So im trying to forward some ports, and they are not getting forwarded (or something). Here is the setup: WRT54G router, and a PK5000 modem. I have forwarded ports on the router, but not in the modem (which can be wireless) because it didn’t make a difference when i tried that. The computer’s firewall is set up to allow these ports, and i think (unless i missed something) that i forwarded the ports correctly on my router. So why is this not working? Is there some other setting in the router that needs to be set that isn’t in the port forwarding options?
you forwarded ports to your router ?
the goal of port forwarding is to forward ports from the router to the destination host.
connection to your public ip on port xx → router forwards to host with private ip on port xx → firewall on destination host open on port xx
it’s possible you also have a firewall on the router, in that case also open the port there
