They mentioned opening port 450.
For my job I use a program that uploads data to another person. It functioned before, but now something in their system changed and I can't send data anymore. They asked me to open port 450, which I did using a Huawei B2338 connected via satellite. The router shows its operation mode as Gateway, but changing it to router didn<|pad|>'s network still didn<|pad|>. In advanced settings I enabled Port Forwarding, choosing both WAN and LAN ports at 450, and entered the IP address from the command prompt. Despite these steps, it still doesn't work. Someone please assist me.
You should handle the data transfer automatically if you're the one starting it. If not, everything seems set up properly. You've forwarded the WAN port to your computer. The issue might be that your local firewall is blocking the connection. Consider adding a rule to allow incoming traffic on port 450. Also, verify you're using the correct protocol—likely TCP for file transfers, but UDP could be beneficial as well on both your forwarding setup and firewall.
Port forwarding applies only to incoming traffic, not outgoing data.
He mentioned I should open port 450. Only port forwarding and port triggering are connected to ports in the router. I think I'm transmitting data since it isn't functioning and it shows a message about a package ready but unable to send. In Windows Firewall, the inbound rules I created added port 450 both as TCP and UDP, yet it still doesn't work. What other options are available? Could it be related to the router itself?
Can you verify if the issue is yours? Would it help to configure it on your mobile device so you’re certain port 450 is active, then set up a hotspot on your phone and test connectivity from your laptop?
