What am I doing wrong?

Just noticed in the first picture that you're setting a Static ARP address?  Why?  That is NOT the same thing as a Static IP address.

You should not have to do that.

Hey, that is a stupid error on my behalf.

I have removed ALL references to IP assigning under the static ARP area etc and have restarted.

I then performed a Firmware upgrade on my Router (Billion 7404VGPX).

Then, reset (again) the MBL, so all NW and Password settings removed.

1. Setup Static IP (in proper location!) on the router

2. Setup Static IP under Network Tab in MBL.

Checked that it has been assigned, and that the Internet Connection under the Network Tab in MBL as Good. So far all good.

3. Then went into router, and setup Port Forwarding. I used 80 / 443 and 80 / 443 initially.

4. Rebooted both router and MBL (necessary?? no sure) and still said FAILED under Remote Access

5. Changed the settings to 8080 / 8443 and 80 / 443 on the Router, 8080 / 8443 on the MBL

6. Rebooted both router and MBL (necessary?? no sure) and still said FAILED under Remote Access

7. Then reversed the settings in the router, in case I got them the wrong way around.

8. Rebooted both router and MBL (necessary?? no sure) and still said FAILED under Remote Access

I have tried everything and have had a heap of help from you all - THANKS.

Shame it is now not doing what I bought it for - I need it to stream to iPad etc.

I will have to contact retailer to see if I can return it...... not sure  

Thanks again everyone.

The 7404VGPX supports UPnP. 

Why not just enable that, and use AUTO on the MBL?

[njclifford]

What do I need to do for this?  I have alse read that WMM needs to be enabled on the Wireless option under the router?

I checked Device Management and the UPnP is on, port 2800.  I deleted all Port Forwarding stuff on Router, and set the Port Fwd on the MBL to AUTO.

Restarted both, still says FAILED under the Remote Access area. On the PS3 I am getting a DNLA (2006) error also. 

The Internet Connection under Network is still GOOD though.

I am at a loss in what I can do. Am sorry about this and very grateful for everyones help

My only suggestion at this point would be to see if you can cart your MBL over to a friend / neighbor's house (that might have a different brand of router) and see if it works there....

Doing a quick google, it's not hard to find people that are having problems with that Make / Model of router you have, but who knows...

Thanks all for your help - I heard another thing about ISPs blocking this stuff, so went into ISP Toolbox and Port Blocking was enabled, posts blocked included 80 Inbound and 443 inbound

So, I turned this off, waited and still no success.

One thing is now the Dashboard does not work from the Quick View, but I CAN get to it via IP Address.

Anyway, will take to mates and try.

Thanks again everyone.
