6yxx Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Im using a Huawei SmartAX MT800 Modem/Router, and a Linksys WRT54G router.i've set the port forwarding in my linksys router to my computer already and im pretty sure theres no problem there as using my old modem without any routing capabilities it has just worked fine.However this new modem has routing and firewall capabilities and i believe it cant be switched off.Whenever i try to test a certain port in Utorrent, it says the port isnt open on my public ip address.The new modem assigns my router a random address such as 192.168.30.10, however i tried port forwarding that to my router's address but it still doesnt work. U torrent will check my public ip address and it will still say its not opened. I followed everything here (http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Huawei/SMARTAX-MT-800/eJamming_Station.htm) but it doesnt work..im not quite sure what im missing, and what settings i should be lookin to change in the modem-router.the modem-router user manual can be found here.http://www.huawei.com/products/terminal/doc/list.do?id=22Hoping someone can help me out and point me in the right direction..

6yxx Posted November 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 ive read the chain port forwarding in ur signature, and i understand the concept.. however im not quite sure how to do it cause i feel im missing a step in setting the static ip..anyway, i first tried to take my router out of the equation, and connect my computer directly into the modem.. i gave my computer a static ip address of 192.168.1.100 : 255.255.255.0 .. and connected to my modem and went to the configuration page.. i located the NAT page and entered the utorrent port and put in a ip address that the modem always assigns my computer "192.168.30.14".. after im done with that i have to take away the static ip address cause i got no internet access with a static ip.. i only get access when it automatically assigns me an ip address..anyway after i removed the static ip, like i mentioned above, the modem now assigns my comp with 192.168.30.14 : 255.255.254.0 .. i dont know much about this but shouldnt my computer be on the same subnet as the modem? anyway, i tried to test the port forwarding, but yet it still cant work.http://img284.imageshack.us/img284/6205/2lw9.jpg================================================================before i can even start with the chain port forwarding, i cant even get my router to forward a port to my computer..should i be setting a static ip address for my modem? or shouldnt it be a bridge? im quite confused..here a screenshot of the inside settingshttp://img134.imageshack.us/img134/9466/1vp4.jpg================================================================ive googled a lot of pages about this modem and it seems alot of people are having problems with this modem...ive uploaded a copy of the user manual here, its a 1mb download.. http://download.yousendit.com/0A7D1E5D4F4E2F2Bi hope someone wouldnt mind checking it out and tellin me which settings i should be changing..it has screenshots of every page in the configuration page..a BIG thank you to all of you bothering to read this.

Ultima Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 The static IP should be what the modem gives you. So if you set a static IP of 192.168.1.100 for the router, it most likely becomes invalid when you connect to the modem, since (as you noticed) the modem assigns its own IP address to you. So you should set a static IP of 192.168.30.14 when connected to the modem when testing it.If you plan on setting the modem to bridge mode (would simplify things some), then you don't need to bother with static IP for the modem. All connections should automatically be passed to the router to handle the routing. If you lose your connection, do the PPPoE stuff as I suggested in the manual.

Ultima Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 What firewall do you have installed on your computer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6yxx Posted November 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 none.. just windows firewall which i have turned off for the moment to test this...should i be throwing this new modem in the trash by now? i really dont get this problem as i followed the port forwarding guide from portforward.com but still tells me the external ip address port is not open..ive googled on the modem and found numerous problems with this product.. if there's any answer, i would assume its in the user manual tat i posted the link above.. there's alot of stuff in there i dont understand as im not that good in this kinda stuff.. it would be real awesome if u could check it out..it has pictures of every page in the modem/router settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Have you tried bridge mode like you asked earlier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6yxx Posted November 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 there's only one area in the modem setting that has anything to do with "Bridging" and thats in the ATM settings..but by default its already set to bridge mode... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
