ACIII Web Access - VZ

[Hornet]

I'm having the worst time trying to access my ACIII over the internet. I'd like to think I know a few things about computers and my home network but this thing has been whipping my butt for a few days. Therefore I must be missing something stupid. I started off trying the default port 80 but it seems Verizon is blocking incoming stuff so to keep things simple I just changed my ACIII to a different port.

Currently my ACIII is set to port 3074. I've set up port forwarding on my router to forward 3074 to 192.168.15.40. I type 192.168.15.40:3074 (Address for ACIII) into my browser window and I get prompted to login. I change out the private ip for my public IP 70.x.x.x:3074 and I get nothing. grrrrrrrrrrrr

I've tried forwarding the port on two different model verizon routers and according to the tool I downloaded from portforward.com the routers are forwarding the port. I also went to canyouseeme.org and verified that 3074 can be seen. I'm kinda thinking I may have something jacked up in my controller but that does not make sense cause I can access it fine over my private network. ramble ramble ramble. I can go on and on. If anybody has any words of wisdom I'd appreciate the help.

I'm going to finish my :beer: and go to bed

Try checking the AC3 Gateway setting. It should be the same as your router's IP.

Btw, every time you make a change on your AC3 net settings, you need to do a Net->Net Setup->Restart to have the changes take effect.

Thanks I read through that thread earlier this week. I don't have FIOS but DSL. Although the steps should be similar. I'll read through that thread again and start from scratch. I already have a dyndns account and a no-ip account but I must have missed something.

Hurray it works

Hurray it works

I got it working, funny thing is it was probably working the whole time. When I typed my public ip in the browser along with the port I forwarded it would not work. If I left the port information off and just used the IP it sent me to my router configuration page. Same thing happened with my dyndns address too. I saw some posts in another thread saying to make sure I had remote administration disabled. I verified that was off like 10 tens and even reset my router to default. I finally realized I needed to test my connection from outside of my home network.

I ended up going to a proxy site and testing the connection from there. I was able to pull up my ACIII page from the proxy . Just in case somebody else searches this I used proxvade.com/ to test my connection.
