UPNP fails when play
-
I looked but I couldn't find it, I believe that dd-wrt is closely related to open-wrt.
I have two dd-wrt routers available, so I may just use one as a wireless bridge to my xbox so I dont have to run another cable. Do you think I would notice a performance boast upgrading my pfsense box from a p2 400 mhz 386 mb ram to p4 2.4 ghz 512 mb ram. The thing is my P4 has a 250 gb hard drive and pfsense does not support samba. If you guys think its worth the upgrade, I might just have my linux box mount the pfsense harddrive using ssh filesystem so I dont waste all that space. Probably not the best but I think I should still be able to stream DVD on gigabit network.

OpenWRT uses miniupnpd as well. What client does DD-WRT use?
DD-WRT uses a variant of the hacked Linksys client.

thanks for the info.
I think that im just going to do the dd-wrt wireless bridged to the xbox with pfsense behind the dd-wrt. I would eventually like to try out a one level solution but the only option I am aware of right now that supports dual wan is the commercial version of clarkconnect. If anyone has a distribution up for recommendation to try, I would appreciate it.
thanks,

Instead of asking for other distributions why not get me the miniupnpd debug info and I'll have to look to see if I can fix it.

I had some free time to look into this. I corrected the code so xbox 360 will not keep mapping additional ports. I implemented a check so if the existing redirect is identical to the redirect request it will ignore the request.
To install this you need to be using a hard drive install or embedded version of pfSense. I am not going to commit this until I finish testing it further and the miniupnpd author patches his source with it. It just becomes too hard to maintain the patches otherwise.
On the console
cd /tmp
fetch http://wgnrs.dynalias.com:81/pfsense/miniupnpd/sh-replace-binary.sh
fetch http://wgnrs.dynalias.com:81/pfsense/miniupnpd/devel/miniupnpd
chmod +x sh-replace-binary.sh
./sh-replace-binary.sh miniupnpdThe md5 returned should match 6d170ae9fa1d5a28a33d6ec00ffca4ac. If it does then your good to go. Let me know if this solves your problem.

Did you get a chance to test it out more?

I have been out of town for the week, I am going to try to get my pfsense box back up and running to test.
thanks,

Ok, I just did the upnp but I am still having trouble. My problem is when I try to connect to xbox games, I have trouble getting into games. I think maybe it is not a problem with upnp.
Do you guys think maybe my hardware is too slow? P2 400 mhz 386 mb ram.
I am able to connect to games easily on my dd-wrt router so I dont think it is an ISP issue, I am going to try plugging my xbox 360 directly into the router without going through any switches and see if that helps.

yes it seems too work but my other computer who is using upnp is not listed any more but i work,s with xbox 360 my friend is not home saw i can,t test it saw much that i want.

Hello,
I am willing to test this. If you need the output of anything, just tell me what I need to do. I learn very quickly so I can get screenshots up or a text dump out no problem. I also have an Xbox 360 connected to live that my Dad plays non stop and he can't connect to games.. but I use pfSense for my home network because it's just amazing.
I applied the patch just 30 seconds ago - I will update you guys on what's happening with it and what not.
Best Wishes

I just committed that latest version of MiniUPnPd RC8 which includes the xbox fix and some other fixes. The snapshots created after the time stamp on this post will have it included.
-
That fix works perfect…
Now.. do I have to reinstall pfSense to keep it updated or how do I go about making it work ?

Nope you don't need to reinstall pfSense. You have basically the newest version of UPnP. There are not many changes made to UPnP now as the bugs were worked out months ago. If you do update pfSense down the road or install a new version it will have the xbox fix included.

Thanks to the pfsense crew for making this product. I've researched a lot of routers and firewalls and this blows any residential gateway out of the water. Personally I like pfsense better than the PIX 515 I manage at work. Understanding the security implications, I never allowed UPNP in my home network until this product which allows me to granularly allow one IP access to UPNP which I can tolerate from just my xbox 360. This thread has been a big help as there were some issues along the way. This has allowed me to utilize the features of my xbox 360 without compromising the rest of my network. Your willingness to work around non compliant functionality is greatly appreciated among your user base and just because we don't always reply, does not mean we do not read and appreciate your efforts. Thanks guys. Looking forward to the 1.2 FINAL release.

but it is still one problem when i is going into a private schat with my friend i can,t join this schat. saw i need to refresh the upnp and after that it works he can only join my schat. but i can,t join the he has create. do some one now some thing about this ? this was working good in the other verison of upnp.
-
This isn't a problem with UPnP. Mostly likely the static-port issue.
