Stealthing Port 113 on D-Link EBR-2310 Router

Bothered about failing Shield Up due to Port 113 reported as Closed?

For most routers, it seems that simply port-forwarding all Port 113 traffic to an out-of-range IP address is sufficent to stealth Port 113. That's not enough for this router.

Two steps are required:
- Port-forward all Port 113 traffic to 192.168.0.250 (that's what I used), and;
- Also define 192.168.0.250 as DMZ.

That'll pass Shields Up for the EBR-2310 Router.

Hope this helps!

 

I have always just forwarded port 113 to itself and that will do it also. At least it will on a Linksys. With my AlphaShield I don't have to worry about that as it stealths all ports.

 

Yeah, I have an old DLink DI-524 and all I have to do is forward 113 to 192.168.0.200 and that takes care of it. Nothing else....
