By latest I mean 1.01.7 ...
When I bought my WAG54G I had firmware 1.01.5 - I may be going back to it if
someone can confirm what I've seen with the latest firmware...
Basically I had setup port forwarding to allow traffic through (TCP) on a
particular port to a particular IP address in my internal network.
I set this up as per normal from the router's web interface and I can
confirm that sites like GRC.COM do show that this particular port is open
but when I try to use the application I need going through that port
(terminal services) it doesn't work. I guess if a port is open I should also
be able to use simple things like telnet to confirm if its working or not?
When I try telnet through this particular port it also doesn't work.
The fact is it used to work and I can't remember if it stopped working after
firmware 1.01.7 was put on.
I also use things like bittorrent and this doesn't seem to have stopped
working although how can I tell with bittorrent? (my rates seem ok and that
I thought was increased if you open up the relevant ports ie. 6881-6889)
