Reef Angel Forum

Hi Guys, hoping someone can help here.

I am over in the UK and have tried in vain to set up port forwarding and just cannot get it to work, and I am starting to think this may be because of my BT supplied router.

I have set up everything in my router as it should be basically routing port 2000 to my wifi IP address, but the port is just not opened.

I even contacted my phone supplier and discussed with the technical people and they have supplied me with their latest router but it still wont open. I tried talking to their technical people and they said they will charge £30 to open my port, but I am sure I have done everything right and it should be open!!

They then suggested I contact Reef Angel to see if there is another port I can try as port 2000 may be the problem.

Can anyone help me through this as its really frustrating me!!

The default port is 2000, unless you manually change it

No, I haven't, will find it and have areas through - thanks..

Did you manage to sort it out?

Hi, sorry for the delay, been very busy, just got around to trying but still stuck cause Im thick I think!!

So, I have created an account at no-ip.com and I have managed to set my router to talk to my account - and the router software confirms they are talking - great!!!

Then I have created an app for my router called reefangeldns and I have assigned that to my reef angel wifi (also set static ip for reef angel wifi) and tried probing port with youtestsignal and says its closed.

So Im stuck again - im sure it is something stupid i am doing!!

In my no-ip setup, it is set for host type as DNS Host 9A) and I have entered the reefangel wifi ip address as the ip address - is this correct?

Please help, as this is frustrating me!!

cheers..

Hang on - think I may have sorted it!!

I have changed the IP address on the noip to my current ip address that it finds, and then when I do a port check, I let it use the IP address that it finds and for port 2000, says it open - does that sound like its correct?

Unfortunately cannot check with my mobile as reception is rubbish!

cheers..

Yes it is correct.

OK,

Tried my mobile app with 3G, but doesnt update - I have set to my wifi IP address and port 2000, but suspect I need to point to another IP address?

Can anyone help please?

thanks...

You need to use your external ip and not the internal ip

Thought that was the case - guess that will sort it now!!


Thanks..
