I had a DI 604 router and I couldn't forward ports, someone told me to buy a new router because my modem (TM602G) doesn't have a built-in router and can't be blocking it so I bought a DIR 601 with wireless and I still have the problem.

I don't have any firewalls.
I have the problem on 3 PC's, so I think that eliminates any software issues.

Anyone have any solutions?

Re: Can't forward ports.

That DI604 is a router (which should have forwarding ports capability).

Follow this link and look for your router make and model and it will give you the instructions on how to forward the ports.

Re: Can't forward ports.

I don't think you've read my post
I now have a DIR 601 with wireless and I know how to forward ports, canyouseeme.org still says it's blocked, it's why I came here.

Edit: Nvm, you were just pointing out my old router could forward ports too.

Re: Can't forward ports.

I'm not sure what caused this, but now after forwarding it, I'm getting a connection refused rather than a timeout.

Re: Can't forward ports.

Whats the purpose for forwarding your ports? Give me some details if you will. Thanks

Re: Can't forward ports.

I've actually managed to forward ports, but I still can't login to my game (league of legends), it says it can't connect to pvp.net :/

There's nothing blocking it and the ports are forwarded.

Re: Can't forward ports.

Can you provide me a snapshot of the ports you forwarded specifically from your router interface? Thank You.

They're all reporting open with PFPort Checker except for port 80 which is blocked by my ISP, but I do not believe it's the problem because I could play the game fine before.

Thanks for your time

Re: Can't forward ports.

No problem. From the configuration, your not doing it correctly. Check out the link.

A firewall can disrupt connections. What do you have?

Disable the firewall and play the game, see if it helps.

Re: Can't forward ports.

Doing it like the link shows doesn't help and these are my firewall settings:

I don't see anything too obvious that disables the firewall.

Re: Can't forward ports.

For the ports, have you looked all the way on the bottom?

And what I meant to say was your software firewall.

Yea. there's nothing there.

And what I meant to say was your software firewall.

I don't have any and my windows firewall is off.

Re: Can't forward ports.

You need to check it more carefully. There's exactly three pictures that shows you which ports you need to be forward.

 

[Volney]

Re: Can't forward ports.

I have them exactly like in the picture.

Re: Can't forward ports.

With the PF port checker reading the ports as open, that indicates the port forwarding was done correctly. When switching between routers, have you checked to make sure the ports are forwarded to the correct IP address (if you have not set a static IP address for your computer)?

 

[Volney]

Re: Can't forward ports.

Yes, I've made sure that it's forwarded to 192.168.0.102. The PFPort checker is saing it's open with this new router (DIR 601).
I've actually just reformatted, disabled windows firewall and canyouseeme.org is still saying connection refused. I'm waiting for my game to download right now to test.

Re: Can't forward ports.

What av and firewall are you using on the affected pc?

 

[Volney]

Re: Can't forward ports.

Oh forgot about this thread sorry, I fixed the problem by forwarding the ports in windows firewall instead of disabling it. Kinda weird, but after that canyouseeme.org gets a timeout on the port and it's open (I'm assuming this is what you call a stealth port). I didn't have any AV's before or after the reformat.
