port forwarding the router to the Dreambox

I am having difficulties with conneting to the Dreambox

The setup is as such: I got a DSL Router (FRITZ!Box SL) connected to the internet. The DSL router is connected to a wireless router (D-Link 524) by LAN. The Dreambox and the other computers in the network are all connected to the wireless router.

1) THe problem is I am not sure about the port forwarding. First problem, the DSL router gives you three optons for port forwarding, see screenshot. What shall I put in there various boxes?? I want to port forward 12000
2) If I port forward, does the wireless router also needs to be port forwarding the same?

Thanks, TG

I use cccam
I can't connect the dreambox directly to the DSL because I need to conect it to the network so the other computers can use the internet connection.
I am pretty sure it will work, it is only the settings somewhere that need to be looked at....

If he were not a wizard, from head down to the root, you would have got to worry-your DB only boots

You can find how to configure port forwarding for your router at portforward.com

Normally no, but it depends on how the router is setup.

If its on the same network as the dreambox + dsl modem, there should be no need to forward any ports. I have a similar setup with a Linksys WRT54G. I didn't need to setup forwarding on the Linksys which is between the DSL modem and the Dreambox.

I cant be sure about your modem, but I would try something like whats in the attached image.
_http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/FRITZ/SL-WLAN3030/default.htm

I think CCcam uses a TCP connection, but I wanst sure when setting up, so I allowed both.

If you want someone from the outside world to test the connection to inside your LAN, let me know. You can just forward port 80 to your dreambox as a test.

My System: dreambox 7020

just a basic explanation of port forwarding:

the outside world sees your network as a single ip address, the address of the router.

on the other side of the router is your network where your computers can see each other and directly address/connect to each other to any port they wish.

when an outside comp needs to connect to a specific computer in your network and to a specific port, that's when you need to configure port forwarding.

say the routers external IP is 111.111.111.111 and your target comps network ip is 192.168.1.10. if an outside computer wants to telnet to your traget comp (and telnet default port is 23) then in your routers port forwarding you can set up:
port:23
forwarding address:192.168.1.10
target port:23

you can just as well do
port:any number (e.g. 777)
forwarding address:192.168.1.10
target port:23

in which case the outside world would have to telnet to your target comp by explicitly naming the "777" port, eg "c:>\telnet 111.111.111.111 777"

hope this helps

Hi guys
Tried everything. The computer does not port forwarding, I tried it through the web browser, and also I can see it from my friends cccam info, I am connected to him but he can't connect to me.

You might need to open that port on your firewall.

I haven't figured out why, but sometimes I have to open a port in the firewall as well as forward it to a LAN IP address. Traffic is sometimes not allowed through unless I do both.

well, it seems I got it going. Done the port forwarding, but strangely to a different ip address than the dreambox. My dreambox has an ip 192.168.0.5, but the port forwarding is 192.168.178.20 . not sure why, maybe this is the wireless router IP???
Also what seemed to do the trick, I found a setting called DMZ on the wireless router, and when I put the ip of the dreambox (the correct one) it did work. Strange....

DMZ= DeMilitarized Zone,
Whatever is in the DMZ is left outside the security of your DSL modem / router. Its completely exposed to the rest of the internet.

Its leaves the dreambox vulnerable to attack. Check it out, you should be able to telnet, ftp etc to the dreambox from the outside world when its in the DMZ

Not sure what the heck is going on with your IP addresses. It wouldn't be the IP address of your wireless router because because the router would need to be on the same network (192.168.0.0) as everything else in order to work.

I found a way to turn the dmz off and still get the port forwarding: On the DSL router I port forward the 12000 and 16001 to the 192.168.178.20 (which must be the IP of the WIFI router). Then on the WIFI router I port forward the 12000 and 16001 to the Dreambox IP. See screenshots.

If I turn off the port forwarding in either box it does not work anymore.

It seems you have two separate networks on the go (192.168.178.0 + 192.168.0.0) , and the wireless router is acting as a bridge between the networks,

There is nothing wrong with that, But it would probably be more simple if you set the wireless router as an AP (access point).

That way everything will be on the same network. That of your DSL modem. This would avoid having to forward any ports on the wireless router. Also if something goes wrong with connection(s), then you will only have one device to trouble shoot.

Hi
Yes, it might be that. To be honest, I haven't got a clue about networks, and it is almost a miracle that I managed to set up the computers, dreambox, routers and all in such a way that they all work together. I reckon it is a combination of pure idiot luck and hours of stubborn trying that made it work

I am waiting now for the new DSL WIFI thing to arrive, then hopefully it will all be easier.

Thanks for your comments, I am sure a little bit wiser now about the networking side
