PORT FOWARDING HELP!! I've tried everything. Attempting to set up port forwarding for Teamviewer, or any app really, to use the wake-on-LAN feature. I have also searched the forums and haven't found anything which has helped.
I have enabled wake-on-LAN in BIOS and Windows and that works over my network. However I want to use it over the internet.
I have an Arris TG1672G router, just an all-in-one from Time Warner Cable but it has all the functions I need.
I have set a static ip for my computer through my router.
I have a DDNS which is configured in the router.
I have set port forwarding to my designated port, 1836, in the router settings.
I have added an exception to allow incoming connections to that port in my Norton firewall and Windows firewall, even though Norton trumps Windows.
I called TWC support and they are at a loss as to why it's not working.
I ran netstat and discovered that port 5556 was listening and tested that and it showed as open from various websites. However once I put my computer in Hibernate or Sleep, the port shows as closed, which a) means some program on my computer is doing it and b) is pretty useless since I need to use wake-on-LAN.
