FG Knowledge Base - Firewalls

Hi everybody,

I'm running on OSX El Cap. trying to connect with no avail:
Attachment 15088

Have a ARRIS-4992 Modem/Router with apple Airport Extreme:
Attachment 15089
Attachment 15090

Went to the modem 192.168.0.1 and turn off the firewall and all its options:
Attachment 15091

Then add a Virtual Server with port 1802 as suggested:
Attachment 15092

Then run a test in FG and FAILURE connection test. What should I do?

You need to forward port 1802 on your router (192.168.0.1) to the Airport extreme (192.168.0.2) and then forward port 1802 on the Airport Extreme to your computer.

I'm not that network connection proficient, trying my best here. Do you know how?

[Trenloe]

Change your virtual server setup on your router to go to 192.168.0.2

Info on the airport extreme here: https://foscam.us/blog/foscamipcamer...-macmacintosh/ Add a port map with public and private TCP ports of 1802 and a private IP address of your FG computer (assuming 192.168.0.100 based on the info above?).

By-the-way, you probably don't need to disable the first routers firewall. *Usually* virtual servers/port forwarding are exceptions to the firewall. But, leave it off for the moment, get FG working and the turn it on and see if FG still works.

I appreciate your help, but his is very embarrassing. My airport utility app is more advance because I'm running OSX El Capitan and the options that are present are not the same as the ones in the link above.
I don't understand this language and the concept very well. Its like having my eyes cover trying to cash a fly with a pair of chopsticks. I'm not that bad with computers, but this network stuff is beyond me. Next time I level up, I promise I would select that skill.

Now my Airport Extreme Router is offline, Netflix is gone and my wife is chasing me all over the apartment, in a very menacing way, chopsticks in hand :-)

I feel like a Ranger lost in the woods.

Well, what change did you make in the airport extreme? Change it back, save it and switch it off and on again.

Then, if it comes back, do an internet search for "airport extreme port forwarding" and find something that matches what you see in your interface. Note: don't do anything to do with IPV6 (newer IP address formats) as FG can't use these. Use IPV4 port forwarding/port map to 192.168.0.100 (assuming that is what your FG computer's IP address is).

and send me a PM if you really are still stuck.

I have my router in line again :-)
The problem is that there are different options and I don't now for sure where is that I'm screwing things up.

Here is my setup in the modem Arris with the Virtual Servers Configuration:
Attachment 15096
Its this setup OK?

In Airport Utility there is a option for router mode:
Attachment 15097

For adding a Port Settings in IPv4 I need to select the DHCP and NAT option:
Attachment 15098

This is where things start to go offline.

I have another doubt, if I have 2 IP addresses, Ethernet IP and Wi-Fi IP, Which one should I add to the Private IP Address?

So I've got a ATT Uverse 2WIRE 3801 HGV.
I try to allow 1802 port connection for Fantasy Grounds like so.

And then I get a blank screen like this.

Any thoughts?
