ok, something else is blocking things, just like you said. The fun part is trying to find out what!

Can you get a screen shot of the virtual server page?
I forget, (just so we cover all the bases) did you give this a read yet?

In reply to Headaches with huawei E960:

I'm pretty sure the ports are not being forwarded, I can see that red cross sign on Utorrent and the speeds are just very low.

OK anyway i ran the status checker tool and its giving me an error which says the ports are offline and cannot be reached.

Hey thanks for the response!

Yes they are nowhere seen in the virtual server list which has put me scratching my head for hours after doing everything completely right.

Did update the router just like you said after disabling the silent mode and surprisingly there no types of scrips errors there aswell.

Don't you think there is something to tweak in the security section area which may be the source of ignoring the ports ?

Here is the script(after disabling silent mode):

In reply to Headaches with huawei E960:

You say they are not being added? so when you check the virtual server screen they are not in the list?
hhmm ok maybe there is a script error we are not seeing. Under the advanced menu turn off silent mode (this hides and script errors or msgboxes from the webpage)

Then try to update the router again and see if something gives us an error.

I am upgrading the forums next week so users can upload screenshots and such.

What router do you have?

In reply to Port Forwarding with Zyxel Modem:

"Is it possible that my ISP is making it so I can't forward ports despite what I do with my modem? And is it possible that the modem is malfunctioning? I know it's a cheap/free crappy modem, but I would imagine it should at least get the job done..."

the answer is yes. But finding out if they are or not is the hard part. I have helped a few people who where in another country (cant remember which) where they only had one isp. there WAN ip address never matched there internet IP address, Turns out the isp has everyone behind a proxy (a router for all there users in a sense) and if you wanted out you had to pay more.

Other isp's such as cell phone internet and such are on a different kind of network and there is no port forwarding options period. So it really does depend on who your isp is and what kind of internet you have.

Now in this case you said you have Embarq, they are in my town as well. I don't know much about them except they are dsl here.

Do me a fav and close utorrent, then open my simple port forwarding program. Under tools have it add the ports to the windows firewall, then run the port tester in my program as well.

My program opens and listens on the port for you (this is why I have you close utorrent) and run that test. There has been times where the port had to be added to the windows firewall in order for port forwarding to work, it all depends on the system at times.

So far after that sounds like you have covered all the bases. By chance do you have more than one computer? great way to test if it is something with your system is to port forward a port to another computer and see if it works. if it does then you know the problem is on your system, if it fails as well then we know to look at the router.

Thanks for the quick reply.

In reply to Port Forwarding with Zyxel Modem:

Thanks for the quick reply. And yes I did find that article already. I'm not behind two routers, I don't have a firewall, etc. All the common things I've take care of. And I did find another post about "uncommon" and strange fixes for people having similar problems, and none of those have worked. Is it possible that my ISP is making it so I can't forward ports despite what I do with my modem? And is it possible that the modem is malfunctioning? I know it's a cheap/free crappy modem, but I would imagine it should at least get the job done...
