ViewQwest Fiber Broadband Official Thread - Part 3

Sorry to jump back on the NAS topic. I'm looking to buy a DS415+. Would it work with rtorrent+wtorrent or Transmission 2.03?

 

[HexenHeretic]

As far as i know, there isn't an available 2.03 package available on synology.
Unless u know how to build the package yourself, otherwise you can forget about 2.03

 

[jackycar]

Maybe I can list out all my questions better:

So here are my questions:

- which Synology model is suitable for my requirements? Purely seeding. If I can run any video streaming to my mobile devices that would be a bonus. I have 4x2TB HDDs

- which torrent client should I use that is less CLI and more GUI? Any guides to setup? I specifically want it to work for IPT

- I'm read about the DS415+. Would it work with rtorrent+wtorrent or Transmission 2.03?

- Lastly, would my Asus RT-68U work with the Link Aggregation features on stock firmware?

I'm not familiar with Synology itself but I can guarantee you LAG does not work with the Asus router.

Furthermore you won't see any raw performance increase to your PC unless you also do a LAG to your PC on the same managed switch.

Noted. I should bypass those Dual-port NAS then.. thanks Andrew!

Yes that would be correct.

Reason being based on what you communicated earlier, it would be the scenario whereby Zhone has a DHCP server enabled, and your Asus would have a DHCP server enabled as well.

Your portforwarding target is behind your ASUS.

So in this case, you need to configure your zhone to portforward the request for that PORT(e.g 21 for ftp) to ASUS, so ASUS would then handover the connection to your end device behind the Asus.

However, you can do without all those fancy problem by just calling in to NOC and telling them you want to configure your Zhone as bridge mode and provide the MAC address of your ASUS to them

Ok called viewqwest and apparently my zhone is already in bridge mode and single NAT not dual NAT. Tried switching off firewall and everything on router and PC for testing I still get "Connection Refused" any idea what seems to be the problem, something so simple yet giving me such a headache

What app are you forwarding, and what port/protocol?

Actually its one of the first ports I'm testing to port forward before I go ahead and start running more stuff on my server. Its a simple game I'm running on Bluestacks which is called Bomb Squad, its a game on android and to host it you have to forward 43210 UDP.

Basically if this works then I'll know I can go ahead and try other stuff but now first step is already a fail.... Keep being blocked.

u could get NOC to teamviewer in and help u set it up.

Teamviewer to phone??

I don't think there are any UDP port testers. In any case, you can try DMZing your phone IP. If that still doesn't work, it could be phone/app issue liao

Btw are you sure you only need to forward UDP port? UDP is connectionless. You shouldn't be seeing connection refused for UDP forward, only timeout message.

Connection refused generally points to a TCP port being blocked.

Would suggest you double check the documentation that came with your game.

No no, its not running on my phone like i said I'm running Bluestacks which is an android "emulator" on PC so its running on my PC.

I'll try do both then. Thanks ^_^

Hmm you sure your android emulator is passing through networking as expected? It might have a NAT. What IP address do you see on Android? Is it the same IP as your Asus LAN?

Now that you mentioned, it does show a different local IP from the static IP i've assigned. But external IP is the same.

When i use yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports & canyouseeme.org both report Connection refused... I've done both UDP and TCP so I have yet to test with the game itself until you mentioned about IP's being similar, I'm just testing if the port is open or not.

Now I think your emulator is another source of NAT to check also… haha. You might have to see if you can bridge the emulator network.

bluestack is PC LEH
