[RESOLVED] Need help port forwarding for private Unturned server (I'm using USO)

[Planr]

Here's the issue.

I've set up the server already on my computer using Unturned Server Organizer (USO). However, I am unable to figure out how to port forward.

The issue is, both my modem and my router are viable routers. The router has UPnP but it is not compatible with USO's UPnP capabilities, so I have to port forward manually.

Here's where the real dillemma comes in:

I have two router webpages I can access, one for my modem, which looks like this, and one for my router, which looks like this. I've tried using the modem page, but every time I put in either my public or my ipconfig ipv4 address for port forwarding, it tells me it is "not a valid ip address" for both. I am unable to find the page on my router control page for port forwarding.

So what do I do guys? How can I fix this problem?

memetario to your assistance

also it looks like your modem is connected to your router so
in your modem go into Connection and find port forwarding then try forwarding the ports manually
also I'd recommend turning off wireless broadcasting of the modem because anybody can get the password for it and connect but you know or turn bridge mode on for it

I already tried manually port forwarding on the modem, and as I said in the OP it doesnt accept any of the ip addresses I put in.

I have to port forward manually.

I have two router webpages I can access, one for my modem, which looks like this, and one for my router, which looks like this. I've tried using the modem page, but every time I put in either my public or my ipconfig ipv4 address for port forwarding, it tells me it is "not a valid ip address" for both. I am unable to find the page on my router control page for port forwarding.

Every IP address I put in on my modems control page for the manual port forwarding is rejected with the message "Not a valid IP address!"

Comcast's routers use a 10.0.0.x IP addressing scheme, whereas every other home router I've seen uses a 192.168.x.x scheme
So if your Linksys router uses the latter scheme, that might be where the "Not a valid address" error is coming in: You may be putting in the 192.168.x.x address that the Linksys router assigned you, but the Comcast router is expecting a 10.0.0.x address.
That'd be my first guess, anyways


Why are you using two routers anyways? There's no good reason that I can think of to do so, and everyone I've seen running such a setup has had a lot of difficulties getting various things to work, especially when the two routers use different addressing schemes.

IMO I'd start with one of the two:
1) Get rid of the Linksys router and use just Comcast equipment
2) Return the Comcast modem and buy your own modem. Make sure it's JUST a modem, not a router/gateway.
Option 2 has the added bonus of saving you like $5 or $10/month, or whatever the monthly lease fee is that Comcast charges you to use their equipment.

Changing the router or the modem is not an option, it's controlled by my dad who listens to no one else's opinion on it besides the cable company.

I need to know what I can do with the setup I already have. There's nothing I can do to change it since it's my parent's house, so I need to work with it.
I've been able to port forward minecraft servers before on the modem and it worked, one of my buddies has helped me do so before. But I have been unable to reach him over the past two days.

Wait for your buddy or post on a specialist networking forum?

well whatever tech is telling you that you should have two routers is an idiot

Anyways, you should be able to set the Comcast unit into Bridge mode. That will turn off all routing features, leaving the Linksys unit to fully handle that.
You'll want the Linksys router plugged in to port 1 of the Comcast gateway, and anything else currently plugged into the Comcast modem will need to be plugged in to the Linksys router instead.

No one's telling us that we should have two routers, we don't really. It's just our modem emits wifi signals like a router does and we can get internet access by connecting to our modem's wifi. But we usually use the router anyway because it has stronger signal.

The modem is located in our laundry room and the router is located in the family room. I can only plug the router in from the wall's internet cable socket.

I'll try turning on bridge mode on the modem.

Everyone else already uses the Linksys router, which is good.

Ok turning bridge mode on on the modem was a mistake. It disabled all the internet in my house. I now have no internet.

Posting this from my phone.

UPDATE: I literally can't even access the modem page now to turn off bridge mode. It says it refused to connect. Help!

My dad is going to be pissed when he gets home tomorrow, we're gonna have to call comcast to come out and fix everything because now all our internet is down and we can't turn it back on.

Thanks headcrab zombie, turning on bridge mode on my modem has destroyed our internet access.

What's your problem? Did you just come in here to be an starfish? I'm trying to solve a problem here that's just exploded out of control.
