Cant Port Forward with Watchguard Firebox SOHO 6

[jhirst]

We use a Watchguard Firebox SOHO 6 hardware firewall in our network and I cant seem to set up port forwarding properly.

Can anyone tell me what to set and where. I have my computer ip address, the internet ip address. I have set the uTorrent port to be 40000.

There is no specific menu for port fowarding so I am assuming the option that I need to choose is Firewall->Custom Service.

From there I have put in a custom service, with the following values:

Service Name uTorrent

Protocol Settings Protocol - tcp, Port - 40000

Incoming Filter Allow

Service Host *tried computer ip address and internet ip address*

Host IP Address *tried computer ip address and internet ip address*

Outgoing Filter Allow

Host IP Address *tried computer ip address and internet ip address*

I am not even sure if I am in the right place, but nowhere else in the settings seems relevant. When trying these values I get "Error! Port 40000 does not appear to be open." when testing with uTorrent.

Anyone out there who can help????

********* FORGET ME, I HAVE SORTED IT OUT ***************

I am having the same problem, how did you sorted out? does anybody know how I come to do that... Utorrent works wonders without the soho 6, but with it it becomes vey slow and on the port check it shows TIMEOUT

It worked for me on an x5 Edge, and I think the config looks the same. For your settings, it should be:

Service Name uTorrent

Protocol Settings Protocol - tcp AND UDP, Port - 40000

Incoming Filter Allow

Service Host computer IP

If you have Allow All traffic for the Outbound Firewall:

Outgoing Filter No rule
