How do I open a range of ports on my VDI-604 or VDI-624 using firewall rules?

The better solution is to create a new firewall rule
in Norton 360

1. Open Norton program
3. Click on setting
4. Click on firewall setting
5. Click on program rule
6. Click on add to create new firewall rule
7. Select to and from ......
8. Click on add port the port
then you can add the specific port
9. Click on next and select apply this rule
10. after finish the firewall rule creation click on move up to till the new firewall t\rule will on top
11. restart the computer

Forwarding Port – If you select 'Same as Incoming port' then all incoming traffic on specified Service is forwarded to LAN server without modifying Destination Port. – If you select 'Forward to another port range' then all incoming traffic received on the Service port (or range of ports) is forwarded to this port or range of ports of the LAN Server. – This field is disabled if action selected is "Block Always". – If you want to forward the traffic to a single port then enter port value in start port and leave finish port empty. – If you want to forward the traffic to range of ports then enter non zero value in finish port and make sure that service record attached to this rule has range of ports and range is equal to that of forwarding ports. – For example if you select Service as HTTP (TCP/80), LAN Server IP address as 192.168.15.10 and Forwarding port as 8080 then all traffic coming from internet on – TCP/80 (HTTP) to this Router is redirected to TCP/8080 port of 192.168.15.10 • WAN Users: These settings determine which packets are covered by the firewall rule, based on their source (WAN) IP address. Select the desired option: – Any All IP addresses are covered by this firewall rule. – Address range If this option is selected, you must enter the "Start" and "Finish" fields. – Single address Enter the required address in the "Start" fields. • Log: This determines whether packets covered by this firewall rule are logged. Select the desired action. – Never - never log traffic considered by this firewall rule, whether it matches or not. – Match - Log traffic only it matches this firewall rule. (The action is determined by this firewall rule.)
Ok well this is out of the manual, to me it seems straight forwards, but it is a brick too though, there is an example to help you, basically you tell it the Address of the PC, (Right click on NIC and get address) that you want ports to go to.. then ALLOW it, UN-disable actually.. in the tables.

Yes, this router have inbuilt firewall to enable the settings follow the below steps
You will need to get the IP address from your computer that you want to open ports to.

Step 1 Open your web browser and enter the IP address of your Nexxtech router (192.168.0.1). Enter username (admin) and your password (blank by default).

Step 2 Click on the Advanced tab at the top and then click Firewall on the left side.

Step 3 Click on Enabled and type in a name for the new rule.

Step 4 Choose WAN as the Source and enter a range of IP addresses out on the Internet that you would like this rule applied to. If you would like this rule to allow all Internet users to be able to access these ports, then put an Asterisk in the first box and leave the second box empty.

Step 5 Select LAN as the Destination and enter the IP address of the computer on your local network that you want to allow the incoming service to. This will not work with a range of IP addresses.

Step 6 Enter the port or range of ports that are required to be open for the incoming service.

Step 7 Select Always for the Schedule or specify a range of Day and time that you would like this rule to be active.


Step 8 Click Apply and then click Continue.

Because our routers use NAT (Network Address Translation), you can only open a specific port to one computer at a time. For example: If you have 2 web servers on your network, you cannot open port 80 to both computers. You will need to configure 1 of the web servers to use port 81. Now you can open port 80 to the first computer and then open port 81 to the other computer.

1. If the port is to be opened for internal people to access the port outside the network, add a firewall allow policy in Firewall -> Access Rules -> LAN->WAN

2. If the port is to be opened for external people to access the port in the network, add a firewall allow policy in Firewall -> Access Rules -> WAN->LAN

I had the same problem.. the router did forward another port for me (port 12345) so i just set the port for uTorrent to 12344 and it magically worked... i'm not sure why but i would try setting the port to a lower range

You will need to get the IP address from your computer that you want to open ports to. Step 1 Open your web browser and enter the IP address of your D-Link router (192.168.0.1).

Step 1 You will need the IP address of the computer that you want to open ports to. How do I find the IP address of my computer? Step 2 Open a web browser and type the IP address of the VDI-604 or VDI-624 in the address bar (default is 192.168.0.1). Press Enter. Step 3 The default username and password is listed below for your version of firmware: VDI-604 firmware 1.05F/VDI-624 firmware 2.39DDM - The default username is admin and the default password is blank (nothing). VDI-604 firmware 1.07 Build 28/VDI-624 firmware 2.43 Build 12 - The default username is admin and the default password is password. Click OK. Step 4 Click the Advanced tab at the top and then click Firewall on the left. Step 5 Select Enabled and configure the following: Name - Enter a name to identify the rule Action - Select Allow Source Interface - Select WAN Source IP Range Start - Enter an IP address or * to allow this rule to apply to all incoming IP addresses. If you are opening this rule to a series of IP addresses, enter the first IP address in the range. Source IP Range End - If you are opening this rule to a series of IP addresses, enter the last IP address in the range. Destination Interface - Select LAN Destination IP Range Start - Enter the IP address that you obtained in Step 1 Protocol - Select the protocol (TCP, UDP, or Both) Port Range - Enter the starting and ending ports that you want to open Schedule - Select Always to apply this rule all the time or Schedule to specify a schedule Step 6 Click Apply and then click Continue to apply the new rule.
