Heys

Since i lost my PINK last month and can't order a new one (my ISP blocks port 80), i'm searching for a replacement, wich i can modify the portnumber (above 1024)

Helping hand here needed!

    Well, I don't know if this counts as a "replacement" or not, but have you heard about the upcoming Spinneret Web Server?

    You can read more about it here:

    Can't you just forward it to a different port with your router? something like webaddress.com:8080/index.html then forward the 8080 port in your router to the PINK IP and port 80.

    There is no problem that can't be solved with a suitable amount of explosives!

    Has eod_punk said, surely there is a way to deal with the ports problem.

    The Spinneret Web Server would be a good replacement for PINK, but it is still a work in progress.

    Tell me more about how you use the PINK module. I am interested in learning how customers apply that product and what features they like and don't like and what they wish they had for features.

    The problem i have with portforwarding is this:
    I followed many howto websites, like portforwarding.com and this one: http://www.boutell.com/newfaq/creating/forwardports.html
    In the middle of that page you will find the steps for the SMC Barricade G.
    @ 5: Add an entry with "LAN IP Address" 192.168.2.11, "Protocol Type" TCP&UDP, "LAN Port" 80, "Public Port" 80, and the "Enable" box checked.
    Seems easy but, i don't have a LAN port and Public port field. Only a Service port, just one field where i can enter text.

    Last year i decided to buy another one after some search on the net: A linksysWRT54G.
    At home the same problem. Jut one field, a service port.

    Looks like· i only can forward 80 to 80?

    If you have a WRT54G that is capable of third party firmware, I suspect you can get the router to do anything. However I'm not the expert to tell you. I imagine the idea is this: The router gets a message from the outside world on port XXXX such as www.parallax.com:xxxx. You tell your router to take data on port XXXX and send it to YYYY. So I would guess there would need to be two fields, the incoming and the outgoing - like you wrote, LAN Port (YYYY) and Public Port (XXXX).

    My version doesn't allowed that [noparse]:([/noparse]

    I called a local shop who sells routers, seems that our local ISP (s) are involved in selling those products.
    Maybe i can find a router on the web.

    I don't think you really want to forward port 80 anyways. I think you really want to be accessing your PINK from a different port by adding ":8080" to the address of the web page. In your router forward public port 8080 to local port 80 on the PINK IP.


    **edit**
    Maybe this site will help with forwarding on your WRT54G

    I'm glad you got your port forwarding figured out. Care to share your solutions for others you may be lurking and having similar trouble?

    I have a question about the IPSettup.exe

    When running the first time:

    The NDK-IP settings are wrong
    giving: IP: 192.168.2.127

    I had to modify it to 192.168.0.102 manually

    Using Win 7

    I remember my first PINK settings,using XP where correct.

    Maybe a bug?
