Please help me access my server from an external network.

Post by timbeano »

I am having problems accessing my server from an external network. Any help would be appreciated.

1) Access from a computer on the same network works fine.

2) If I DMZ my computer, I can access the server remotely.

3) If i port forward the entire range it works fine.

4) If i port forward the individual port, it doesn't work. ie port 8080 or 9090 or any port that i have assigned it.

5) I am running the latest version on a mac mini

6) I have MI424-WR router provided from Verizon.

any help would be greatly appreciated as I would rather not DMZ my mac mini.

Version: 0.5.0 final
OS: OSX Snow Leopard
Install-Type: OSx.app
Skin: N/A
Firewall: OSX
IPV6: No
Reproducible: Yes (at least on my configuration)

Port forwarding is transparent to SABnzbd.
The problem must really be in the router.
Make sure you route 8080 to 8080 and not connect
different ports.
