Nighthawk X4S D7800 - Port Forwarding problem
Nighthawk X4S D7800
Router Firmware Version V1.0.1.16
I setup port forwarding as per the manual but I am not successfully connecting to my internal IP address. Please help.
Port Forwarding
| # | Service Name | External Ports | Internal Ports | Internal IP address | |

Problem! I could not see your service on 121.220.79.12 on port (2020).
Reason: Connection refused.

Something has to be listening on the opened port at 192.168.1.200 in order to respond to a port checking service.
If you don't have something running then Connection refused is actually a good sign because it signifies that 192.168.1.200 responded that nothing is listening on that port, which proves that the router forwarded the port.
NIghthawk X4S D7800 - port forwarding connection refused
I am able to access 192.168.1.200 (device) within my home network.
I tried to setup port forwarding on my D7800 router but Open Check Tool returned thi message "Problem! I could not see your service on 137.147.139.17 on port (2020).
Reason: Connection refused. "I tried to check the port used for Remote Management, Open Check Tool "Your ISP/Router/Firewall is not blocking port 4444"
Is this something to do with the firewall?
My PC setup:
OS Windows 8.1
Kaspersky Internet Securities 2016
Malwarebytes Anti-malware Home
Currently my ISP using Dynamic IP
Please help .
- Check whether the firewall on the device at 192.168.1.200 is set to allow incoming connections to port 2020 from the Internet.
