Router Port Forwarding To Multiple Computers On A LAN
Apr 21, 2009
Any solution to this problem.
I have for example a few machines up and running on a LAN (might be VM's but that shouldn't be an issue).
Say I have five with addresses 192.168.2.2 ==> 192.168.2.6
I might want to RDP to any of these from behind a router.
Using something like No-IP (No-IP - Dynamic DNS, Static DNS for Your Dynamic IP) I can get a an "Internet acessible" domain so I don't need to know the actual IP address that the Internet sees my router.
As I'm behind a router having Multiple domains won't help either as to the external Internet my router is seen as a single IP address.
However the router will only port forward to a single IP address on my LAN.
So if I need to RDP to any other machine on my LAN other than the default one presumably I could only do this by using a different default port for RDP for each of the machines on the LAN. OK not pretty but "Do-able".
Now we get to the real hassle -- If I did this then I'd need a different version of RDP on the CLIENT computer -- not possible if I'm using a work laptop .
I want to be able to RDP to maybe 3 or 4 different machines on a Remote LAN (OK I'm not THAT well off to be able to afford a large number of machines -- these will be Virtual machines).
On a LAN with Bridged networking these machines behave just like REAL physical machines with their own IP addresses.
Now in my router I can only see a way of Port forwarding to a specific IP address on the Lan
I have a Linksys WRT160N v2 and i play a lot of games, and enjoy hosting games.however there are too many ports to forward. I was wondering that if i turned off my routers firewall would this eliminate me having to port forward? and if i could do that how would i. I know how to access my router so you can give instructions form that point of if you would like
I am connecting to my office computer from home using remote desktop connection.
My office computer is in a network under router. So I forwarded a port 3389 to my computer's internal ip address. Now I want to connect to another computer at my office from home. I tried forwarding the port 3990. But I was not able to access using remote desktop connect.
What should I do to access the second computer. Will 3390, 3391 ... will not work?
I need help port forwarding my minecraft server via wifi. I have all permisions to setup but after all the threads and programs I have tried, nothing works. I get exception Failed to Bind to port perhaps another server is already running on this port.
I have two computers running W7p that I want to access when I'm away from my office. I am able to use remote desktop from inside my home network on either computer. I am able to access one of the computers from outside with my router set to forward global port 3389 to host port 3389. I am guessing that what I need to do is set up two port forwards in my router; the global port will be different but the host port will still be 3389 in each case. Does that sound right? One thing I know is that going into the registry and changing the host port to something other than 3389 does nothing. In fact, if I do that I can no longer use remote desktop inside my home network. I've looked all over the web today and there are not any clear instructions on how to do this (that I could find). I read the Windows 7 forum tutorial.
For the past 3 days Ive been trying to open up ports in my router (Siemens sx763) with no luck. Ive done all the port forwarding correctly but when i check the port from a website it say my port is blocked. I use a wireless connection. I think ive done my other router/connections/ip settings wrong but im not sure what it is.

I've got a friend that approached me earlier today with the idea of running his own private wow server. While I know this is feasible, though maybe not with the hardware he is running, we are at a disagreement on whether or not it is possible for him to forward ports specifically for his computer and leave the rest of his household electronics unaffected by the security lapse inherent in doing so. Is it possible to forward ports for certain computers on a network and keep them closed for others?
If this isn't the specific section for it i'll take my question somewhere else, but I figured this would be the closest. I've spent hours searching high and low for my issue, here and there i'll find someone post the problem but no answer is ever posted.I can't open any ports, everything is perfect port forwarding is enabled, hell I even enabled DMZ on my router. Works on my laptop (XP Operating System) and on my Xbox Live. Only doesn't work on this computer.
I will give you an idea of my set-up then what I am trying to do and what I have done.I have a BT router with Static IP, two wired computers, both have DHCP IP�s but BT Router makes static IP�s assuming computers MAC address don�t change (according to BT)I am trying to connect using Remote Desktop and port forwarding for each PC e.g. 81.149.115.104:51463 The port is open when checking via [URL] but when trying to connect via Remote Desktop it times out/doesn�t connect. I have set each PC to listen on the respective port in regedit but still nothing. Windows Firewall is also configured to allow connections through each port. Still nothing?
