Setup: 2 in 1 router/modem in bridge mode (with firewall disabled) to a Netgear Nighthawk router (R6700v2)
I’ve tried with UPnP enabled
I’ve tried forwarding ports (UPnP disabled)
canyouseeme.org says connection refused no matter what port or set up I try
I’m starting to think its my ISP. Is there anyway I can confirm this?
why bridge mode? that means you’re relying on the ISP to assign your local IP addresses, doesn’t it? except you have an actual 2nd router which covers that function…
So it can act as a modem and make the Nighthawk do all the work. The modem the ISP provides is out dated.
Can you confirm the IP on can you see me is the IP on your nighthawk?
The IP is the same
Are you running stock firmware or some ddwrt?
Can you post shots of your port setup?
stock firmware
i expanded the port range trying to see if it fell back onto another port. WireShark was picking up traffic on ports 32412 and 32414
can you assign a single port (or 32400-32400) and make this TCP only? shouldn’t make a difference but it’s worth a shot. also… to rule out some stupid mishap, let’s assign some entirely different external port (e.g. 39123)
any firewalls on this remote desktop of yours which could interfere?
Firewall on the server (192.168.1.11) is completely disabled (for now)
do I interpret that correctly as “but it’s still not working”?
what happens if you misuse a more regular port such as 80 or 8080? (trying to rule out that your provider is blocking ports)
You need 32400-32400 on external and internal range.
do you? I’m using 32938 as my external port, linked to 32400 internally and it works like a charm
just disabled and enabled it 3 times, and on the 3rd time it decided to start working…
Seems like its something with the Plex application then.
Last screenshot are the current settings.
Appreciate the help!
i lied… it was just a hiccup. still not working…
Getting no luck with ports 80 or 8080
plex does have some timing issues so this is what I suggest.
Setup port 32400-32400 on external and internal, go to youcanyouseeme.org and verify it shows success.
Disable remote access in plex, restart plex and enable remote access after plex has been up for 3 minutes.
if you don’t get success on canyouseeme.org we need to get that working before you do the restart and wait.
no matter what port i try on canyouseeme.org i get “connection refused”
Try this…
Get a copy of MiniWeb and spin it up, I think it listens on 8080 or 8888 by default, and browse to http://192.168.1.11:xxxx where xxxx is the port it uses either 8888 or 8080.
After you get the default blue web page go to your nighthawk and forward that same port again either 8888 or 8080 whatever is its default.
Go to canyouseeme.org and test that port and see if you get success.
Once you can get that working we can get the plex port setup.
Still getting connection refused. It was port 8000 for me
Also, if it means anything, my ISP required the MAC address of my modem for it to work.
