If you're refering to my post, then it's for your exact router, as mine is the same.

It comes up for a different model on www.portforward.com but it's the same method used exactly.

I would say your router is blocking ports.

A ISP do not block ports, so you would need to reconfigure your router settings on:
www.portforwarding.com

There is no Pinholes option in the advanced tab

Thats weird, here's what mine looks like:



Its the same router, Netopia 3347 WG.

ant_moore123

No mine looks nothing like that

Its deffinatley a 3347WG there is no advice for it on portforward.com

Its called NAT on your router.

But the idea is the same you need that port opened.

If the admin menu is stumping you, ring your ISP and get them to talk you through it.

I called my ISP they cant help me they say it is unsafe to do it so they cant over any info i have NAT option but cant work out what to do

ant_moore123

Service Name
Global Port Range

Protocol:

I know what to put in the Service Name and what protocol to select but the others i havnt a clue about

Tried that all ready it just says unable to transmit using UDP port 5730
can you suggest any thing else getting very pissed off at this stage

Can i change the firmware

KdjaCL

When you do it you are restarting the router and confirming the service is started in the admin page?

The router MUST be restarted when you change a service.
