Hello, a couple of months back we had one ISP, and at that time I could open SA-MP servers and my friends would just see them on my external IP and connect, didn't have to port forward or anything, the port opened automatically when I opened the server and closed when I shut the server down. Only negative thing was that my IP was dynamic.
Now that I've changed ISP however, and gotten a new router (D-Link DSL-2750B), to a much better ISP where I get better speed and such, and I also have a static IP, my server won't work. I've port forwarded in the router like I'm supposed to (I had to port forward my internal ip, external one wouldn't work), I've disabled my firewall and I've even tried putting my internal IP behind a DMZ (couldn't put the external behind it) but that wouldn't work either. When I try connecting to my external IP it just doesn't work. If I try to bind the server.cfg to my external ip I will get an error message saying "Unable to start port on my.external.ip.hidden:7777. Port in use?".
I've checked with PFPortChecker, it says that the port is open, but I still get Retrieveing info.
If I activate my firewall however, I will get a message that the port is open but it can't ping the router, I still get Retrieving info however.
Please help me, I can't figure out what's wrong and I don't want to use Hamachi or other programs like it.
