Windows 7 and port 8866

[ydekmekji]

I can't access NEWA on windows 7. I have allowed port 8866 through my windows 7 firewall and my macafee firewall and my router firewall. heck, i turned off the firewall on my computer and put the pc in DMZ mode and 8866 is still closed. I changed the port on npvr and did the whole thing on a random other port, no luck. I've searched the forums and I don't even know what keywords to look for. please help.

NPVR -- Latest
NEWA == 1.34
MacAfee Firewall installed
Netgear 3400 router

Is this both internal and external access or just external? W7 firewall has rules for both networks that need to be set. Also external needs to have the router rout the 8866 port requests to the pc hosting on your network.

Yes the router is set to rout 8866. I've turned off all firewalls on my PC and still can't get access... But I have no problem getting access to 5900 for VNC.

Ok.... what isn't happening?

Per your logs you are logging in from external IP and the guide2.aspx is being served....see red highlighting in below pull from your logs.

hmmmm... i see the log saying one thing, but I can't access it... i guess you can go to the webaddress mentioned and add :8866.... it won't open. Portchecking nothing. I've turned off all the firewalls and still no luck. Something keeps blocking. i find myself now obsessed to make this to work.

So you are not seeing anything appear in your web browser at all?

You may want to give fiddler a try and see what all is transpiring.....

You can also just use Chrome.... open it up, hit f12, switch to the network tab in the debug area that is now open and then go to your server via the external address.... you should see all the back and forth between the browser and server.....
