Web scheduling not working with new router.

[justinmiller]

First off I LOVE the web scheduling feature, thanks Sub! Probably the coolest thing about it is, my brother in Korea can log into my machine, and download his favorite shows that I've recorded (and re-compressed) for him. Sooo great!

Anyway, the way I have been doing that so far is to use the web scheduler, and use port forwarding on my Netgear router through my cable internet. The cable modem has always given me the same IP so the connection is consistent. Works great.

Now, I just got this Airlink router, and suddenly I am getting a different IP, and upon login can't connect . No problem right, I just enable port forwarding again, and use that new IP as my web scheduling login, same syntax, just a different IP address (http://ipaddr:7647/gbpvr/login.aspx). However now, I get this error message:

Server Error in '/gbpvr' Application.
HTTP Error 400 - Bad Request.
Version Information: Cassini Web Server 1.0.2782.16257

Any ideas on what might need fixing? I'm perplexed as the only thing that's changed is the router/IP address, but GBPVR is reporting a problem....? Is this router just junk?

Thanks!!!

Maybe there is a firewall in the router which you have to open aswell for that port/program. Have you tried rebooting the system, it could of course be a one off.

Thanks for the suggestions, I tried both and still having the problem. BTW this is an AirLink101 AR430W bought at Fry's (I know, first problem right).

Not related to your problem but you should try out dyndns's free service to get a fixed url for yourself instead of using changing ip addresses.

Haha that's great, I actually just did that in the midst of all this troubleshooting. Thanks!

You are really trying this from another system that is not on your homenetwork? If you are trying from the same system or network: it's possible that your router doesn't support "looping".
