Description of Issue

Cannot confirgure roon ARC. I think I have set a static IP for the ROCK, and set port forwarding (have I done it properly?)
Error code is:
{
“connectivity”: {“status”:“NetworkError”,“status_code”:504,“error”:“error: Error: ETIMEDOUT, response code: undefined, body: undefined connected? undefined”},
“external_ip”: {“actual_external_ip”:“138.aaa.bbb.ccc”,“actual_external_ipv6”:“null”,“router_external_ip”:“null”},
“natpmp_autoconfig”: {“status”:“NotFound”},
“upnp_autoconfig”: {“server_ip”:“192.168.86.1”,“found_upnp”:true,“error”:“<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\” s:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/\“><s:Body><s:Fault>s:ClientUPnPError<UPnPError xmlns="urn:schemas-upnp-org:control-1-0">718ConflictInMappingEntry</s:Fault></s:Body></s:Envelope>”}
}

Thanks In advance!

Tim, welcome to the Community. As it appears you have two routers in your network, have you enabled UPnP on both your ISP router and your Nest mesh system? Alternately, de-activate UPnP on both routers and set up a port forwarding rule using the following guidelines:

  1. On your ISP router, create a port forwarding rule from the ISP router to the LAN IP address of your primary Nest mesh router (looks like it could be 192.168.86.1) using the port number for Roon ARC found in the Settings → Roon ARC tab

  2. On your Nest mesh router, create a port forwarding rule from the Nest mesh router to the LAN IP address of computer running your Roon Core (it should have a number similar to 192.168.2.aaa if the Nest system is using that address numbering method) using the port number for Roon ARC.

If you continue to experience difficulties, please tag the support team and include the following information:

  1. What is the make and model of your modem and router?
  2. Do you have any additional network hardware, like additional routers or managed switches?
  3. Who is your internet service provider and what is your geographic region?
  4. Is your Modem configured in Bridge Mode so that it operates only as a modem or do you have the ports forwarded on both?

Hi Robert. Thanks very much for your help.
I tried UPnP on both, they were both on, no luck.
I did the port forwarding. I had put the Rock IP on the main router not the google nest, I changed it but that didnt work either.
I had previously had a different main router, and the port forwarding had worked, but it has stopped since my new main router/new ISP.

  1. The main router is an ASUS AX6600 XT8, the 'internal one is a google nest with several points connected.
  2. Additional google points as above and several unmanaged switches.
  3. The ISP is Wessex Internet, and I am in the South of the UK.
  4. I dont think so / dont know. I havent set this. I have set the ports forwarding on both devices.

I really appreciate your continued help…hope you can sort this for me. Thanks

@Tim_Watkins, I also use an ASUS router, but have extended it using the ASUS AiMesh system. Can you please post a screenshot of the devices connected to your ASUS router under the ASUS administration page Network Map → Client Devices? You have two routers in your network and I am wondering how they interact with each other and what devices are seen by each router.

Hi Robert, thanks for continuing to help :slight_smile:
Is this the info that you need?


Thanks again

Tim

Hi Robert. Do you have any other suggestions, posted the page I think you needed to see. Thanks again.

Hi @Tim_Watkins,

Please accept our apologies for the long delay.

The initial diagnostic you posted contained a ConflictinMappingEntry trace; this indicates that the port Roon is attempting to use to automatically configure port forwarding for ARC is already in use by another process or program. This might be at the level of your local network: a second upstream router’s Network Address Translation (NAT), a VPN or firewall, or additional software that might use port forwarding can often cause this error.

The error might also be caused by your service provider, if they’ve implemented carrier-grade network address translation (CG-NAT) on your account tier.

Let’s troubleshoot the local network first. Try creating a port forwarding rule in the ASUS router that points to your static IP and port assignment listed in Roon → Settings → Roon ARC. Here’s a guide: How to Port Forward an ASUS Router | Support | No-IP Knowledge Base

Next, enter the web administration page of the Google Mesh router and create an identical port forwarding rule, using the same static IP of the ROCK and port assignment listed in Roon → Settings → Roon ARC.

This will bypass the need for UPnP entirely by specifically dictating the static IP and port number to both routers.

If you still have issues, please let us know your ISP and any updated diagnostics in the Roon ARC tab in Settings. Thank you!

Hi Connor, no probs, and thanks for the continued help. Its complex for someone not that good at networks. I think I have followed all the instructions, but I am still getting an error. The diagnostics are as follows. Any ideas? Thanks Tim
