FiachTiogair Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Hello, does anyone have experience with port forwarding with Telstra? I've tried countless variations of the port forwarding and nothing works. canyouseeme.com can't see my ports, friends cannot connect to me etc. Here is a picture of my current port forwarding settings. I would put a port range for 2300-2400 however the Telstra modem doesn't actually support port ranges. Obviously the best ISP in Australia /s. Does anyone have any suggestions or experience with port forwarding with a Telstra router (Technicolor TG800vac) ? I can't find much in terms of other forums or anything like that. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 (edited) Telstra is my ISP too, but I don't use their gear. Happy to PM you copies of config screenshots from my Router to see if they help and then talk you through it. Can you also confirm that you have set up your PC to have a static IP address? Your port forwarding may well be correct but if your IP address keeps changing it maybe forwarding the traffic to the wrong address. Lastly can you confirm that you want to Host SB sessions? Port forwarding is only required for you to host. If you are happy to be a client (join a session hosted by someone else), you can skip all of this. Lastly, shameless plug(s): https://www.bganzac.org/ Edited April 28, 2018 by Gibsonm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiachTiogair Posted April 28, 2018 Author Share Posted April 28, 2018 (edited) Would you be able to tell me here why it's wrong? I might not have time to join up on TS :\ Also I don't have a static IP address but I've added the rules today without a restart to my router. I'd really prefer to not have to ring up Telstra again to try and get a static IP set up. Last time I did they were too incompetent to actually do it, and since I'm on NBN, the option to add it through the account isn't present. And yes I know I am doing this because I am trying to host.

DarkAngel Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 way too much typing. Main tthing I see is you are trying to forward to a real/ external IP address rather than a Local/internal IP address 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiachTiogair Posted April 28, 2018 Author Share Posted April 28, 2018 I tried port forwarding to my internal port, both my default gateway and also my internal IPv4. Neither allowed my friend to connect unfortunately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngel Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 well it certainly won't work supplying an external IP 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiachTiogair Posted April 28, 2018 Author Share Posted April 28, 2018 Well here are my current settings. Any more suggestions before I need to come on TS to fix this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngel Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 are you sure this is port forwarding not Port triggering? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkAngel Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 did you double check your local IP address? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiachTiogair Posted April 28, 2018 Author Share Posted April 28, 2018 Yeah I retrieved that local IP from cmd ipconfig 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiachTiogair Posted April 28, 2018 Author Share Posted April 28, 2018 I won't come on today, but I might this week or so. Could you leave the TS IP in this thread for me? Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotareneg Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 For SB 4 the host only needs to forward two ports, 2300 and 2400, both UDP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngel Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 it should be a range of 2300-2400 You also need the 47624 for connection 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkAngel Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I know the official Gab but recently I was helping someone and it did not work until the 47624 port was opened 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiachTiogair Posted April 28, 2018 Author Share Posted April 28, 2018 (edited) Rotareneg you are a legend. That actually worked, for the first time in my Steel Beasts ownership I've gotten it to work. Thanks heaps man. *It also may have been due to me going into options > network and setting it from All Available to just IPv4, either way thanks everyone for the help.

Last time I did they were too incompetent to actually do it, and since I'm on NBN, the option to add it through the account isn't present. Restarting the Router doesn't matter. Its restarting your Computer that matters. I'm not talking about a static IP on the WAN side (Telstra). I'm talking about a static IP on the internal side (your LAN) for your Computer. Which is why I asked (I've emboldened the "PC" bit): 3 hours ago, Gibsonm said: Can you also confirm that you have set up your PC to have a static IP address? If your Router is providing DHCP and allocating IP addresses as required its is just pot luck / a function of the DHCP lease time out whether your computer gets the same address every time. For example: Your PC might be currently allocated 10.0.0.2 and you set all your forwarding up to go to 10.0.0.2. You may restart the computer for some reason and your router may give the computer 10.0.0.3, in which case all your port forwarding is "broken" as the traffic is being forwarded to 10.0.0.2. If you give its a static IP address of say 10.0.0.5 and set the forwarding up to go to 10.0.0.5 it will always forward to 10.0.0.5. One less thing to fault find down the track.

FiachTiogair Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 Yes I understand static IPs, and I know a PC get served a new IP every time it restarts, and not the router. My PC has used 10.0.0.76 since I've set up my internet, so regardless of if I have a Static IP actually set or not, it's yet to change, so it's a non-issue for now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 without trying to be too much like Lazarus, I've just been forced to install a Telstra "Smart" Modem Gen 2 on the NBN (now Telstra believes they aren't supplying what I'm paying for). As a result, if people search here in the future I can provide "Telstra specific" screenshots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
