Trouble port forwarding in Bell Home Hub 3000?

Sounds like the modem side is setup properly (and should work :haha:)

Silly question, but how are you testing? From your phone on LTE? Hotspot? If you have VPN, that would work too. Just want to make sure your traffic is coming in from something external, not just testing on your LAN to your WAN IP. It could be that the Bell router just doesn't do loopback.

Oh... not a silly question at all! I never thought of that. I never had any issues testing that way with my ASUS router. I am testing LAN to WAN. I'll see if I can try something external too. But I did try the actual WAN IP and I tried DDNS via No-IP and configured that on the Bell router. Both with the same result.

Last night I also tried using the Linux box LAN IP as the mumble server address from my main PC, so local to local, and still had no response. So that really made me think something in my Linux box is messed up. That certainly should have worked no issues on the LAN to LAN... I think? No special setup required?

This is such a normally simple set up gone sideways that I am starting to question everything now! :haha:
 
I tried looking into this a few years ago with the older Bell modem/router for Fibe and decided that setting up a Discord server was a lot easier as I don't necessarily need my team chat to be working without internet as without internet some of the games we play won't work.

Years ago, back in my WOW days, I looked in to setting up a Mumble server as well.

Arinoth is right; Discord is way easier and feature rich. Save yourself a lot of grief.

I've run my own Mumble server before, on a different service provider with my own router gear, and it worked fine. It's simple to configure, aside from this network part obviously lol and has a nice simple clean client interface that just gives us organized chat, which we like, without extra stuff. Plus the voice quality is excellent. But I am beginning to suspect the Bell gear less, and that perhaps this is some oddity in my set up.

As a stop gap I am using a hosted version of mumble, and it only cost like $9-$16 for 6 months to a year. So running my own server isn't a necessity but you do get a nice super low ping since we're all talking in a small geographical area. Plus having your own server is a nice little project... when it works.

I did see Arinoth come up in some of my google searching for this issue with Bell gear. Figured it must be you! What are the odds of more than one Arinoth out there? ;)

My port forwarding issue had to deal with the Windows computer not seeing the port open because in Windows 10 if you disable the firewall it doesn't open all the ports, it keeps them closed, unlike in prior Windows versions.

That's what I figured JD. Thanks again.

Thanks for the input all. I will shelve this thread for the time-being until I fully check out my Linux box. When I get it figured I'll follow up. Going with "when", not "if" ! ;)
 
I know this is an old post, but I've been having issues with portforwarding a few ports. ie 22 and a port for votifier for my Minecraft server and for ssh access to the Linux server hosting the Minecraft server. Have you been able to find a fix?
 
Having the exact same issue using port 22. I've been able to forward both 443 and 80 on the same server and they work perfectly.

Had to open 2222 to 22 on my Linux server. Worked perfectly when I had a HH2000.
