Strange Port Issue

[Legacy_Jenna WSI]

               Changed ISP and using a new netgear router. I opened all the ports manually that NWN requires, but my log for the server says the gamespy port 5121 is closed. But it's not. Restarting the router doesn't help. I'm a bit lost as to what the problem is here.

               What model is your NetGear? Have you looked at portforward.com yet as to the setup for your specific model of router?

               Yes but I didn't see anything that explains it. I have a dynamic ip unfortunately, too.

               Well, to port forward you would need to set an internal static IP on the computer you are using to host from. The router IP can be dynamic as you can use a dns service to host games on a dynamic IP. Some ports on some routers are stubborn and won't open unless forwarded, just an fyi as well, the local ISPs here won't even deal with a NetGear. They actually refuse to hook up internet if you are using a NetGear here.

Are you using the wireless on the router or hard wired? I've read a few notes about enabling upnp on the wireless if using that.

You are using Linux correct? I couldn't begin to tell you how to setup an internal IP on a linux box sorry '>.

               Might want to check with your new ISP to see if they are blocking the ports as well.
