Title: Another "network Reachable: Not Yet" Post, Sorry
Post by: LargePig on August 20, 2005, 04:35:00 AM
Hi,
Wondering if i can get a pointer or two here.
I am running on a laptop win xp pro (Xlink Host from now on), behind a windows xp home machine running ICS (gateway from now on).
Gatway is 192.168.0.1 Xlink Host is 192.168.0.3
We are on ADSL w/USB ADSL modem plugged into gateway (obviously) I know my public IP, Xlink reports it correctly. I have the Xlink port set as 30000. I have Port 30000 UDP as an exception on the gateway's firewall. I have set Port 30000 UDP to redirect to 192.168.0.3 in the 'Settings' page of ICS on the gateway. Firewall on the Xlink Host is disabled, but i have added an exception for good measure anyway, as before port 30000 UDP. Xlink Version is 7.0.5.9
I have remote destop running on the Xlink Host, with the same config as above on the Gateway only for port 3389 TCP, this works fine, i can connect to Xlink Host on TermSvcs/Remote Desktop from any other computer on the net. BUT i STILL can get Xlink to report me as reachable.
Hopefully i have missed something fundamental.
Cheers

in kai are u just going into the messenger mode , checking the status and then leaving ? try clicking on the globe at the top to switch into arena mode, have a browse through some arenas and then see what happens ..
what kind of firewall is it ?

Thankyou!!! I knew i had to be doing SOMETHING fundamentally wrong! It's just windows XP ICS and windows XP firewall. It's working now.
I was under the impression that it would tell me all was ok just in messenger mode.
Thanks again.
