Unable to access newsserver & mailservers on client PCs using ICS and DW4000

« on: January 19, 2005, 02:30:20 AM »

Hi all,

I am new to this group and am excited about finally finding a forum with some knowledgeable people of DirecWay systems. With that said here is my problem:

Last summer I networked some of my computers together and set up the clients to connect to the Internet via ICS. The computers are all seeing each other fine and all clients are able to browse the Internet via HTTP sites fine. My problem arises when I try to access newsgroups, email servers, or HTTPS secure sites on the Internet. The connection always times out and I cannot connect. I have tried multiple news clients such as NewsRover, Agent, IE, and Netscape to no avail. I also am unable to POP mail in via OE or Outlook. Also HTTPS sites time out including the MS Update site. I can connect to all of these resources fine on my Host PC running DirecWay 4.2.1.10 SP A10. I have been unable to find a solution to this problem. I have had Norton Firewall and now Zone Alarm on the Host but have disabled both of them and also XP firewall as well, so it does not appear to firewall related. I know each of these services have to access via certain Network Ports, but I do not know where to make the adjustments if that is the problem. On the clients browsers, I have Proxy ports manually adjusted to point to the host but I have tried using the same address for all servers under the advanced option of Proxy settings to no avail. I know I must be missing something but I am not sure what??? Can anyone please help? This has perplexed me for several months now. Appreciate any help.

First welcome to the site, I hope you enjoy and we will try and help you. Below is a screenshot in proxy settings do you have secure and ftp and all with the same info?? try this first and let us know....good luck....... of course your settings will be different than whats on this example........ and you may have to tweak the port number for each....are you using port 80,83,87 or what??
Cool

Thanks for your response Microwave! In your question are you asking about my Proxy setting on my Host computer or Clients? My host computer just has HTTP of 127.0.0.1 and Port 83. In the exceptions box, it says to Not use Proxy settings for addresses beginning with 'localhost' (without the apostrophes). As for the clients, the HTTP proxy settings are 192.168.0.1 Port 85. This points back to my Host address. I believe I have tried having them all the same to no avail. If I were to tweak each individual one here, what ports would I use for each service?
Thanks-Jebarr

Well I am not the best about this but I do know some!!!! Well maybe it could be this

127.0.0.1 and Port 83

192.168.0.1 Port 85 They are on different ports and I think inless you have it set in your setting for something like port 83-86 or something that won't work!!! If they are set for same port I should work!!! Also the ports for FTP are 21-23 and the ports for Secure sites I thinkare in the 1000's number not sure on that one!!! Also run this start
run then cmd and type in ipconfig on the host machine and make sure you have it set to the right IP also if these services require outside contact and are not on the network you will probably have to set it up for the outside IP or the one that your ISP provides!!! I am not sure I have problems with my dam router to when it is hooked up with running server they run fine in the network but outside access is blocked also check all of your setting on the router like the Ip filter or the firewall it has and make sure that you have the setting for virtual server right in there and also make sure it is not set to block any services you use!!! Also try if nothing else try to put the host in the DMZ on your router!!!! Also I have almost the same problem and I have not got it working through my router but try all the things I suggested and if they don't work wait for help from someone else because they may be able to help you better thanks alot!!!!!!!!! And alway thanks and welcome to the site enjoy in my eyes this site it better then yahoo msn and all them to gether because of all the cool smart people here thanks!!! And sorry if I misspell but as I tell others I speak three languages sorry!!!

Host: 127.0.0.1 port 83 or 85, 83 is common.
Client: 192.168.0.1 port 85 or 83, 85 is common.

Add to browser exceptions https://*

Should only have http filled in, the rest blank, if the rest are filled in it can cause more problems.

Not much help as I no longer use satellite, but I did use the 4000.

Edit: Also try this http://www.dslreports.com/faq/2022 if nothing else works.

Shouldn't matter on the port, if my memory serves me right.
