Re: Soundrts router/firewall help
Hmm, well if your sure that the person on the other end has unblocked SoundRTS through there firewall, then I guess you should talk to your ISP and explain the problem your having. This could just be a limitation of the way your cable company's
infrastructure is set up, or it's possible that they block you from creating a server without a special internet plan, in which case it won't hurt to ask anyway, though it really doesn't seem like that's the case based on the lack of info given.
Looking at your router on the MWEB website, I see that it supports a few protocols that, if switched off, may be helping to cause this problem. Probably not though, but, what the hell it's worth a try...
So try making sure that "NAT" and "UPNP" are both enabled, that's probably somewhere within an advanced
section dealing with LAN, local area network. You should also consider updating your firmware to the latest version, that's going to be in the super top secret level 5, authorized access only government research lab section, where you'll probably have to submit to a retinal and DNA scan; so basically just the one most likely to brick your router for ever and ever and ever, leaving you sobbing and hopeless. But if all else fails, updating the firmware might just fix things, and, hopefully, if you blow it up, your ISP can downgrade you back to the previous version.
You should also know that if you already have a server anywhere within your local network, especially one that's running Linux, it could be intercepting port 2500 for it's self, since that's the default SSH port for accessing it I believe.
Unfortunately, changing to TCP won't help you, they are two totally different things. But you may consider that some firew
alls, both on the router and computer, let you pass specific ports through as well, so you may want to try that, though personally, it's never helped me. Still, every setup is different... So it's worth a shot.
Nice job on getting your self a static IP and port though!
P.S. Why do ISP's always put such stupid stuff on there main pages? Is anyone ever actually going to use that dating link, and not feel like they just sunk to a new, as yet unexplored low in their lives? Or check the winning lottery numbers right there instead of you know, on the actual friggin lottery website? Or maybe they'll rent a car so that they can travel to MWEB's offices perosnally in order to kick their asses for a network outage? Actually, that might be a useful service after all...
