ZTE ZXV10 W300: port forwarding

[Qeeet]

Good day to all.
I'm struggling now with port forwarding. I have ZTE ZXV10 W300 router. Getting internet through PPPoE/PPPoA, ADSL.
No matter what I tried I cannot open custom port, however port 80 is open.
Router's/pc's Firewall is disabled. UPnP enabled/disabled, restarting router after one change done. I spent a lot of time to this.
In the windows 7 resource manager FAForever.exe shows up with ports. IP address of pc matchs with IP address in NAT table.

The question is am I doomed? Is this fixable at all? Did I miss something?

Well, I'm still able to play some games. But it takes a lot time to find that game

your modem has a pretty nice manual , if you google it, you will find it under "manual-1070.pdf"

anyway, ok, to correctly forwarded the ports required for FAF , you need to ensure two things:

ensure that your computer local IP does not ever change
add a routing rule of UDP 6112 to your local computer IP

FIRST forward the port

access your router, login
(1) go to TOP menu Interface Setup
you have there the ATM VC, then you have the PVC's summary button, press it
check what PVC you have the PPoE connection, default is PVC1

(2) go to TOP menu Interface Setup -> LAN :
I suposed your DHCP is Enabled, and your Starting IP address is : 192.168.1.2
check the value of IP Pool Count, default is 32, note this number, you will need it



(3) go to TOP menu Advanced Setup -> NAT :
Choose the PVCx , where x is the one that had your PPoE connection in step 1 , select it
Click on Virtual Server

select protocol UDP
Start port number : 6112
End port number : 6112
Local IP address :
from the DHCP starting address we have 192.168.1.2 (use the value you read in your router above)
from the pool count we have 32 (use the value you read in your router above)
so its 192.168.1.35, so lets give it : 192.168.1.40
press save

Now your router is configured

SECOND: for your computer local IP never change
You now need to ensure that your computer IP is 192.168.1.40

to do that, go to Control Panel -> Network and Sharing -> Adapter Settings
double clic on the adapter your are using
click properties

WARNING after this step is made you will loose internet connectivity for a second or two

go to IP Version 4 Protocol, double click
select Use the following IP address :

IP : 192.168.1.40
Mask : 255.255.255.0
Gateway : 162.168.1.1 (this will be your router address, change it according)

DNS, if it does not allow you to use automatic, you can use or the router gateway address or, something like OpenDNS:

Server: 208.67.222.222
alt. server : 208.67.220.220

press OK, wait a bit, and you are done

have fun

NOTE: if you move your computer to another location, you might want to go back on your adapter settings, so just take a note of what you did there, and how to go back

Thank you the input, but I feel like you didn't read the problem I described and what I did to resolve it.

PS: I tried with fixed ip's. Want to add, I'm not dumb at networking and stuff.

ok, so, I did read what you did, and sorry about my english but, I don't recognize it as a good policy
so, in other words, I would do what I writen and not what you done...


about testing the port forward, the tools you used are not correct, not even close..


you need a port listener and a udp packet sender, udp does not allow delivery ACK, so, its kinda of blind

what you need is https://packetsender.com/download for listen to the UDP packet
To do that, close FAF, start packetsender and just configure the udp server to listen to port 6112 ( File -> Settings -> Network -> Enable UDP server -> port 6112)

go to https://pentest-tools.com/network-vulnerability-scanning/udp-port-scanner-online-nmap type your external IP, wich is in the title bar, then use range setting, 6112-6112 and press Start

you will receive the packet in packetsender if your conn is properly set

hope it helps, good luck

Thank you.
I just did what you said. I can receive udp packets.
I can play games, however some hosts kicking me because of no connection between me and some players.

Yea, but that port checker is checking through tcp, since I forwarded all protocols on the router for 6112 port, it should work.
