I have a Westell A90-750018-07 router and I need to set up port forwarding for port 9001 and 9030.
My router won't let me do it however, saying:
*Invalid End Port value of NULL Please enter a valid number*
when I attempt to do so.
I entered 9001 in the *Global PortStart *box and**the other empty boxes on the setup page are *Global PortEnd *and *Base HostPort.* What values do I put in the Global PortEnd and Base HostPort boxes????* * TIA.

If your router's config works anything like my Thomson one, you probably need to put 9001 in Global PortEnd (so it forwards ports 9001-9001, i.e. just the one port) and 9001 in the Base HostPort, meaning that it should forward incoming connections on port 9001 to port 9001 on the machine running your relay. (This style of configuration interface allows you to do other, more complex, stuff like, say, forwarding incoming ports 1234-1240 to a block of ports on your PC starting at 7654, for example - you would set Global PortStart to 1234, Global PortEnd to 1240 and Base HostPort to 7654.)
You may have to add a separate service for port 9030 if the router doesn't allow you to have more than one port range for a single service.
Hope this helps.

Hi Stephen and the group,
I think the error mentioned earlier is not significant.
The router says it's firewall setting is running without any protection being provided, which means no ports are blocked.
However, when I try to run a relay, it does not work.
Below is the message file, which shows the failure mode.
I do run the ufw firewall, but I disabled it (sudo ufw disable) so the ufw firewall shouldn't be blocking any ports either.
I'm at a loss-
I am running Xubuntu 12.10 in a homebuilt (late model) Asus motherboard with lots of ram and an FX6100 processor.
Are there any other parameters or settings to look at/check??

Hi Art,
Even if your router's firewall is not blocking anything, you probably still have to forward ports to bypass the router's NAT.

tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
Lance is correct, unless you have the router running in bridged mode giving your internal machines a valid external IP address it will be running NAT and thus nothing is accessible from the outside without a forwarding rule. It almost invariably will not be in bridged mode unless configured that way separately so if you arn't sure what that is then you will no doubt need the rule.
I still can't make the relay function work, I'd really like to contribute by participating as a relay.
I believe my router's port forwarding is set up correctly. My ufw firewall is disabled. My router shows port forwarding set to the proper IP address for my computer and there is an entry for port 9001 and port 9030, which are custom entries I set up for Tor.
I have screen captures for the router pages showing details of the router port forwarding setup, but probably shouldn't send them via the list as attachments. I'll email them to anyone who would like to see them, please send me a request OFF-LIST.
TIA,
Art

Hi Art,
Even if your router's firewall is not blocking anything, you probably still have to forward ports to bypass the router's NAT.

Lance is correct, unless you have the router running in bridged mode giving your internal machines a valid external IP address it will be running NAT and thus nothing is accessible from the outside without a forwarding rule. It almost invariably will not be in bridged mode unless configured that way separately so if you arn't sure what that is then you will no doubt need the rule.
