Firewalled - what now?
Picking up a thread about how to open ports, I'd like to ask for some help how to do that.
Before starting with it, I'd also like to mention that it had cost me quite some time and nerves to set up the damn router and airport settings until my Mac worked properly, so I definetely don't want to do everything all over again. What I'm looking for is an easy way to temporarily open the firewall. My hardware is the following: Mac Pro w airport DSL wireless router: D-Link DI524 Tell me what other infos you need to help and I see what I can do. Pl44 No members have liked this post.

Re: Firewalled - what now?
What does it say under System Preferences > Network, and then select the Green Lit configuration and hit Configure. Up will come a page with your settings... under TCP/IP, what do you have selected for Configure Ipv4? I use Manually (and then put in an IP Address in the next slot), what does yours say? That will help us go to the next spot.

Re: Firewalled - what now?
set up
you prefs manually in system prefs use Airport then in TCP/IP configure IPv4 choose manually could could choose 10.0.1.201 as you static IP subnet mask to: 255.255.255.0 and set your Airport to : 10.0.1.1 as well as the DNS servers to 10.0.1.1 see here and follow this: http://www.portforward.com/networkin...ic-Mac10.4.htm set your airport to (radio button) Share asingle IP address (using DCHP and NAT) select Use 10.0.1.1 addressing follow the port forwarding tips and remember to forward your ports in airport under port mapping tab of configuration mode a port choice could be Public Port: 6883 Private IP Address: 10.0.1.201 private port : 6883 try all that? follow the Port forwading instructions... it should work you may have to restart all your airport your DSL modem and your computer, and or Azureus or other torrent client so does that help? I hope good luck

Re: Firewalled - what now?
If that doesn't work for you, let me know cuz I have a couple more questions for you (just as I asked about what you had in Configure IPv4, I would have asked what you have down for 'Router' and 'Subnet Mask' on that same page. I have '192.168.1.1' down for router, but it seems ArchivalAudio has '10.0.1.1', so I would have been suggesting different IPs to be putting into those fields than he did.) But yes, as you said, make it an alternative configuration so you can easily change back if need be.

Re: Firewalled - what now?
well
my thought was that it worked for me to set up a static IP which is suggested at (again) here http://www.portforward.com/networkin...ic-Mac10.4.htm and if you follow the Melted M&M example fromm here http://www.portforward.com/english/r...me/default.htm they use the 10.0.1.1 Addressing thats wwhat did it for me also picking a 5 digit port to forward at first I was ok with 6883 but then it was blocked check here http://azureuswiki.com/index.php/PortIsBlacklisted any way I am sure I found other info whan I was setting my airport up it was a bit frustrating and I thought I had it done for a while but didn't my Nat is ok I think if you use the 192.168......... addressing like Lynne suggests, it may work but since the example at portforwarding is right and they uses the 10.0.1.1 Static IP scheme seems to work here... also you need to go the pref pannel and in the Shareing file folder icon you need to "forward" the ports you want open under firewall tab I have added the port Azereus (54210) which is the port I am forwarding also since I am using 10.0.1.201 addressing I see this under the Services tab of the Sharing Pref pannel... Other Macintosh users can access your computer at afp://10.0.1.201/ or browse for "XXXX_ XXXX _Computer" by choosing Network from the Go menu in the Finder. because I have the fire wall on but Personal File sharing enabled including FTP does that make any sense?

I also forgot this if you want to chack to see if your ports are actually opened go here http://www.canyouseeme.org/ and to test your speed (Preferably without any torrents running and only this one web browser window open) go here http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ and choose the server location closest to you peace and good luck

Re: Firewalled - what now?
Verify your static IP in System Preferences > Network It should be something like 192.168.1.xxx . Then log in to your router and verify that the ports are being forwarded to that IP. Also, check if your Mac Firewall is on or not.

Re: Firewalled - what now?
well
I think I fixed it at least in Azureus no more firewall I needed to set my Network Pref panel manually IP Address to : 10.0.1.201 which is the "scheme" I am using the 10.0.1.1 addressing for my router ther for I need to forward 10.0.1.201 and I have opened those ports and yes I use the Apple Firewall software I hope I can keep this going thanx -- Ian