I want to host a Minecraft server, I also own a domain at one.com. Just a couple of questions; Can I use the DNS (or something else) on my domain to somehow make players able to connect to for example "mc.mydomain.com" instead of having to write my IP? Or Can I host the server on my domain? Anything else? Or should I port forward something? Hopefully this fits in the gaming category (Minecraft)... Could fit in some other categories aswell.
I have a Server connected to a fixed IP on local LAN say 192.168.0.7 Now I just want to use some client software REMOTELY (outside the LAN) which simply requires me to type in IP address + user / password. Now if my Router reports my current IP address as www.xxx.yyy.zzz is THAT the address I should use and do I need to port forward anything -- The application is Vsphere NOT RDP as RDP needs me to connect to a WINDOWS machine (Real or VM inside tha LAN).On the server I can access ANY of the running VM's from the Vpshere client.I've actually "Poodlefaked" it so I can get my INTERNET IP address by starting the No-IP program from within any of the VMs at start up. This should allow mw to retrieve the current Internet IP address.(No-IP - Dynamic DNS, Static DNS for Your Dynamic IP)The No-IP works fine for me --there are others you can use for similar functions when you have dynamic IP's.
I Seem to be having trouble forwarding my ports, My router model is a D-Link DIR-615. (If needed by PC Specs are down below) When I go into my router and i forward the ports, the forwarding doesn't work, Here is what I know:
- Computer IP Is the correct IP that the port is being forwarded too - Windows Firewall is Off - Restarting the Router/Computer Multiple Times - The router says the ports are forwarded - I have forwarded the ports to a laptop of mine and that seemed to work - I tested the ports on this site Open Port Check Tool - Test Port Forwarding on Your Router - That site told me that the forwarding to my laptop worked, but not to my desktop
So everything was fine until today when I woke up. My internet wouldn't work, it was saying that I was connected with internet access but never gave me it. I checked my router settings and it shows all the correct things.
So then, I decided to check my brother's computer which is in the same room and he couldn't connect either. I turned my computer off and somehow, my brother's computer had internet access and could access the internet.
Posting from my brother's PC now. I have attempted everything, restarted the power to everything about 5 times. Our internet has always worked and has until today.
I have 2 wireless routers/switches in my house. I have a router downstairs and one upstairs My setup is currently like this Downstairs: Computer Printer Modem Upstairs computer HTPC (media center pc) I use the printer on the downstairs computer to print everything, and this used to work fine until I installed a new router upstairs. My old setup was that upstairs I had a wireless router, and a separate switch, and the router was feed internet through the switch. Now that I installed a router/switch combo, I cant see any computers except for whats directly connected to the upstairs router.
I run a web server from my laptop, and my IP address (location) gets updated via DynDNS.org servers.My notebook is always behind a NAT-configured LAN, and I have configured the router firewall to pass port 80 service requests to my IP (usually 192.168.x.2, where x is maybe 0 or 1 or whatever.I use NetSetMan for location based setting).the DHCP server is configured to stay away from static addresses in the private LAN.Most routers have their own port 80 service, the configuration interface, accessible by hosts inside the LAN.I don't have a problem with port 80 service requests coming from the WAN getting passed to 192.168.x.2 host running the web server.BUT, users in the 192.168.x subnet requesting service from within the LAN do NOT get delivered the web page from host 192.168.x.2, but instead the router's configuration interface, if they use the host NAME. Of course, if they use the host IP address, they get the content.What is happening of course is that if anyone uses url..., it goes to DynDNS.org where the IP is resolved to the address a.b.c.d, the WAN IP address of the router I am currently connected to. So the http client bundles the packet to the destination a.b.c.d:80.The users INSIDE the LAN get the router configuration interface web page when they type in a.b.c.d:80, but not users OUTSIDE the LAN (in that WAN).
