      Looks like he wants everything deleted -- what we assume is some misconfig on his boxes firewall he was trying to forward too.

      Grimson's guess is that this firewall like windows firewall has some method of changing profiles based upon network information. Kind of like windows can switch between private and public profiles. While this does seem logical - the OP seems to want to just forget the whole thing.. Even though the information could be very informative to others in the same boat with problems in forwarding.

      Not exactly sure what exact OS or firewall he was running - so makes it difficult to investigate further. Wish the OP would change their minds and continue down the path to enlightenment for just not the people involved closure but everyone else that might come across this thread. Like yourself.

      I will look into further when I get a chance - and reread the troubleshooting guide. Since mention of firewall profiles and rule sets that could change upon network changes - like say the mac address of the gateway changing is for sure a good troubleshooting tip to finding a users problem.

          Thanks I will look into if some profiles could of been involved in the problem. Would you nice enough to go into some details of what exactly was wrong in the firewall on the box..

          Was it some firewall profile change - a misconfigured rule? with wrong port? But you had stated they worked with other router, etc. So some details of the puzzle are still missing.
