TM6900 Super Router Firewall Settings

[eddieaok]

:confused: About to dip my toe in the water with connecting my TM6900 Super with Lan to a server but I need to sort out my Netgear DG834 v3
router settings.
Current firewall settings are:-

Firewall Rules

Outbound Services
# Enable Service Name Action LAN Users WAN Servers Log
Default Yes Any ALLOW always Any Any Never



Inbound Services
# Enable Service Name Action LAN Server IP address WAN Users Log
Default Yes Any BLOCK always Any Any Never

What should these be ?

as Technomate is a client: you don't need portforwarding
you need however the firewall not blocking incoming traffic (inbound):
think you might find some more info here:

http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/8219/c/3/p/15%2C21%2C161%2C172%2C182%2C/page/5/r_id/100109
allowed traffic in TCP & UDP
you would only allow trafic in on the IP or MAC address of your Technomate. use the log to find out what traffic is blocked on the IP or MAC address of the Technomate.

PS: if you used the DHCP on option in the TM: take note of these details, put these back in the TM with DHCP off. This will avoid changing parameters in the Technomate.

netgear 834 should give you an auto IP when press the red button on ip menu
got no problem for that one mate
go menu: system settings right hand push button
IP settings:
DHCP ON
press red button
you then should scan for an ip
if everything is fine ,you should see all your settings save and exit
all done
I can assure you that the netgear dg 834 should work ,i got the version 2 and it is almost the same
good luck

Thanks Giga dxman for your helpful comments :respect-048:

Connected to ethernet the Technomate found the router and allocated an IP address thanks again dxman for the info.
Giga do I need to add an inbound role for each server I connect to using the router.

Ed

[dxman]

You don't need to do that mate it should work ok,i can guarantee that
find a test server and start testing
for the moment i get a lot of freezing unfortunately it could be either the patch or the server

good luck

[eddieaok]

Hello dxman

Can you suggest a working test server I can try the missus has left me in control of the TV for once LOL

Ed

[eddieaok]

Hi dxman

Quick update tried a server showing connected but black screen?
Should the server address be the name or 192.0. etc


Ed

[Giga]

Should the server address be the name or 192.0. etc
name should do or if you know the IP address. Most info on these change within 24 hours. watch out for typo's, know what server/port for what package. If you get connected your on track.

[Giga]

If asked for port:
start: 1
finish: 65535
you have to give your TM an manual IP Address (Take note eventually of the details received by DHCP)

Inbound Services
Service: Any(ALL)
Action: ALLOW always
Send to LAN Server: Technomate IP address? Static IP address of TM6900HDSuper
WAN Users: Any
Log: Match (for now, so you see what eventually is happening with the traffic)

With these settings everything should pass to the IP address you have set for TM6900HDSuper. For safety of your computer(s) you should also give fixed IP addresses and not use DHCP (automatic distribution). You can take note of the current used IP addresses and set these manualy. Gateway and DNS should have the routers IP address.

Thanks again Giga for getting back to me

I will give this a go tonight and let you know how I get on

:cheers2:

:confused:
I tried both DHCP on connected to 2 different servers and black screen
Then DHCP off in TM menu and entered details manually but I keep getting network error
When entering IP address of techomate in the TM menu how you enter the last set of figures
fictional IP address 197.158.0.3 when entering into the technomate the last 3 figures in menu are 000 would I enter 003 or 300 for the final 3 from fictional IP address the TM would not accept 3 only 1 or 2.
I have created an additional rule for inbound see below

Service Any(ALL)

Action ALLOW Always

Send to LAN Server ... 197.158.0.3 fictional Tm IP address

WAN Users
AnySingle addressAddress Range
start: ...
finish: ...

Log

I can post the results of log on hear next time I try connecting if it helps? Ed

After banging my head on a brick wall for weeks:beatdeadhorse5:
I had gone back to basics reading every post on the 8281 subject.
I then checked a diagram showing straight through and crossover ethernet cables, mine was straight through not the required crossover.
So the next step is ordering a new cable.
Any recommendations where to buy? I need a 10 metre cable.

if you're connecting through a router it is a straight cable you need!

cross is needed for direct connection from pc to pc

[tony52]

you can by-it in any good pc store or look on Internet you may find it cheaper

:cheers2: Time to celebrate cracked it last night connected to server and channels clearing.
