????

[Styno]

Weird router behaviour after a firmware upgrade is mostly caused by improper upgrading.

You might want to try to 'reset to defaults' by pressing the button on the back for more then 10 seconds while the power is still applied to the router. After this reset you need to fill in the configuration again WITHOUT uploading an old configuration file. You need to do it through the webinterface by hand.

Most likely the router reset and uPnP problems will be over after you've done this.

Hi, I runnig wl500g behind a adsl modem (Netopia 3351) from my ISP. Both devices has UPnP enabled, and when I connect directly to my adsl modem I can start a video chat session. But when I plug in my wl500g I cant get it to work. I have tried to put my pc in dmz but with no luck. I run iptraf and can see that there is some hectic tcp activity with some MS servers, and at one point I could actually see some UDP pacets from my buddy to my pc. But today I can't even get that.

Any ideas? Need more info? All help appreciated!

PS: Running Oleg FW 1.9.2.8c CR3

[MrMagu]

Sounds like you have "double nating". Do you really need that? Set the Netopia router in bridge mode and let the ASUS handle the firewalling.

[barsju]

Ok, so how do I do that? My ISP is nextgentel and my adsl modem is Netopia 3351 (fw 8.3.3r1). I have found a setting in the adsl modem that says Put device in bridge mode. I guess that is what I should try. But after I do that nothing works, and I can't connect to the modem and have to reset it. So I guess I need to configure wl500g a bit too? What should the WAN setting be for the router? And how do I get the IP and routing info? I have dynamic IP.

As I share my connection with some neighbours I can't mess around with it to much, so hopefully I can get some answers here before I try again..
