WNR2200 Port 80 issue

Right, I've spent three hours on this and am completely out of ideas.

I have port 80 forwarded to a webserver on 192.168.0.10
I can connect to this fine with 192.168.0.10:80

If I use http://www.canyouseeme.org/, it comes back with a timeout error.

If I unforward the port and make it so that the USB memory thing is running on the internet port 80, running canyouseeme comes back with success.

So this means that my ISP is not blocking the port, and CYSM can access it fine when its set to the memory stick.


Now, I then enabled logging for port forwarding, removed the port 80 connection for the USB stick, and forwarded port 80, 8080, 25565 and 25569 to 192.168.0.10. (I disabled remote management on 8080, so that forwarded correctly.) I then tried CYSM with port 8080, 25565, 25569 and 80.
Now, I have services running on 25565, 80, and 8080, but not on 25569. This was the entire log:

[LAN access from remote] from 8.23.224.110:21464 to 192.168.0.10:25569, Sunday, April 08,2012 01:17:29
[LAN access from remote] from 8.23.224.110:12372 to 192.168.0.10:25565, Sunday, April 08,2012 01:17:26
[LAN access from remote] from 8.23.224.110:31136 to 192.168.0.10:8080, Sunday, April 08,2012 01:17:23


As you can see, there is no mention of the port 80 attempt at all, yet there is for 25569. This leads me to believe that the port is not being forwarded correctly. Now, I have tried reforwarding this many times, and the situation has not changed at all. I have disabled UPnP, which was causing me issues last night, so that isn't a factor. I have also disabled all security on the router to try and get this to work, however it simply is not.


..Help please? =/

  • Bit more info - if I unforward the port and try to access it from a PC on my network using the external IP, it doesn't work. If I forward it, it does - but no log entry is created.
  • Retail - I'm with virgin in the UK. Using their superhub as a modem.

    It only works if I'm on the local network connecting with the external ip though. I'll make a ticket, my problem is the last issue I had completely ignored my question and told me to reinstall the firmware. Which I've tried for this problem and didn't work.

    seems loopback is working but should fail most part.

    you should ONLY test physically outside of your network
  • Ok, bit of an update. It seems when I change any settings to do with the USB Drive access it completely breaks port 80 - even if it isn't set at all. This was from a fresh reset with only port 80 forwarded
  • Right, I've got it working, and this is the problem -

    It is impossible to forward port 80 to any PC when you have either Remote Management or Remote USB Access configures, no matter what the port has been configured as for those.

    When I removed all access to them, 80 was freed.
  • Sorry for the amount of posts, but they're uneditable. Another thing I've discovered is that if port 80 is forwarded, you can't use the local router USB connect, even though it's only the router's local port 80. It throws an error, though.
    But, if this is set and you try to forward the port manually, it does not throw an error, But instead doesn't work at all
