I am trying to open Ports 8096 & 8945 respectively for the Sky Roku NowTV box so I can use Media Browser 3
[tt]Version 3.0.5115.35703
Media Browser Server is up to date
Running on ports 8096 and 8945
[/tt]
I have the TG582n with the latest ADSL Firmware V 10.2.2.B (Without USB)
I have followed all the steps from PortForward/TG582n/Default-Guide and having no luck
I have also D/loaded and installed PortForwards free Port Checker
Result
Ping Result: We were able to ping your router
Port check result: Your port is NOT OPEN or not reachable!
Is there any steps missing or different from the above instructions for the 10.2.2.B Firmware
P.S
I also do not want to open all ports (Please do not direct me to http://npr.me.uk/forwardports.html unless you can help with specific Telnet command(s) to configure the 2 Ports in question, as npr states
Quote Do not be tempted to forward a range of IP addresses, this will break the DHCP.
Therfore I am thinking that assigning single IP addresses will technically be ok to use ?
Edit:
I have managed to get the TG582n to recognise the Roku Box Via

When I go to assign the full IP including the ":" to the DMZ for testing
I get only numbers and "." are accepted box pop up & although it does accept all the IP address prior to the ":" and does enable the DMZ
Is the TG582n really capable of opening single ports ?
Or
Should I give in and try different router(s) ?
I do have some I can test with if need be

Also if this MediaBrowser thing is on your private network (ie not accessing from the internet) then you should not have to portforward as that's only for enabling access from elsewhere on the internet.

If it's any help the following shows how to do port forward with port translation. IMO the important bit is to use DHCP to issue the IP address, do not use a static IP in the devices own settings. Also ensure you don't have the same ports already forwarded to a different device.
You don't need the port translation bit so leave the "to" field blank.

Edit:
Having now looked at http://www.roku.com/
I agree with RPMozley and question the need to port forward to this device.

The Sky Roku NowTV sets its own IP address automatically and no way to manually change it on the unit that I can find
Have had no luck finding where I can add the Roku IP to the TG582n although where I have set the TG582n to always use the Roku IP address
The problem is that the TG582n finds the Roku. however the Roku does not find the Media Browser server installed on PC
And it runs on ports 8096 and 8945 (hence the thinking to open the ports) The Roku box uses WiFi only for the connection
If there is a better alternative way to get them to communicate, then I am all ears
I am interested to learn more in reference to setting the Roku to use DHCP as there I can not locate any options on the Roku to do so
I will await you replies before proceeding further to open the ports

Ive just had the same problem opening ports for my CCTV system. I did everthing that everybody and every web site sugested, and still couldnt get it to work.
then some clever chap on a forum said in my case I also need to put into my CCTV recorder the gateway address of my router. Hey presto this worked first time and all is working ok.
This worked for me. hope it helps, also check your not blocking ports with the auto firewall.

Can you elaborate a bit more especially where to find the correct page(s) in the router
Does your CCTV system ask you to manually enter the server port number ?
The Roku does ask to manually enter the server port number

Sounds like it's the PC's firewall blocking access, try disabling it as a test.
If that gets it working you need to allow those ports inbound through the PC's firewall.

It is definitely not a Windows Firewall issue
I have already ruled out the firewall
And was auto configure when MB3 was installed

this is definitely not a port forwarding issue you have, so you need to concentrate your investigations on the PC itself.

I can confirm that after following npr's link, to forward a single port the issue is now resolved
The Roku BoX automatically found its own path after successfully opening ports 8096 & 8945 respectively
What I was overlooking was to put the 4 digits after the : within the URLBase: http://192.168.1.XX:XXX in the Translate "to" field

port forwarding is only needed for incoming external traffic.

The problem with manually imputing the full server address on both the router & the Roku Box, was the same result as the DMZ where it would not accept the full server address

1) Install app on Roku 3
2) Install Media Browser 3 on PC
3) Setup media Browser 3
4) On Roku start media browser, searched for servers, it found the Media Server
5) In the menu found Movies and selected a M4V file and played it.
It looks like by default the Roku 3 uses DHCP.
So for the Roku 3 to have a static address you need to select 'Always use the same IP Address' in Home Network >Devices >Roku Hostname > Configure

Which Roku box have you got as I got the NowTV LT model number 2400SK version 4.9 . build 8067 version which is limited in what can be done to / with it.
Quote Roku live chat Thu, 1/9/2014 03:36:54 am
Thank you, Sir. I believe that it is not possible to add the Media Browser through NOW TV box since it is not available on the apps/channels supported by NOW TV. We would also like to let you know that you will not be needing a Roku account for the NOW TV since it only accepts your NOW TV account information. We apologize for the inconvenience, but I believe that this a product limitation with the NOW TV box.
For more information with regard to the apps and channels supported by the NOW TV box, you may access this link from the NOW TV website: http://images.now.nowtv.com/We…b%7D_nowtv_box_apps_131204.pdf
Quote 4) On Roku start media browser, searched for servers, it found the Media Server
Did your box do an auto search or did you have to do a manual search ?
Mine done an auto search, and could not find the server
I had already set the router to have a static address & was selected to 'Always use the same IP Address' in Home Network >Devices >Serial number & Mac address of NowTV box > Configure
