Re: Cox email going to yahoo
Negative. It seems like (according to the document anyway) when you go to yahoo, you sign in with the same info you did here on Cox to access the cox account. IE you sign in with username@cox.net and whatever your password was to access your cox webmail. Alternatively though, I supposed you COULD log into your main yahoo and then just add the cox.net email too.91Views0likes1CommentRe: Port Forwarding
It is indeed working through the router. The ports are STILL coming back as closed when checked through a website and yet the server is now appearing for those I set it up for and can be connected to. Doesn't make any sense to me but I won't look a gift horse in the mouth. Thanks again!47Views1like4CommentsRe: Port Forwarding
The port is reachable on LAN, that much I verified earlier. I also ensured the potential issue with the device IP is taken care of. On that note, however... I'm not sure what happened, as the ports are still coming back as closed when checked. However, I am now being told by individuals that are helping me test everything that the game server is now appearing and can be connected to. It will remain shut off until the times they intend to actually use it. I've been trying to figure this out for days and now all of a sudden it's working despite the indication otherwise. I really don't know what the deal is. In any case, thank you for the support you provided!71Views0likes6CommentsRe: Port Forwarding
Glad to see you're still here providing support. You've helped me immensely in the past! I do indeed still have the MB8600 and I currently have an ASUS AX-3000 for a router at this address. It's strange because this used to function perfectly fine with no issues at all. When I opened ports for whatever reason and checked them, they came back as open. For what it's worth I did also try disabling the router and windows firewalls and even temporarily using the DMZ function within the router to see if that made any difference. Even with all of that the ports were showing as closed. I did also verify my public IP and WAN IP were the same so I suppose I can assume this isn't a CGNAT issue. In any case I did as you suggested and connected straight to the modem, bypassing my router entirely. The ports are still coming back as closed via various port checking websites. I tried again after totally disabling Windows Firewall (private, Public, and Domain) and even then they still show up as closed. Some potentially relevant information: I recently moved to Ohio and utilize Spectrum internet there. I continue to pay for a utilize a Cox account for my parents who are the ones using the MB8600 here in Virginia. Back in Ohio, I was successfully Port Forwarding with the same make and model of router (but not the same EXACT router) and the same laptop I am using now during this visit. Therefor I am at the very least sure my laptop and firewall are not to blame for this issue.778Views0likes11CommentsPort Forwarding
Just out of curiosity, does Cox currently allow Port Forwarding or is it blocked by the ISP? I have opened a number of ports through my third party router and Windows Firewall as necessary to temporarily host a dedicated server for some friends to play a game. It is not the first time I have done this either. Years ago, I would be able to open these ports and go to a website such as canyouseeme.org to verify the ports are open. However, now whenever I check these ports I am being told that they are still closed and my friends are unable to see or connect to the server when it is up. I've tried updating my router's firmware, resetting it to factory defaults, power cycling both the router and modem, etc. I cannot for the life of me figure out why these ports are still showing as closed when the router indicates they are opened and that Port Forwarding is turned on.Solved4.6KViews0likes17CommentsRe: Major Packet Loss and Latency
I have had the same exact problem as you for over a year. Two or three months ago I had a few techs come out to replace house wiring and it solved nothing. I showed them all of the logs proving the issue is at hop 2 but Cox insists nothing is wrong on their end. They won't come out to check the node or investigate a potential plant issue. Months later and I'm still waiting on some sort of solution.14Views0likes4CommentsRe: Extremely bad packet loss and service outages
I am now in contact with the last technicians supervisor in an attempt to resolve this issue. Uncorrectables on the modem page have returned and the late night packet loss is as bad as ever. I also mentioned the information about 10.5.0.1 that I was given to help them narrow down where this problem is occurring, because I know it has nothing to do with my own equipment. Thanks for continuing to help me with this guys.0Views0likes0Comments
