Hi guys,

i need to forward tcp/udp port 6112 to my local machine ( internal ip 192.168.10.59 ).

i conf. it like this

User defined open / forwarded ports
Source IP Public port Private port Private IP Protocol
all 6112 6112 192.168.10.59 tcp
all 6112 6112 192.168.10.59 udp

When i try to login i get network error, due to non running beta i can#t check if its me or there server.

but anyway when i try to check my open ports with canyouseeme.org my port 6112 is not reachable on my machine??

Whats wrong? is there any inconsistency here?

thx for help
chris

What you did should be sufficient as far as the Bubba is concerned. Most likely the cause of the issue is with your workstation. First off: the application needs to be running to open up port 6112 - was that the case when you checked with `canyouseeme`? If you're not afraid of the DOS prompt you can try to see if the port is actually registered:

Code: Select all

netstat -an | find "6112"
do you see the following lines?
TCP 0.0.0.0:6112 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
UDP 0.0.0.0:6112 *:*
Next, if you have a second workstation (a laptop maybe) try to connect to that port (also DOS):

Code: Select all

telnet 192.168.10.59 6112
If all is well, the screen should go black with just a blinking cursor in the top left corner and the title bar should now say `Telnet 192.168.10.59`. To make a gracious exit type Ctrl button and ']' together and than 'quit'. Of course I do not expect all to be well and that most likely you have an active firewall on your workstation that blocks access to port 6112.
