Hello,
I read through at least a dozen existing topics about this, but none were actually resolved.
I'm trying to forward ports for a game.
I have my modem set as a gateway (so it doesn't block anything) connected to a Linksys WRT54G router.
My computer already has a static IP from the router. I set the Port Forward range as normal, including the IP of my PC as the target, check the enabled box, and save changes.
I reload the port forward page to make sure the changes are saved.
I turn off the router (and modem, just in case) for about a minute, then turn them back on to make sure the changes have stayed.
I also disabled UPNP in my router.
I use windows firewall (with Microsoft Security Essentials) and I made sure that the game is allowed through.
My ISP does not block any ports (already verified with them).
And yet, with all of this, canyouseeme.org still sees the ports as closed (or timed out).
I have tried completely disabling my firewall; the ports are still viewed as closed.
I have tried setting my router to DMZ; the ports are still viewed as closed.
I'm out of ideas. Please help.
