Grasping at straws now - Any firewalls? Client/router sided? have a look around your router; they can sometimes cause problems. Ninja - You may want to try putting your router firewall into "snooze" temporarily. You could also try setting your machine as the DMZ.

Looked at your router's manual...
It seems you have quite a few choices on the UPnP settings; I would recommend....
Enable full Internet Gateway Device (IGD) support and nothing else.

Firewall (Kaspersky) and Windows Firewall (even though it's disabled, it still enables its exception list) are both set to allow BL. Kaspersky is also set to Gaming Mode continuously.

Just plug your CPU into your modem(where the internet comes into your house). Instead of Modem>Router>CPU. I called out internet company, we talked, and I found out it's safe. Though it may not be, call your internet company to see.

This will just mess things up if you have multiple devices.

Ethan - Did you try disabling the router's firewall?

It's currently off.

:/ Try setting your machine as the DMZ (via router interface); although this will remove all router security protecting you still have your machine's protection. It may be worth a try.

BTW, changing ISPs and routers in a couple of weeks. I'll give your idea a try.

Enabled DMZ with my machines IP. All enabled well, I'll try it later today.

Just got new internet and a new router, Dynalink RTA1025WE.
Enabled UPnP, tried to host, nobody joined, ping was ---.
I'm starting to think that Kaspersky is the problem, even though it's set to let it through. Any ideas?
