baba Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Hi, I am currently using IPStar with the IPX-5100 Box. I connected a WLAN router to it. Websurfing etc. is not Problem but I cannot manage to use File Sharing Software like Emule. I know quite a bit about prot forwarding, but as the IPStar Box acts like a Router itself, I have problem to get everything through my WLAN router. Does anyone has a similar configuration and managed to forward ports successfully? Any hint or help is appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port forwarding must be done at the same point where traffic is NAT'ed (from a private IP to a public IP). When you do a traceroute to any website, you will see that the satellite link itself is in the private IP range, so NAT takes place at IPstar in BKK. That's the only place where you could set port-forwarding. ...which you can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baba Posted May 22, 2006 Author Share Posted May 22, 2006 Thanks, you are right. A traceroute would have saved me some grey hairs *lol* Have a nice Day Baba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moo9 Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I need to stay in touch with my Amateurradio friends around the world and I use the IPStar from CSLoxInfo as well. The software I use for communication is called Echolink. It needs to open ports 5200 TCP and 5198-5199 UDP. I cannot succeed to do it with the IPX-5100 Box, although I tried anything in the Networt settings. Anybody got any idea how to manage the port forwarding? From the box setup menue it seems to be possible, but I dunno.... Any comment welcome Moo9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

croftrobin Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 If you want to have control of your ports then you will need to pay for a fixed IP address. Which I think costs 100 -200 baht per month. I had one with CSLOXinfo's IPstar but haven't bothered with TOT's IPStar as I no longer require it Just contact support and arrange for a fixed IP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tompelli Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 How to Port Forward IPStar Satellite router Firstly, you need to navigate to your IPStar web interface. You need to know 3 things. 1.) Your IP address 2.) Your Default Gateway address 3.) The port number you would like to forward To find out your IP Address and Default Gateway address you need to do the following: In windows, click 'Start' then 'Run...' Type 'cmd' and press enter. You should now be at a command prompt (a black box).Then type 'ipconfig' and press enter in the black box. It should now show you some information. All you are looking for are: IP Address, find it then write down the address Default Gateway, again find it and write it down Once you have found your default address, type the numbers into your web browser, then add at the end of it “:8080/xwebgateway.cgi” then click go. It should bring you to your IPStar User Terminal Click on networking and then you will be asked for a password and user name (default usually ADMIN: operator) If not you will need to call your ISP. Once in the Network area of the terminal you need to disable netgain, it’s just a radio button that you click. Then on ‘NAT Pass Thru Port” click add: Next add the following: Description: Add a name for this, so you can remember what you added at a later date Protocol: Set this to TCP Public Port: set this to your required port number Private Port: Again set this to the same port number Private IP: Set this to your IP address that you wrote down earlier Then click Add: The Repeat the whole process again but this time at the ‘Protocol’ click ‘UDP” then click add. Click; apply new settings at the bottom of the screen. The click Commit new settings on the bottom of the new screen Your Router will reboot, That’s it. If you followed this guide carefully you will have forwarded your ports correctly P.S. Worked for me - maybe its the netgain disable that is giving the headache - anybody know of a way to stop the cursed piece of plastic to stop logging off 50 times a day?

george Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Can you give an example of practical usage if you enable port forwarding? Running a local webserver, mailserver, webcam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francois Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 hi' one forgot to mention that for forwarding, one needs a static IP at least in the internet connection settings, just have to be out of the dhcp range gateway is the router address, and mask is always 255.255.255.0 francois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
