Unhappy Port Forwarding is not working.


Hi. I have a NETGEAR wireless router, model WGR614 v6.

I play a game called Worms Armageddon and to be able to host a game on it u need to forward ports 17010-17012. I forward the ports and everything then i go back to worms and i still cant host.

Can anyone tell me why port forwarding isnt working?

Make sure you didn't miss a digit.

Make sure you're forwarding to your machine.

Make sure your firewall isn't blocking those ports.

run a port scan from some site like SheildsUp to see if they think the ports are open. note that in addition to forwarding a port you often also need to seperately enabel it on the router.
