Title: Cannot open port 6260
Post by: cornelle on January 23, 2010, 01:36
I am running windows xp, firewall on with port 6260 open.  I have a dlink 604 router and I have opened up the 6260 port to both TCP and UDP.  Mule says the port is not open.  Any suggestions?  I'm at a loss.

You may need to set up both Port Forwarding and Port masking on some routers.  I don't know that one, but have a look at the settings, and see if there is a place to establish both.

You probably forwarded the ports to the wrong IP.

Well, this can be a little tricky.  In likelihood its not forward to the wrong IP, but from the wrong IP.  Ensure you are translating from you private IP to a public one.  I recommend setting your personal PC to a static IP address instead of DHCP IP, so that it doesn't change every time you have a PC restart, and something else grabs your old IP.
