UPNP fails when play
-
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.

This isn't a problem with UPnP. Mostly likely the static-port issue.

ok then hope someone can fix that. was checking the new smoothwall and tested the upnp and it was working very god all the games i tryd to join worked i join the games with no problem. can,t you just ask them for some help ?
-
You just have to follow the instruction in the link rsw686 provided (which i bet you didnt read…).

no i havent sorry sorry

Yep and SmoothWall uses miniupnpd as well. Try the static port option.
-
does i need to do any thing more after that ?? or should it works fine ?
-
I don't see why it wouldn't work after enabling the static port option. What I don't understand is why you keep saying it doesn't work and then name off other distros. You don't even try the solutions posted or give the information I ask so I can resolve the issue. I have talked with Lawrence, the founder of Smoothwall, multiple times as he created IMSpector. They along with other distros use miniupnpd. The difference is pfSense is trying to be more secure by randomizing the ports.

i have try to do like the page and it working fine now thanks for the god jobb. butt do i need to schange any thing more in pfsenses outbound or can i just lave this page after that ? or do i need to add new rules now when i don,t have auto ?
-
When clicking advanced outbound NAT it auto creates the rule it was using for the automatic outbound NAT. All your doing is editing it and checking the static port box.
-
yes and add to more interfaces right ? to my DMZ and WLAN ??

UPNP not working well for me either, its fully functional on other routers but not pfsense. well, you guys have the better details.. i guess it needs to be worked on somehow. quite a crucial function for a lot of people.

What isn't fully functional with UPnP on pfSense?
