Thread: help me to open port 113 in linksys

hello recently i bought an linksys wireless router WRH54G, all worked fine except my ftp client it requires to connect servers using ident via port 113 how to enable port 113 ?please guide me

Problem Webserver/sites hosted. Port 113 needed.

I have a server for my sites

Mention make/model of your ADSL modem.
Or
Check at this web site for settings.
BSNL BROADBAND MAIN MENU

Your set up: confirm
Phone line==modem ??==linksysWRH54G == computers ( how many?)
Master computer hosting web sites..
Airtel GPRS ( give details)

hello bsnl modem is UTstar 300R2U

modem is connected to wireless router then router is connected to only one pc

i can browse sites from web browser no problem, issue is lying with flashfxp (ftp client ) ident is requested by server on port 113 which is blocked while i connect via wireless router, direct connection with bsnl adsl modem doesn't block port and i can connect ftp server

Configure UT300R2U in PPPoE mode. Configure WRH54G in Automatic DHCP (aka bridge) mode.

Refer this thread for configuration: Solution for multiple machines connecting to same BB connection

If your UT300R2U has a different interface, use this thread (for UT330R2U only): UT300-R2U Ver 2.2 - Guide for setting up

Your WRH54G will most likely get an IP address 192.168.1.2. This is assigned by the DHCP server from UT300R2U.

Using the NAT/DMZ option in UT300R2U, enter this IP address in the screen. Click on 'Save' and reboot the UT300R2U.

For all your queries, please read the many guides posted in the Broadband How to section.

ok i tried that guide , i configured bsnl adsl ,connected wireless router and tried to open 192.168.1.1 lol instead of wireless router config window i get utstar login ? some thing wrong i did ? still i can browse net with a annoying dial up window popping up in firefox

Then you have not done something right. Did you read Torrents and Port Fowarding Guide?

ok here i swhat i did :-
1. reset bsnl modem to factory settings
2. using wizard selected Indian standard time > ppoe > gave logins > saved settings>rebooted modem> change main admin pass> checked status all ok
3. removed RJ45 plug from adsl and plugged in to wireless router port no.1 of 4
4. connected wireless router and adsl modem with RJ45 cable came with linksys one plug in adsl internet port another in linksys internet port main
5.tried to access 192.168.1.1 now here instead of linsys config window i still get bsnl adsl settings window

I think that UT300R2U and WRH54G are connected to each other. After step 2, do this:

- Disconnect connection betwen UT-300R2U and Linksys WRH54G
- Reset WRH54G to actory settings also
- Clear browser cache.

ok strange thing i saw i configured utstar300r2U in ppoe mode tried accessing internet it works fine and checked ftp client it connect normal sites not secured sites same error so this means 300r2u is blocking port 113 in ppoe mode in bridge mode its working any help ? how to unblock ?

Please clarify one thing:

[A] Are you trying to connect to secure FTP sites on other websites/computers?

OR

[B] Are you trying to enable FTP on your computer from external network?

For problem [A], the other (external) website/computer needs to open port. For problem [B], your port needs to be open. I am now re-reading the thread. It seems that your problem is [A]. Hence, please confirm.

@just4kix
1.Virtual servers option Not available in new UT300R2U.
He can use DMZ zone only.
( already confirmed in Broadband How to threads)

@bhanuprasad1981.

2.

3. removed RJ45 plug from adsl and plugged in to wireless router port no.1 of 4

These are LAN1 LAN2 LAN3 LAN4.
I think, this should go to Internet/WAN port.

3. Presume you are using Dialer Mode .
What is the message popping up in Firefox ?

4. check with this tool
http://www.canyouseeme.org/

5. You are having a web site and posting it from your computer?
software you use : Flashfxp.

6.Are you willing to change the FW of this modem ?
post the present BoardID and cfe loader &. soft ware
confirm.

as just4kix said , i dont think you need to open any port as you are connecting to a remote ftp server .. you only need to open if you are hosting an ftp server.. it could be that your firewall is blocking that application or port.. try disabling firewall temporarily to test.. so you know where the problem lies..

@essbebe, Virtual Server option was available in previous firmware versions of UT-300R2U. I myself had it. When I had to exchange my modem, they gave me a new UT-300R2U with the latest firmware. BSNL has disabled this option (Virtual server) in the new firmware. So in one way, you are correct also.

yes i am trying to connect to secure ftp site which is working on general bridge mode ,but not in ppoe mode ,i want to know why its working in bridge mode but not in ppoe , is there any way i can share pc internet with bridge mode and pc is off ?

ok guys i sorted this out by simply opening port range from 21-113 thanks for replies

@bhanuprasad
you should be more specific.
There is no option to give the range in the modem
( except DMZ) . or in the WIFI router ? in PPPoE mode .
Post screen shot of that entries.
Or did you enter it in Windows firewall ?

opening so many ports is RISKY!!VERY RISKY!!

@http://www.indiabroadband.net/members/bhanuprasad1981.html I wouldnt suggest opening up so much of the ports as u are literally inviting spyware/worms/trojans to the pc. Ensure that u use something like KIS/KAV to be protected at all times.
