PortForward
Questions & Answers

Hey Beyond L., Generally speaking forwarding to multiple xbox ones using a single external IP address is impossible because they both require the same port. You should be able to forward to an xbox and a playstation at the same time with no problem. However, getting a port forward through a satellite ISP is not usually possible. You may want to contact your ISP and ask if they support incoming connections. Most do not, but it's possible that yours does. Further complicating things, while Mikrotik router's are amazing, they are quite possibly the most difficult router to work with. I used to have one myself when I had a wireless ISP and it took me quite a bit of work to get it to do what I wanted. Mikrotik router's are much closer to "real routers" than your standard home office stuff like DLink and Netgear, and as such they have some pretty advanced options. We have never been able to add PFConfig support for Mikrotik, but we have managed to setup some forwards manually in them.

Start by running our Double Router Detector. If you have 2 routers then you are going to have to either forward both of them or turn on the DMZ in the one closest to the Net. After that you can try creating a fake port forward pointing at your PC. Use port 1000 TCP and point it at the IP address of your computer. Then use our Port Checker to see if port 1000 is open. This will test if your router has a firewall or if your ISP is blocking something.

Please use the Message System on our site. You can get there through the software, or by clicking Support on our site. Once in the Message System we can help you get it working.

That's what we do. Start with our port checker first, which is free. If the port is closed then purchase the software and use PfConfig to open it. If you have any problems then Allen in support will walk you through the steps and make sure that your port gets opened.

We can most likely add support for it. Use our support system and Router Screenshot Grabber to get support added for your router.

Unfortunately because of the way Xbox live works it is generally not possible to get Open Nat on 2 Xboxes at the same time. Sometimes it can be done by forwarding 3074 to the first Xbox and 3075 to the second, but it does not always work. The only ways to have both Xboxes have Open Nat at the same time is: - purchase a second external IP address from your ISP (monthly fee) - put one of your Xboxes on a VPN, such as Private Internet Access (monthly fee) - forward 3074 to one Xbox, and 3075 to the second Xbox (free, not always effective) - forward 3074 to one Xbox, and put the second Xbox in the dmz of your router (free, slightly more effective, but still not guaranteed) So short answer is no, our product will most likely not work for you. It will help with the port forwarding, but it will not do the DMZ, and neither is likely to work.

If you mean that you are going to disable DHCP on the router's and have a single gateway, then yes. If you are going to have 3 gateways then you'll have to either: - double port forward (setup the forward in multiple routers in a row), or - DMZ the inner router inside the outer router In either case our software can help you, but it will be difficult to maintain. There are almost no good reasons to segment a home LAN, and there are many bad side effects.
