Users cannot connect (not a newb question)

[IBaird]

I'm running Windows Vista x64 Home.

I have a Belkin G+ MIMO running through a Qwest Netopia modem.

I've enabled 3784 UDP, TCP on both, as well as 6100 UDP on both the modem and router.

I've tried connecting directly to my modem, bypassing my router.

I have modified my IPv4 to gather the information by specified values found in ipconfig /all.

I have Windows Firewall disabled.

I have tried DMZ hosting when connected trough the router to the modem.

I do not have an antivirus or other firewall installed.

I can connect via 127.0.0.1

I did not have any problems editing my INI or installing the service. My account has full admin rights.

I have disabled extra network adapters.

Outside users still cannot connect.

Any advice?

what model is the qwest modem?
is the firmware for it up to date?
does it also have a built-in router?

if yes then remove the portforwarding from the belkin.
if yes, are you changing lan ipaddresses from the first router to the pc's

(qwest-192.168.0.1 > belkin-192.168.1.1 > pc-192.168.1.100) or something like this?

if the router has a 'virtual server' setup try using that instead of the portforwarding section.

Netopia 3347-02

Both the router and the modem are up to date.

I don't know if the modem has a built in router, I know that it allows multiple clients to connect via a wireless connection as well as ethernet, so I'd assume yes?

When forwarding ports I was forwarding the ports on the modem to the router (192.168.0.1 => 192.168.0.64) and from the router to my PC (192.168.0.1 => 192.168.0.64 => 192.168.2.3)

The Belkin doesn't have "port forwarding" it simply has virtual servers, so that was what I was using to begin with.

I have even tried connecting to the modem directly now, with IP passthrough enabled and still have yet to succeed. Using a dynamic DNS or WAN IP.

Anyone got an idea...?

[Prog-Rocker]

by 'ip passthrough' are you referring to using a DMZ setting on the netopia?

[IBaird]

Yes, exactly.

[Prog-Rocker]

when you connected directly to the netopia, was it with wired or wireless?

I have been running a server on a seperate box from my main gaming rig for a few years now without problems. Just today, I fired the server up, got the connection to steam servers successful message, and then I could not see my server in the internet tab of the browser. I can still connect fine through the lan IP, but no one can connect from the outside.Any idea what the hell is going on? best free registry tools

did your external ipaddress change? - http://www.ventrilo.com/myip.php

any updates to firewall apps? (check their logs for messages about vent being blocked)

did you change the local lan ipaddress? does it still match the portforward setup?
