Have spoken with different people at Spark about this, and searched the forums here. As well as the usual searches.

Getting conflicting answers.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a definitive, written statement that says Spark's Wireless Broadband solutions will or will not support having a Windows Server on the LAN side with clients on the WAN side initiating sessions on port 3389 for RDS , 443 for HTTPS, and 80 for HTTP?

Definitive answer: yes you can have ports open with Static IP on Wireless Broadband.  By default when you request Static IP, the following ports will remain blocked:

 

-tcp port 25 

 

-tcp/udp dest 53 

 

-tcp dest 135->139 

 

-tcp dest 445

 

 

 

If you want any of those unblocked, request port 25 be opened and it will open all of them.

 

The WBB modem does support port forwarding, though you need to apply the settings before it starts working.  I have heard anecdotal evidence that some people have had issues getting it working, but it does work.

 

Hope that answers your question.
