datadiffusion Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) Good old HH3 Type A i'd guess...what a crock of brown stuff https://community.bt.com/t5/Other-Broadband-Queries/Port-forwarding-and-Loopback-DO-work-YMMV/m-p/525363 Just one of the many threads, I have picked up a few HH3 Type B when out and about where customers have switched BB provider so always useful to carry about as it takes 2 mins to swap and sorts the issue Draytek are fantastic but as with swapping the original BT gear to any other router if a BB issue comes up BT blame installer HH5 is 100% , customers can ring BT and request upgrade to HH5, worth looking at equipment on inital survey and recommending its upgraded prior to install Had no idea there was an A and B problem for HH3 (but there clearly is!) just like HH2 - except there didn't BT get forced to do a 100% recall? HH5 is free if customers moan? Yes, wish I'd checked, except, I did just not knowing about the problems I spoke too soon! I have discovered a definate problem with the port forwarding on the BT Home Hub 3B. In general, what wrote in my original posting is correct - it works. But only if you forward a single port at a time. Even more interesting! Will make a few changes when I go back. Thanks for all your replies by the way, its been helpful. So far the customer is chuffed with the camera quality and not too bothered about remote access, as that was never really what they wanted the system for (they have a problem with peoples sat navs taking 4x4s over a closed off road thats been landscaped and footpathed) Edited April 27, 2014 by datadiffusion Quote So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Another thing I have just thought could cause this issue is an incorrect Gateway IP on the DVR. Worth double checking. I can confirm you can find bugs in router firmware, I found with some brands (D-Link is one IIRC) you can have issues forwarding TCP/UDP in the same rule.

I can confirm you can find bugs in router firmware, I found with some brands (D-Link is one IIRC) you can have issues forwarding TCP/UDP in the same rule. Being lazy I did leave the TCP/UDP as 'all' initially, but soon changed it to TCP only. I did check on the DVR and the gateway was 192.168.1.1 so that is correct for an unmodified hub,, isn't it?

james.wilson Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Most hh are 192.168.1.254 what ip address were u using to program the hub?

datadiffusion Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 Most hh are 192.168.1.254 what ip address were u using to program the hub? Sorry thinking of my own, that rings a bell, I think it was that now. I just used bthomehub.home to prog, I am actually certain it did end .254 on the DVR readout.

datadiffusion Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 Went back to site this Am Changed the name from Cctv Dvr to just dvr Changed the port forwarding so rather than one list of 3 ports, it was 3 separate services Avoided using the name Cctv in any of the above No reboot, worked immediately... Ffs bt, what a load of junk. Quote So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
