NightstalkerNOR Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Hello. I am trying to open port 10308 via the Cisco router. In the "Application and gaming" section I keep getting an error when trying to port forward, saying "IP XXX.XXX.X.XXX is invalid". Anyone have any great ideas to make port forwarding possible?

NightstalkerNOR Posted May 19, 2020 Author Share Posted May 19, 2020 The issue has been solved. I've recently purchased a D-Link Covr wifi system for my home. The extremely simple way of explaining is that the link system communicated on a different net than the actual supplier net. The Covr "changed" the IP settings to its own address, feeding my computer with a "wrong" IP address. The one I was supplied with was something like 192.168.100.XXX, while the actual supplier IP is 192.168.0.XXX The solution was to access the Covr IP-settings and find the actual internet supplier IP address which had 192.168.0.XXX, since the one that was fed into my computer was invalid and provided by the Covr system. I entered the actual IP address into the port forwarding in the router. The port seemed to still be closed. However...there is a "port forwarding" function in the Covr system that can be configured. It opened the port. I am not exactly sure if setting a port-forwarding rule in both the router AND Covr system is necessary, or if its only needed in the Covr system, but anyways...it now works.
