port forwarding only open tcp port but udp remains closed.......
« on: December 25, 2010, 09:07:05 PM »
My network has 2 router as detected by shanes toolbox. My router/modem is Thomson ST536 and my router is Netgear WNR1000. i have port forwarded for both of them. But when i check using the simple port tester, only the tcp port is opened. The udp port remains closed. Is there something i did wrong?

If you search my forum here you will see that thomson has a bug in their routers that UDP is blocked (It thinks it is always a flood attack)

Yet I found a strange fix for it. You need to make a UDP rule from 1000 to 65000 UDP in the thomson (Have it point to your netgear)

And for some reason it will work :wink:

Give that a try.

Glad to hear it  :cheesy:

Since your all fixed I will lock this thread :wink:

And as always...
If your happy with my work. Then all I ask in return is you simply let others know about my site and programs. I do a lot more than port forwarding :-)
Also always feel free to make a post in the feedback forum.
