Port Forwarding??

[Silver]

So I've been trying to get into the Folding@home stuff, and I've been having some issues. The FAH web connecting thing won't connect to my client. At first my client wouldn't even connect to the FAH servers, but I fixed that by changing some firewall settings in Windows, but it still seems that no outside sources can reach my computer for FAH. I have a DDWRT router, and haven't really ever been able to set up any sort of port forwarding, which I assume is the problem, because canyouseeme.org always says that the port (36330) is closed... How on earth do I set this up so it works?

You have to configure it in your router

I've tried this, and this is how I have it set up, but it just seems to totally ignore my settings.

It looks like you have it 36330-36330 make it 36329- 36331

Didn't seem to help any. Thanks though. I may just give up on the whole web interface thing, because it seems to be working otherwise.

You do have an static IP on your PC?

I believe that I do, yes.

Try resetting your router and see if the changes take effect

FYI - can you surf the internet on that PC? If you can - that is it - you never need to open any ports on your firewall or the windows one to get FAH to work. This is because all communications are initiated by the client. Not externally. The only time you hear about us opening local PC ports, is for things like HFM to monitor.

Testing Access to FAH Work Servers

 

On the client system, simply try browsing to http://assign.stanford.edu:8080/and http://assign.stanford.edu:80/. Both pages should come up saying OK. This helps confirm that at least you can get to the work servers from your client.
