Thread: Unable to port forward on WA3002G4 router

Hi,
I have the WA3002G4 router from BSNL and wanted to port forward (port 59038) to speed up uTorrent client. This is what i have done

- Logged into the router and made a note of the DNS IP address (192.168.1.1 ->Device Info )

Primary DNS Server: 214.48.240.81
Secondary DNS Server: 214.48.240.90

- Changed the DHCP range in the router

Start IP Address: 192.168.1.2
End IP Address: 192.168.1.200
Subnet Mask: 192.168.1.0

- Have assigned a static IP to my laptop(Control Panel -> Network Connections -> Local Area Connection -> TCP/IP properties )

IP: 192.168.1.250
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Preferred DNS server: 214.48.240.81
Alternate DNS server: 214.48.240.90

- I then logged into the router again (192.168.1.1 -> Advanced Setup -> NAT)

- Here I created a new entry (as given in portforward.com website for this router model and for uTorrent Client)

Server Name : Utor1
External Port Start : 59038
External Port End : 59038
Protocol : TCP/UDP
Internal Port Start : 59038
Internal Port End : 59038
Server IP Address : 192.168.1.250

- I saved the changes and rebooted the router

Now when I click on the "Test if port is forwarded properly" in uTorrent Client (Options -> Speed Guide)

I got the following error


Welcome to the µTorrent Port Checker.
A test will be performed on your computer to check if the specified port is opened.

Checking port 59038 on 59.96.36.200...

Error! Port 59038 does not appear to be open.

Please see PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall[/url] for more information about how to map a port.

Please make absolutely sure that PeerGuardian2 or Protowall is allowing utorrent.com (72.20.34.145) in either of those programs. Those of you using ipfilter.dat should make sure the list does not include the website's IP. After making sure of this, re-run this test by refreshing the page (F5).

I am also not behind any firewall. What am I missing in this case?

-Sirish

your windows firewall..you need to open the port there..

Hi,
I am not behind a firewall. I checked Control Panel -> Windows firewall and got the message that the service is not running. Could it because this is my office laptop as well, and the IT guys have enforced some other rules to block port forwarding?

- Sirish

try from portforward.com

Changed the DHCP range in the router

Subnet Mask: 192.168.1.0(*<<<=== wrong entry ?)[/quote]
Check subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0
should be a similar page.

essbebe,
I did correct the subnet mask.That was a typo mistake in my previous post. Anyways still not able to port forward and get the same error message. Any inputs?

-Sirish

do you use any vpn software?? which maybe routing all traffic through their servers..

Although I do have the Cisco VPN client on my laptop I have currently not connected to the corporate network using the same.

-Sirish

does the internet work even without connecting to the vpn?? go to the commmand prompt and type ipconfig and post output here..

Yep, the internet works fine without the VPN.

Here's the output of ipconfig

do you have any other pc to test the port forwarding, if so , then we can make sure that the router settings are correct and its only something to do with the laptop..

Hmm...I was thinking on the same lines as well. My home PC has some issue with the SMPS. Will get that fixed in a couple of days and then ping back with the results from the other PC

Any more suggestions to try out until then are welcome.

Thanks

GLB-802C port forwarding
Post screen shot of Device status page,
showing the menu selections , to compare with similar Routers
, so that user/s can guide you.
This modem seems to be latest only for Indian Market
and being sold since Aug 2008.
No guide/s available in Linksys Website.( other than product specifications ).

@sagar1234
very interesting way of asking a question!!!have you tried the link which essbebe posted, steps for 502c and 802c should be similar

One suggestion which seemed to have worked : I have not tried it.
connect the RJ45 from modem to LAN port of Wifi router,
instead of WAN port.Enter PF details in either one or both.

You need to understand port forwarding concepts. Please read the following: Torrents and Port Fowarding Guide

Port forwading is almost same in all routers. Either use "Virtual Server" otion (if available) or use "NAT/DMZ" option.
