The forwarding ports are not functioning properly.
The forwarding ports are not functioning properly.
It seems the port-forwarding might not be working correctly or there could be another obstruction, since DMZ should normally allow unrestricted access...
Yeah, my ISP says it is not broken, so I am as lost haha Yeah it is the same, I read about that and my ISP confirmed it was not that.
Using the server in DMZ with the firewall disabled on the server itself should resolve the issue once you clear all software blocks. If it doesn’t work, switch to the Asus wireless router. Ensure it’s set to access point mode, disable DHCP services, and connect the cable to a LAN port instead of WAN. This will remove that device as a source of interference.
I would attempt to disconnect the Wi-Fi adapter, connect the PC directly to the modem, and test again. If that fails, the next step could be disabling all NAT functions on the modem and using it as a pure modem. Alternatively, I could configure the ASUS device as a full router with port forwarding enabled. My current setup is quite similar to what most ISPs provide, though it might require some understanding of certain terms.
I lack a sufficient cable length and rely on remote desktop to access the server. During the process of adding a Wi-Fi card, I encountered an unusual display adapter issue for the server. Yes, I previously set up with a bridged modem and an Asus router, which worked well before. Now I’m back to that setup after resetting everything. I’m trying the method you showed me a few days ago since it offers the most direct connection. I’ll also attempt the alternative version and see how it goes. My goal is to host servers.
I took out the ISP's modem right away. Connected directly from the fiber converter to a Ubiquiti USG, then through managed switches inside the house. It works perfectly. A bridged setup would be best. The modem sends everything straight to a router that handles routing and forwarding tasks. Some devices can't handle bridge mode properly, which is frustrating. You'll end up with double NAT, and even single NAT doesn't seem to function here—surprisingly odd.
Yeah, I bet ^^ I reset everything now and used the bridge connection now, and looks like this: M = Modem in bridge mode W = Asus router now in router mode S = Switch PC = MY PC Server = Server TV PC = TV PC hehehe So I tried to use the TV PC instead now, since it does not go through any switch, and I opend port 2456 and still its closed I also checked port 3389, I then turned on DMZ and 2456 was still closed, but 3389 was open! So something is working, I just dont understand why 2456 is still blocked. This setup is what I had before, and it used to work sometimes on my server, but the TV PC is better and I mostly use the server for backup and data since I have a lot of storage on it. So I want to use the TV PC for servers.
