Port forwarding problem
Firmware Version V1.01.15, Windows 7.
I set up some ports to be forwarded.
Set them up properly but they are not working and on checking on canyouseeme, nothing is showing as forwarded. Turned off UPnP. Turned it on. No difference. Rebooted unit after doing those. Port forwarding ALWAYS is marked. Correct Internal IP Address is selected. I cannot think of what else it could be. I had set up port forwarding myself with my previous router/modem, a Cisco with no problems. Is there some setting on the Netgear I may be missing? Any help please?

Evidence? Actual rules?

Evidence? How have you fixed that IP address? (Reserved? Static?)
Are there any server programs running on that system which are listening
on the designated ports? Can they be reached from the LAN on those
ports at that system's LAN address?

It's hard to tell, knowing approximately nothing about what you
actually did.
