Port Forwarding for Allied Telesyn AR725

Hi, you may find that opening port 5222 in your router settings corrects this for you. This is due to Google Cloud Print (GCP) needing to poll your printer, if the port is not open then GCP will not get a response from your printer, therefore will show it as offline.

It is also possible that your firewall is blocking communications so you would need to open the same port (5222) in your firewall / antivirus software.

Warning: Ports are often closed on a router to help prevent unauthorized access to your home network. Opening any additional ports on your router may decrease the overall security of your network.

1. To use port forwarding first determine the local IP address of the computer or device you are forwarding the port to.
2. Open your router configuration / settings menu.
3. Once in the router configuration locate the port forwarding settings, often in a section such as Applications & Gaming or Port forwarding. I would suggest that if you are having difficulties with this to refer to your router documentation or call their support line.
4. You will only need to open port 5222.
5. Give your new rule a name that you will recognise.
6. Next enter the port number 5222, if you are asked for Externet and Internet enter 5222 in both.
7. The protocol is TCP.
8. Next is the IP address of the computer.
9. Don't forget to check the enabled box if there is one and save changes.

If you have any issues with this I would suggest Port Forward web site where specific instructions should be available for your router.

You have to go to the router setup page and go to port forwarding menu. Forward means "open" in router terms. So just forward the ports you need so your xbox will be able to communicate to the internet via the router.

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.

you have to TURN ON both FIREWALL AND NAT, and then configure the nat forwarding + firewall rule and then it will work
it's a known bug @ zy boxes

• call your router support to disable first the firewall on the WAN setup
• the do port forwarding
  

What is the IP address of the router? Can you still ping that IP? Try a different computer to access the router.

To ping:
Go to start >run>type cmd
Type ping IP of the router
If you get 4 replies it means it communicate properly

In order to get to the page you need to port forward you need to know your default gateway.
Usually:
192.168.0.1
192.168.1.1
192.168.2.1

Enter those into your web browser, if nothing comes up then go to Start. Then click run(or search if you have vista) type "cmd" then type in ipconfig

Start>Run>Cmd>Ipconfig
There is where you can see your default gateway. Enter that into you browser. I t might ask for a password, it's usually admin.

Also a lot of the port forwarding issues are due to your firewall settings. Make sure you add the ports to there as well.

That is because you need to open a port on router with the same number assigned to your torrent client.

You need to check port number on bittorrent configuration, then access router control panel typing router IP on internet explorer address bar and configure the router to open the port.
