desperado67 Posted August 19, 2007 Report Posted August 19, 2007 I have a computer at my parents place that I use for downloading torrents due to their unlimited downloads. They recently just had to purchase a new modem/router DSL 504T at parents place. I have set it up as per instructions and portwarding is working ok. As i get the green tick and speed guide says it is forwarded correctly.My problem is when I try to access this computer from my house using the www.ip:port/gui it has issues after I enter the username and password and won't connect.When I do the same thing from work it connects no problem. I also tried to connect to utorrent from work to my home computer, that also works no problem. It is almost as if Bigpond (house) is being blocked by TPG (parents house).Anybody have any ideas as to what I can try at home to get the WEB UI working ??Thanks.
Ultima Posted August 19, 2007 Report Posted August 19, 2007 Your router probably doesn't allow loopback connections. Doesn't really matter; just use localhost instead of your IP if you really want to check.
desperado67 Posted August 19, 2007 Author Report Posted August 19, 2007 I am not trying to do a loop back.my parents computer is in a different house in a differnt suburb, therefore 2 diff ip addresses.
Ultima Posted August 19, 2007 Report Posted August 19, 2007 Oh. You didn't restrict access to the WebUI based on IP, did you? Are you using ipfilter.dat? If so, are you sure you haven't blocked yourself there too?
Fuzzier Posted August 20, 2007 Report Posted August 20, 2007 You don't have to use your public ip.Try this:http://localhost:port/guiorhttp://127.0.0.1:port/guiI have no problem testing WebUI at my own computer.
Ultima Posted August 20, 2007 Report Posted August 20, 2007 Not really relevant, and I suggested the same thing already anyway (due to misreading the post like you did).
