I have noticed that many people are having problems with thier ports showing blocked even though you have them open. I have resolved this issue on my system but it seems my remidy is not helping everyone. I have a hunch on what is going on but need some input to confirm my thoughts. First try out my guide to see if it resolves your issues http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/571041#3467096 . IF not then read on.
This thread is not intended to troubleshoot the isue so please dont use this thread as advice to fix it. I just want to hear from those that are having this problem. I want to know a few things about your internet connections so I can find similarities.
If you are passing by and read the posts in this thread and see something that matches you please post it instead of just thinking "I have that same set up and its covered now" I want to see duplicate information on internet setups from different people. So think of it this way. Just read this first post and pretend there are no others and imediatly post your information.
Here is what I want to know.
1) internet connection type (Cable, DSL, Fiber, Dial up etc...)
2) Your ISP (only the name. no Ip info or anything else)
3) The make and model of the modem
4) The make and model of your router
5) Firewall software including any antivirus software
Remember Do not use this thread to try and troubleshoot others problems. Try to keep this thread clean with only the information I need. That way it will be easier to see what is going on out there. After I get enough data I will create a new thread intended for troublshooting. I will be tracking this with Excell.
