RBS850 Missing Connected Device
I just upgraded my RBR50 to RBR850. The setup was easy but in connected devices, I couldn't see any of the PC that's connected the my Satellite (RBS850). It only happened to wired PCs only. The PC...
Well crap. I have not helped at all. Guess you have two options:
- Pick at this scab until you get an answer. (search the forum for one term after another until a post comes up about 850 and ethernet devices not appearing, post more questions, Pay Gear Head to talk to you, etc.) or
- Now that the PC's are in the LAN Reservation table, move on to Port Forwarding.
My practice is to:- Confirm that the service responds to connections from the LAN first.
- Confirm that the Windows Firewall will accept connections for that service from foreign networks
- Check with Gibson Shields Up! that the ports appear to be open.
- Debug with the actual Public IP address before setting up Dynamic DNS.
Good Luck
Thanks, you did help a lot already. It's not blocking me from doing what I want to do but I do want to see the full list of what devices receive an IP from my router (i.e. right now there are gaps and luckily I know where those gaps belongs to, in case of suspicious activities).
