Question About DMZ. Please Help. |
|
|
I have broadband cable not DSL.
I have tried several places and have not been able to get an answer to
this question.
I use a LinkSys router. Several people have suggested I need to
forward certain ports to make MSN Messenger Application Sharing work,
but each person lists different ports to forward.
As a test, I pointed DMZ on my router at my machine's IP address. As
I understand it, DMS opens/forwards all ports. So, enabling it
should rule out any and all port forwarding issues, is that correct?
FYI, app sharing still didn't work.

Your question is not related to cable or DSL.
However, in the future, if you have a Cable ISP problem here is the place to go...
comp.dcom.modems.cable
Also note it is NOT On Topic for MS Networking.
The following IS the right News Group specifically for your problem !
microsoft.public.msn.messenger

It is not a question about Messenger, nor is it a question about cable
modems so neither of your suggestions is appropriate. My question is
about broadband routers and how the DMZ function works.
DSL uses broadband routers and there seems to be no newsgroup devoted
to these devices.
A check of Google shows many posts about broadband routers in the xdsl
group. That is how I chose this group.

Well it IS about Messenger and what TCP and/or UDP ports needs to be port-forwarded. What
better place to ask about MSN Messenger and what protocols it uses other than a MS News
Group dedicated to that program ? Albeit, if you enable uPnP MSN Messenger may do this
automatically to port-forward the required ports.
You know also know that the News Group; comp.dcom.modems.cable is for Cable ISPs as well.
Now if your question really concerns "...broadband routers and how the DMZ function works"
then the News Group; alt.comp.networking.routers is apropos.
Do you now see how it works Jim ?

I probably know better than you how newsgroups work. Who died and
made you the policeman of this (and other) newsgroups anyway?

Oh, and by the way, I have access to two news services and neither
carries alt.comp.networking.routers.

I have a LinkSys BFSR11. I could not get port forwarding to work with VNC
5600. This is a single port and I don't think I made a mistake in setting
it up. I could not get port forwarding to work, period. I had to resort to
DMZ as a workaround. Setting up DMZ did work.
You do not say what your DMZ results were. My guess is it worked for you.
If my experience is valid, it may be that the problem you are having is in
the LinkSys port forwarding function implementation itself.

No. It didn't work. Am I correct that DMZ forwards all ports?

That is my impression, yes. You can easily test this in your setup only to
insure the DMZ is correctly setup.
