TCP port number setting

I have 2 computers with Serviio server installed. I would like to have internet access to my library of both computers over the internet.
To do this the router needs to be setup with port forwarding. However, both computers use port 23424 and therefore can only setup one machine for internet access.
It would be great to be able to set the TCP port number.
Thanks

Re: TCP port number setting

Normally it could be possible to setup different VAN ports to map on the LAN ports, like:

1111 -> serviio 1:23424
1112 -> serviio2:23424

Not sure if all routers support this though

Re: TCP port number setting

That's a great idea. I think my router does support that type forwarding.
I will try it out and get back. It will take a day or so.
Even if it works, I think it's a work around and would prefer to be able to change the TCP port.
Thanks

Yep, not all do. My Actiontec C1000A DSL modem will only do port to same port. It's a pretty lousy product, but unfortunately it's the only one my ISP provides for my speed of DSL. Since I'm not giving up my 50 Mbps, I'm stuck with it. :roll:

Re: TCP port number setting

Yes,
1111 -> serviio1:23424
1112 -> serviio2:23424
does work on my router.
Thank you, this is a solution for my problem.

Many routers can do it. However, there's no exhaustive list of them. You'd need to check the documentation for one you are considering to see if you can map a WAN (external, Internet side) port to a different LAN (internal, inside your network) port. As I mentioned, my CenturyLink DSL modem (made by Actiontec or Zyxel) does not support mapping an external port to a different internal port. But many of the consumer grade routers that you can buy might offer it.

Re: TCP port number setting

One option is to add your own router to handle this. My setup is that my provider's router forwards a range of ports directly to my d-link router, my dlink based on the port it receives forwards to the correct server/device on my network. This way the providers router does very little handling and manipulation of the ports.

providers router forwards ports 3000 to 3200 to my dlink
dlink is setup to forwards
3000 -->192.168.1.3:23424 (serviio)
3001 -->192.168.1.4:21 (ftp server)
3002 -->192.168.1.80 (iis server)

etc...

hope this helps
