I am using Mezzmo for my home network DLNA streamer, since the new updates Mezzmo 5 allows it to be accessed over internet, yet it requires you to forward the correct ports. I have been in contact with there support team yet this router they are not familiar with so they cannot really help.
See the attached images and please let me know what is wrong?
Mezzmos default port is 53168 and I want to port forward this and add port 8080.
Your first rule maps public port 53168 → private port 8080
Your second rule maps public port 8080 → private port 8080
If the server is actually listening on port 53168, then you need to reverse this logic.
dst-port = xxxxx (public port)
to-port = yyyyy (private port)
so you’ll want to map dst-port=53168 to-port=53168
and dst-port=8080 to-port=53168
(unless you’ve changed the server to use port 8080)
Also - does your Mikrotik have the public IP address on it directly, or is it behind another router that is also doing NAT? If so, then that router must also map the ports to your Mikrotik’s WAN address.
Lastly, make sure that your filter’s forward chain allows these connections
e.g.:
chain=forward connection-nat-state=dstnat action=accept
Hi Zerobyte,
Thanks for the help yet I cant seem to figure it out.
What must I fill in for these names? (using Winbox now by the way).
I also changed my Mezzmo port to 8080.
See the screen shots added.
Thanks.
