Smart Hub 2 Manager Port Forwarding is not working

@licquorice: Yes this is possible but as said I have tried with port 8000 with nc this doesn't worked, I highly doubt non standard port for ssh will work but will give it a try.

Yeah, that's why I deleted the post.

I don't know what else to suggest. Port forwarding to a web server works ok for me on port 80.

If your public IP address is still the same, why is port 8085 tcp open?

Final trace goes to 6 32.00 ms ls192525-bury-healthcare.manchester-naccess1.ukcore.bt.net

before terminating on your host.

Are you a business user?

These results were provided by NMAP.

@Keith_Beddoe: Yes my IP is same and I can see in Firewall someone tired to scan the ports. I have not opened the port 8085 and reading more it looks like this is open by default by the BT HUB.

So to confirm my port forwarding doen't involve port 8085, I am trying to use port 22 and 8000 by port forwarding and it's not working.

I am not a business user, I am using BT Fiber to Home solution.

I use the publicly available NMAP program to identify issues that are raised here, as its the quickest way to get results. Microsoft portquery is another useful tool. No other ports were shown as open.

I do not use a BT home hub, so I do not know what ports are left open. I do know there are reported issues with the BT hubs, when trying to forward ports, and the usual solution is to do a full factory reset of the home hub, and then setup port forwarding rules again.

[Keith_Beddoe]

It odd the way your routing goes via a specific part of the BT network.

Are you sure the ports are not being blocked by the device connected to the home hub?

OS scan gives this result, although it may not be reliable, it may just be seeing the home hub.
