Port forward help needed (new router)

Hi,

 

I got a new router, a Huawei HG531 V1. I have the root password and have set up port forwarding for HTTP server. I start the server and go to the port check thing online. It says port 80 is closed. I can't access the site from outside.

 

The router is DSL

 

Thank You

Is the server on your machine running on port 80? Not uncommon for servers to set themselves up as port 8080. You then map port 80 from router to 8080 on server.

 

Other thing to check is that your ISP isn't blocking the port. Many will block common ports by default. You just log in to their portal and turn the blocking off.

If you're interested in a product please download and read the manual first.

Don't forget to tag or quote in your reply if you want me to know you've answered or have another question.
