Port forwarding not work
I have been trying for 2 days to figure out why my port forwarding isn't working. I've port forwarded many times before on previous routers but this one will not comply, unless I'm overlooking someth...
Yes that's right. Remove the port forwarding rules you've done as well and then try it again.
Removed all port forwarding rules and still no dice.
Before start running wild - check the Netgear router Internet/WAN IP address as seen on the router Web UI assigned by the ISP with the Google what is my IP address result. If this is not the same, CGN is in place. Almost all port forwarding issues are related to the lack of public IPv4 addresses and the usage of carrier grade NAT (CGN) by the ISPs.
- Some good advice above, seems like that could a cause as DMZ should have worked with Modem > router > PC.
According to DumaOS my WAN IP is identical to the one that Google reports.
- In that case I would contact your ISP and see if they are blocking any ports on your connection. They may do so for your security but if you're using the router then it has its own Firewall.
