I am very much a newbie when it comes to this networking stuff, so this question might be very dumb, but I simply haven't found the answer anywhere.

I am able to open ports on my local router with this great miniupnp tool, but the external IP it returns seems to be the one my modem is giving my router. I can use this external IP port combination to connect back to my machine once the port has been opened, but I can't use it with my "outside"/internet ip. Is there a way to "chain" these upnp commands so I can open up my modem, or how are you supposed to get through there?

Example:
Code:

C:\Users\Stuffe>C:\Users\Stuffe\Desktop\upnp\upnpc-shared.exe -a 10.0.0.25 80 80
 TCP
upnpc : miniupnpc library test client. (c) 2005-2014 Thomas Bernard
Go to http://miniupnp.free.fr/ or http://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/
for more information.
List of UPNP devices found on the network :
 desc: http://10.0.0.1:5000/Public_UPNP_gatedesc.xml
 st: urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:InternetGatewayDevice:1

Found valid IGD : http://10.0.0.1:5000/Public_UPNP_C3
Local LAN ip address : 10.0.0.25
ExternalIPAddress = 192.168.1.11
InternalIP:Port = 10.0.0.25:80
external 192.168.1.11:80 TCP is redirected to internal 10.0.0.25:80 (duration=0)


Now I can use 192.168.1.11:80, but not my "internet ip"[/code]

It looks like you are in a NAT over NAT setup. UPnP is NOT designed to work in such setup.
Why are you using 2 routers ?

I guess you ADSL/cable modem is including a router.
1) Either remove the 2nd router from your network and connect your computers directly to your modem/router
2) or configure your modem/router in "bridge" mode to remove the router function, so you can add your additional router.

Alright thank you miniupnp.
Do you happen to know roughly how many % of internet users out there are on a similiar configuration where they can't use UPNP directly? Im developing some hobby software, thats why Im asking Smile

We have a cable modem connected to an separate firewall device, which then connects the rest of the LAN here to the internet. What's the easiest way to determine whether one has a NAT over NAT setup?

Thanks,

Jason

you'll know thanks to the subnet addresses use (RFC1918)
