Port Forwarding... Can't use UPNP
TheArmyGuy:
Yep, one of the first port forwarding threads since v13.
We recently got a new router because we switched to fibre optics. Too bad it's a piece of stuff when it comes to user friendlyness, and for some reason my friends cannot join my server when UPNP is enblaed in the network options of blockland; this is with UPNP options enabled in the router's settings.
Now I was obviously forced to port forward to host my server. Problem is, the router is a piece of stuff like I said before. It currently looks like this:
The router itself is an Arcadyan VGV7519, which you probably haven't heard of before, and you can be happy you haven't.
I opened port 28000 to 28030 in Norton 360 as well, and yes I know that Norton is a terrible virus scanner blah blah eufhsg I'm sick enough of it myself, but I can't change atall in any way possible ever. I've been trying this for one and a half hours now, so any help would be very very much appreciated, I'm about to smash the router into a billion bits so we'll have to force-buy a new decent one, like a LinkSys. Many thanks in advance.

How come that router manufacturer is not in this list http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm
Altiris:
It's 28000-28000 I believe.
Axo-Tak:
Norton might be the problem. Disable it temporarily and host a Blockland server with UPnP enabled on both the router and Blockland.
Get someone to check it quickly. Once you get results, shut the server off and re-enable Norton.

That wouldn't be the cause of the issue, 28000-28030 is just opening 30 more ports
