I am trying to forward some ports, 2300-2400 and 47624 for a game I am trying to host. The game listens on 2300 for incoming connections and may use the other ports once connected. It's not a problem with this particular game because none of my programs requiring forwarding are working. I know how to forward ports - I have no problem doing so with my PC. Something in my windows is blocking the ports... and I can't figure it out. I have the windows firewall completely turned off. I have no other firewall software running. Trying to forward here on my Linksys WRT54G/GL/GS: http://www.krauselabs.net/dump/ports.png Here's dxdiag: http://www.krauselabs.net/dump/laptopDxDiag.txt Here's my security screen: http://www.krauselabs.net/dump/firewall.png Here's ipconfig: http://www.krauselabs.net/dump/ipconfig.png Here's netstat -a: http://www.krauselabs.net/dump/netstat.png I see a potential issue there. You can see port 2300 listening on 0.0.0.0 - but it's not listening on my LAN IP which is 192.168.1.121 Another thing I found is that my laptop for my wired etherent connection shows up as * in my router host list, while my wireless is my computer name like this: http://www.krauselabs.net/dump/hosts.png I've tried disabling the wireless, restarting, assigning a static IP, turning on the firewall and allowing exceptions, everything! Please help... i'm really at a complete loss.

1. For help with Linksys look here (not limited to this reference, you can google other possibilities) http://www.linksysinfo.org/index.php 2. Output in the form of picture is useless. Use redirect into file instead. 3. Use network monitor to pinpoint the problem in communication. (Let the firewall disabled for tests.) Regards Milos