I have two PC's in the same room connected to the router and receiving good to excellent signal strength. One PC has no problem getting online while the other one can rarely get online. Or, if it does, it doesn't stay online. The problem computer is a Dell desktop using a wireless USB adapter. In the past, in different houses, it has never had a problem getting online. Windows 7 troubleshooting has not been successful.
This is for my parents house. They have high-speed net that can only be registered to one computer, so running it to a router and then computers is not an option. We used to have it setup with net into "computer 1" then out to the wireless router. The new computer has only one ethernet port, so this can no longer be accomplished without buying another card, which I am very inclined to do. They are getting another computer that will also have Windows 7 and would like to get wireless working again, so...
1) I've tried an ad-hoc connection. I understand the concept and had it working for awhile but found it to be "finiky." I would always have to restart the connection everytime I wanted to use it. I couldn't get it to "stick." Did I maybe do something wrong or is there no way to keep the net connection open? I "saved" the network and set it to start automatically, but it would always close the internet sharing.
2) I haven't messed with home group...will this feature accomplish internet sharing easily??...without messing with any ad-hoc crap? I need everything as simple as possible, so if they have any problems I can fix it over the phone or they can figure everything out for themselves.
Like I said, worst comes to worst, I'll get them another ethernet and run it the old way...was just hoping I could simplify things and save some money.
my windows 7 RC is about to expire, I do have a copy of XP Pro that I got from a buddy of mine...I am not sure if it will work or not using an upgrade version of Windows 7, I want to use the 64 bit version of Win7, and I want to be able to put it on more than just one pc at the same time.
I would like to put win7 on my 2 pc's and my friend's parent's pc. Is there a version of Win7 that I am able to use on multiple pcs at the same time or do I need to buy separate Win7s for each individual pc?
I don't anticipate upgrading to a new pc for myself any time soon, but there is a halfway decent chance that I might sell my current system and be able to get a new one that way. So...an OEM version kinda scares me, but at the same time, if it would definitely be the best value, I would not be totally against it.
Another concern for me would be home, pro, or ultimate...I think ultimate would be kind of a rip-off for what I would need...the only feature looking somewhat interesting it has that pro doesn't would be the encryption thing, but I mean really, I can probably get by without that. I'm leaning towards pro mostly because I'm scared there will be a program I'll want to use that I would need to set up the native xp mode for...but again, do I really need to worry about that too much? Home would be the cheapest and in my mind have the most value, but I'd like to hear from you guys if you think I would want the features from pro or ultimate and if that would represent the best value.
So, it boils down to...
1) Stick with XP pro or go Win7? (I believe either will work fine for my needs...online poker mostly, web surfing, game playing [WoW mostly], and DL'ing/listening to music...but Win7 is so much zippier and cooler looking!!!)
2)Home, Pro, or Ultimate?
3)OEM or Retail?
4)Upgrade or Full?
5)Most important!!! Best way to get on multiple pcs?
All three of my computers at home (all on windows 7 ultimate 64bit) are connecting to the same router with same SSID, but they end up having duplicate names such as NetworkName 1, NetworkName 2, NetworkName 3. This is preventing me from having them share via homegroup. I made sure the computer names are all different and all connect to same workgroup name. Is this a router setting problem? i'm using a cisco-linksys wrt-160n flashed with DD-WRT. i was checking the settings and ran across a new term, vlan. could it be they are all connected to separate virtual networks? i tried to disable vlan, however, that just disconnected all the computers to the internet.
I bought Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit for my Windows Vista comp. Now that I am thinking of building my own computer will that cd work on a new hard drive? I know I will probably have to call Microsoft about a new product key but aside from that should I be fine?
I was wondering if anyone knew whether it is possible to login to multiple computers at once. More specifically I would like to use the fingerprint reader on my laptop to login to it and my two desktops simultaneously. I don't even know if it is possible, or if this is the right section in the forums but
I am trying to figure out how to network my laptop with my desktop. I have a Qwest DSL Wifi router. My desktop computer is hooked up to a Vonage device/router and then the Vonage device is connected to the DSL router. My laptop is connected to the Qwest router by Wifi. Also, the deskop and Vonage device are setup with a static IP. Is there any way to network between my desktop and laptop so I can do file sharing?
having a really strange issue that is affecting multiple computers all with windows 7 64 bit.
