If you want to know how to port forward Minecraft server through this provider, follow the steps below: But you still have the issue of the first layer of NAT above you, so fixing this isn't going to help anyway.Xfinity is an internet service provider produced by an American telecommunications conglomerate, Comcast Corporation. You need a router that supports NAT reflection to catch these requests to itself and redirect them to the relevant local resource. So if you were testing your ability to connect to the public IP of your boat network while connected via your boat network, your packets were just getting lost in the internet somewhere. When you want to connect to the network on the boat, you'd also connect to the VPN server.Īnother note, though it's not going to help you in this case specifically, but when you're on a network you can't go to the public IP of that network and make your way back in. Then on your boat you'd have a VPN client always connected to the server. Normally you'd do this by renting a cheap VPS and running a VPN server there. The only real way to do this is to connect from inside the network to somewhere outside the network that you can also connect to, then tunnel back in. That "public" IP you get is shared by many others. You're almost certainly not getting an actual public IP at your LTE modem. If you can successfully fix this issue, I'm happy to have you over for a cocktail on the boat sometime as thanks - provided you are local and not a lunatic. But doesn't the use of the dynamic dyn service through dyndns resolve that issue?
I see a few things online about needing a fixed IP, which I don't have. (It also doesn't work if I discover my temporary IP address and type that into an outside browser, adding the :4050).Ĭan anyone help me figure out why I am unable to get port forwarding to work properly on the MBR1515 router? I am sure that there must be some stupid setting somewhere I have clicked wrong, but I have spent several hours clicking random settings and putting them back and have really run against a brick wall. Everything looks correct, but it just isn't letting the traffic through. The port forwarding rule is saved and I tried restarting everything. I find the camera on the local MBR1515 network - say 192.168.1.15 - and go into the firmware settings on the MBR1515 to set port forwarding for that address to 4050.Īt that point, from outside my network I SHOULD be able to access the camera by typing :4050 into a browser. Within the camera firmware I set the HTTP port to something other than 80 (for example, lets say I use port 4050). I use the D-Link DCS-960 cameras (great 180 degree IP enabled camera). (I've done this at home with the Fios Quantum router without issue) (for example, let's say this creates the address in place of my IP address.)Īnyway, I want to add an IP Webcam - actually, a few cameras - and need to get port forwarding to work.
The MBR1515 has a setting in the firmware to let it automatically log into my account and update the dynamic dyn host address. I have a host address to deal with an ever changing IP address. It also has a few ethernet ports that allow me to run an internet enabled high water alarm and an internet accessable weather station. It works great to act as a moblie hotspot on my boat (giving me wifi on the boat over my 4G data connection). I have a Verizon 4G LTE Router (MBR1515). This is on a boat, not my home - but that really doesn't matter. u/RoweDent created this awesome resource on network theory u/tht1kidd_ has created a suggestion post regarding information everyone needs to provide when asking a question about their network There have been some excellent guides written in this sub, and we're always looking for more!
