Question Having trouble opening ports thru two routers

[Kane2103]

*Edited* Prob not the best info to have floating out on the web.

I am sure I forgot something, please let me know if I did. I have a better understanding of networking than the average user but this has me stumped. I think I read something where I might have to seperate the networks, ie. 192.168.0.x and 192.168.100.x for forwarding to work?

Your connection is correct (LAN to LAN), but Linksys has become an AP , not a router. You don't do any port forwarding on Linksys AP.

You only need to do port forward on UBee router to 192.168.0.15, and configure firewall on you PC so the required ports are allowed to pass.

No idea whether it's UDP or TCP ports that's required to open. I don't play games. Try either types or open both types.

Alright will give it a shot, thanks. Believe one is UDP other is TCP (Rcon). * Couple of Old guys on here it seems, 2007 join date for both of us, nice *

Still blocked. Disabled Win10 Firewall for test.

Have you followed the instruction here?
https://www.rustafied.com/how-to-host-your-own-rust-server

And have you tried forward both TCP and UDP ports on 28015 and 28016?

 

[Kane2103]

Yes, That link was a big help getting the server going. I'll tinker with UDP and TCP. I just disabled NAT on 2nd router just for shits and giggles and still same.

Your Linksys AP (switch + wifi) does not play any role here except connect your PC to the network.

You might get more help by asking/moving your question to PC Games subforum.

Ya, I might take a peek over there. Thanks for your suggestions however, appreciate it.

Linksys setup should follow "router as a wap" guides. Disable firewall, DHCP, etc..

All the port forwarding config should be in ubee.

Using Wireless Routers (or Modem/Wireless Router) as a Switch with an Access Point - http://www.ezlan.net/router_AP.html

Think I might grab my laptop, throw the Rust Dedicated server on there and Start with the R1 (Ubee CableModem/Router/switch/access point 🙂) and see If I can get the port (28015) open from there and work my way back.
