Port forward using netsh.exe is not working
Hi guys,
I want to enable port forward on a windows 7 machine using netsh.exe.
IPv6 is enabled.
Firewall is disabled.
I want to redirect traffic from the port 2372 (all interfaces) to 127.0.0.1:2372 .
Actually I want to access to a web service running on 127.0.0.1:2372 from another host on the same LAN.
So I am running as admin cmd and then I am using the following command:
netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenport=2372 connectport=2372 connectaddress=127.0.0.1 protocol=tcp
netsh interface portproxy>show v4tov4
Listen on ipv4: Connect to ipv4:

you can't use 127.0.0.1 address, it's loopback,
use 192.168.0.1 or similar address
and your LAN must be on same subnet
use 192.168.0.1 or similar address
and your LAN must be on same subnet
or you can use listen address
example
netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenaddress=10.255.255.1

I had already tried your command without any result.
@M3rc74
Yeah, I was afraid that I couldn't use 127.0.0.1 even if I wanted to use it exactly that IP.
What if :
netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenaddress=172.16.XX.XX
It doesn't work too. Is this a loopback again?
So what should I do,in order to access that web service from another host? It is running on 127.0.0.1 interface and I cannot change its configuration.
Installing third party software is the only option?

try
netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenaddress=172.16.XX.XX
and then
netsh interface portproxy>show v4tov4
netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenaddress=172.16.XX.XX
and then
netsh interface portproxy>show v4tov4
i'm thinking
you can add on that interface secundary IP address: 127.0.0.1

netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenport=12345 listenaddress=192.168.1.1 connectport=443 connectaddress=192.168.1.1
is the service in fact listening on the port 2372 if it is then you shouldn't need the portproxy as it is a non standard port and the listen and connect ports are the same. In my example I remapped https to another port for a service that handles these requests.
The client must access the web service via 192.168.1.1 (in my example)
It sounds like you need to map from localhost on the client machine to the machine that the service is running on.

Actually there is no need to use a different port. I want to use the same (the original) which is 2372.
I have tried both versions and none worked.
My web service is running by default on 127.0.0.1:2372 .
My network interface has the IP 192.168.1.1 .
I just want be able to access the web service using 192.168.1.1:2372 .

Do you know any software that could run as a service and help me on that?
Nothing going through the loopback adapter goes out to the Internet, or leaves your system. The loopback adapter is completely contained within your system.
You must have some options to change this, is there an *.ini file or something to edit listening address?

if the service is running on your computer then from elsewhere you would need to use the netsh port forward on the other computers to access the service.
