Seems like on windows 7 you can't portforward; I already saw about add a exception on the firewall for specific ports and programs, in the case the samp dedicated server and hlds cs 1.6 server, but dont work, both, and also on any port I try to forward.

I have a speedtouch v510 as modem
I have a tp-link TL-WR740N as router
I am using windows 7 ultimate 32bits

On windows xp I could portforward any ports, but now I can't
Also the pfportchecker portchecker from www.portforward.com won't install on windows 7.

And I'm not having access to the modem ip: 192.168.1.254

Just works for the router one: 192.168.1.1

anyone couldn't portforward on windows 7?

It does not matter what OS you use to forwarder.
go on 192.168.1.1, and open the ports you need.
edit:
Start >> Cmd >> ipconfig, and type in the ip address in the web browser

This case is special. Since I upgraded for windows 7, it doesn't allow me to portforward.

also I tried portforward the modem only, and won't open any ports, and didn't change any modem or router config, also restaured for factory configs before.

Port forwarding occurs on the machine with a firewall, not on the operating system behind it. So unless you have a second firewall installed on your computer aside from Windows Firewall, are you actually saving the port forwarding configuration? And have you configured each router leading up to the WAN to forward the desired port, not just the one at the end of the chain closest to your computer?

I succsessfully port forwarded on Windows 7. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUiuBSqn9io"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUiuBSqn9io[/ame]

Ya, I'm saving. And Im just able to configure the router, but before I was able to open the speedtouch through 192.168.1.254, but now it doesn't responds, and both are together to the main computer, and it's through the speedtouch Im not able to access that I GET my main internet. Also I installed microsoft security essencials. Something to do?

are you using a wireless connection?
because when I tried to connect to the router from the laptop of my gf which only used Wireless it didn't work
as soon as I connected it through a lancable it worked..

Yet sometimes it worked even only with the wireless :/

[Haydn]

Hmm.. Reset your router a couple times. I had to do that with my Apple Airport Express..

Usualy portforwarding goes smooth, you login on the router with 192.168.1.1, login with user/password then you go to portforwarding, then enable the port

Port forwarding isn't typically done on your computer, it is done on the device that handles your connection to the internet, such as a router. Therefore the operating system on your computer will not make a difference to setting up port forwarding.

You can learn more about what port forwarding does and how it works here:

Ya, the router is for wireless, but I tested if were the ports avaiable on notebook the desktop pc, and are closed. Also I tried on the modem, the hardware that handles my internet is the modem, and didn't open. It was with the modem alone, without the router, and yes I learnt already how to portforward correctly. And I reseted my router and modem everyday, since I dont keep them on.

Do anyone know a good portchecker program for windows 7? since pfportchecker doesn't installs on win7

[JaTochNietDan]

That suggests you're not port-forwarding correctly or that it's a problem with your Modem/Router. One of the most common errors with port-forwarding is actually forwarding the ports to the wrong IP addresses. You should confirm that you are selecting the correct IP address to forward the ports to in your Modem/Router configuration.

There may also be other things causing the issue, such as Windows Firewall blocking incoming connections for that program or that port.

HM. Single thing I remember I did of different on installing windows 7, was installing microsoft security essencials, and as weird as its I cant access 192.168.1.254 anymore, just the router address: 192.168.1.1.

I bet on everywhere else on this world except south america you can get over or equal to 10mb bandwith with about 39,90 $ or less
And it's not for server hosting, just for play with local friends. And really I can't do nothing more about portforward problem, since 192.168.1.254 doesn't responds and doesn't portforwards with the modem solo

[dannyk0ed]

I portforwarded my server, but firewall blocked it, i unblocked it and worked, now i have a host.