Home computer: Only seems to happen when installing or deleting .exe files... usually when I try and delete them. It is fine doing everything else.. gaming/etc.
Specs: I5 750 CPU 8 GB DDR3 RAM Nvidia 560 TI
Work computers (at least 6 different ones, all with different users): If it were only these computers having the issue, I would say lack of RAM... since we run a lot of apps, but since it is happening on my home computer....
At work I caught the RAM dropping down to 0 free, where it will normally have around 1 gig - 500 mb free. I haven't been able to catch the ram usage at home when the issue happens... since you can't even CTRL ALT DELETE, I forget the exact message, but it pretty much tells you to just restart your computer manually. Also the internet connection will drop, and firefox will say a script stopped responding.
This seems to have started happening in the last month or two, which leads me to think there was an update that affects how windows 7 is allocating RAM, where it is trying to use too much for the system and draining it.
Since this seems to be affecting so many computers I really expected to see a lot of people having the issue online, but I haven't been able to find anything.
I have a desktop running windows 7 premium and will later purchase a netbook that will come with windows 7 starter. Started is dumb, and i want nothing to do with it. So can I use the same key with the installation on the desktop on the netbook without it causing issues? In other words, I want to install it on both machines. Is there a way to do this without getting another copy or using a keygen?
Is there any way to use KMS with 20 Serial Keys to Activate 20 computers with Windows 7. I am confused on if you need a Volume License only. and if you do is there any way to be able to have the Server Automatically Activate each computer after it is imaged. We plan on imaging our computers like once a month, but we dont want to manually set up the Serial Keys each time.
I have 2 Windows 7 Computers and neither one will recognize a Lexar 16gb usb flash drive, my son has a Windows 8 Computer and it won't recognize it either. I see the drive in disk mgmt, and, sometimes, Windows explorer, but when I click on it, in Windows Explorer, I get the message, "Please insert a disk into Removable Disk(I". In Disk Mgmt, the device says "No Media", when I right click to go to Properties, the device status shows "This device is working properly" and, finally, when I try to update the driver, it sas the driver is up to date. I think the drive is dead (it was bought for my son for Christmas), but want someone else's opinion
Last week I had a Win XP desktop computer. I use a Netgear WGR614 V6 router. I have fiber to the house and use a Cat5e Ethernet cable to connect the router to the wall jack and Cat5e from the router to the XP computer. I also used Wi-Fi to connect my Windows 7 x64 new laptop and an older XP laptop to the Internet. Everyone was happy and all worked well! I set-up a new Dell Windows 7 x64 desktop computer (it currently connects to the Internet just fine).
During the period I was setting up the new Windows 7 desktop I had both the XP desktop unit AND the new Windows 7 desktop connected to the router via Ethernet cables (at that time both laptops could connect to the Internet). After I had transferred the XP files to the Win 7 computer I just shut down the XP computer and removed the Ethernet cable linking the XP computer and the router - the new Windows 7 computer still connected to the Internet fine (as it still does today).
I made 2 changes to the router: 1) I had the XP desktop connected to Port 3 on the back of the router and had the Windows 7 x64 desktop connected to Port 2 on the router. 2) I used Cat5e cable on the XP desktop and used a Cat 6 cable to connect the new Windows 7 desktop unit to the router.
Both laptops see my router name but neither laptop can connect - even ran the troubleshooting routine. Could simply using Cat6 cable be causing a problem (Windows 7 desktop connects fine via the cable, laptops can not connect via Wi-Fi)? Surely just changing the port I connect the desktop cable to the router with wouldn't cause any problem would it? Do I need to do some sort of set-up or configuration to the new desktop unit to make the router Wi-Fi work for the laptops?
