Port forwarding fail

[Grizzy2]

I have been trying to use port forwarding on my new fios g1100 gateway.

I have done this in the past and it was always simple. I have tried many ports.

First I setup my computer with a statc address which ends in .50

I set DHCP to start numbering at .60

I can see the computer fine

checked ipconfig and the number is OK

go to advanced and make port forwarding rule.

tcp enter same number for local and remote

UDP do the same

go to firewall click port forwarding enter the computer and the rule

list shows the rule fine

I go back to my computer(windows 7)

Windows firewall is off

and the program can't access the ports

I try port checker  NG

I go back to the router and open DMZ for my machine.

port checker can access both ports OK

I asume from this that the problem isn't in my machine but the router?

switch off DMZ and the ports are blocked again

**bleep**

tried with many 4 digit and 5 digit portsalmost up to the numerical limit

Any Ideas

Hello, can you please post a screenshot of your firewall rules?

This does sound like an issue with the router's firewall and not your computer's.

Here is a screencap of port rules from the firewall group

The computer I am trying to forward to is the top listing ending in .50

A couple of things.

#1 UPnP is on in the router and I would advice turning that off.

#2 Rules should be TCP / UPD Any -> and then port number.

For example rule two (the one after port number 4567) should read:

To 192.168.1.50, emule, TCP Any -> 1563 and UDP Any -> 3689
