Some will only block 25, others "known ports", some others everything except those "known ports" and then others just about everything. Some will block external access to most ports. If the port forwarding on the router is configured correctly, it is probably your ISP. Just it seems the only thing left for me to try for this Port Forwarding thing. But then at least the router's address will agree with what the modem is trying to set.Īgain, that difference has never been a problem in the past for any network or Internet activities, using P2P stuff like Teamviewer, etc. That is a pain as I have 30 or so devices on the networkI have to change the IP's on and reset all the static assignments for as well. Unless someone can see something else, I am left with resetting my local LAN to match what the dang Megacable modem is trying to force my router to, ie set my router address to the 192.168.0.xx address. But it is consistent which is what I am looking for.Īs I understand port forwarding, from the internet, someone should be able to simply type in the 200.66.xxx.xxx:8181 and if my port forwarding is setup/working correctly, they should see the Calibre Server login screen. This has not varied in 6 months, so it is almost as good as a static assignment. My external IP at any IP check site is my normal one assigned by Megacable: 200.66.xxx.xxx. The octet difference is why I asked the question about the ISP modem somehow not letting the requests through because they think it is a. Yes, the IP for the PC the Calibre Server is running on is set STATIC. It must be something simple I am missing, LoL.

Is it possible the ISP modem is somehow blocking things because it is using a different IP for the router? I have so far discounted that because this setup, w/o port forwarding, has been going fine for years, although the Linux install is fairly new. My setup is through a Megacable ISP modem > Asus RT-N16 Tomato 1.28 based router.Īny thoughts on where the problem could be?īut those setting are different than my LAN settings which are: I then just just turned on full DMZ in the router for the Linux PC IP address. Then using a web based testing site, I tested my external IP address and port 8181, but it says it is closed. I have setup port forwarding in the router to forward to 192.168.5.xxx:8181, which is the static IP address of the Linux PC.

The problem does appear to be how to set up port forwarding so the server can be seen from the Internet. I can also log in using another PC on the local network, so that part appears ok.Īnd, using netstat, I can see that port 8181 is "Listening" The Calibre-Server appears to work great, and I can test it using Port 8181. Trying to setup port forwarding so I can share the my library.

#Calibre server port fowarding manual
Ok, have the latest manual bin install of Calibre on Mint Linux. Hopefully this is the right subsection for this topic? I realize this is not a 'router' oriented site, but perhaps some of you have gone through similar issues getting the Calibre-Server to work and have some tips!
