Port Forwarding no longer works on my T3200M
I have a T3200M router and for many months I was hosting a Minecraft server on my computer with the port TCP 25565. Since then it stopped working, and this https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-por...
- The internal configuration file sometimes becomes corrupt after these updates.
Do a factory reset and manually apply your port forwarding over again plus any other customised setting you may have done.
It has fixed similar issues when actiontec devices web interface and observed behaviour no longer matches. I seemed to have it fail after every firmware update and need factory reset as my dynamic dns setting always stopped working after these updates.
It matches the modem ip address shown in the router control panel. I believe this is the right number because it always worked before, but I could be wrong.
If your external IP matches the router WAN IP then your service is not behind carrier grade NAT.
What router firmware version are you on? There was an update recently rolled out so it may be that your router needs a reboot. I'm on the new version and my port forwarding still works fine.
Sorry, I missed the part in your original post that said you already tried rebooting the router. Have you verified that your server IP address matches the IP address in your port forward settings? Have you assigned (reserved) a static IP address to your server?
Now that I think about it, I never actually restarted the router since around last month when it was last working. The router is on firmware version 31.164L.22, and I can confirm that the WAN IP matches the external IP shown online. I also made sure that the IP address in the port forwarding menu matches the IP of my computer that I am running the server from. With this in mind, I'm guessing the next logical step would be to restart the router and I will try that when I get home.
31.164L.22 is the new version and I updated mine 2 weeks ago. Some have reported that they got it over a month ago so the timeframe is about right. Check your router system up time before you reboot. My router had been up for almost a year.
