Looks like the script didn't work for you. Do you have the bt home hub 2 or 3? Each one uses a different script in the program.

Also post a screen shot of the port tester window in the program (Step 7) and also post a screen shot of the port forwarding page in the router. This will let me check if the port forwarding rule is correct

It's not working because you are using a very old version of the program. I have changed a lot of things, bugs, command, scripts. Get the newest version of simple port forwarding and use it. It is still free to update your router, so don't worry about that.

And get rid of that old version!

Crashing? Try removing the spf.exe.manifest file from the install dir and let me know if you still have the crash problem.

Did it not work because it crashed or did the script fail?

script failed couldnt detect the hub then started crashing again

Bugs me that it is crashing, I want to find out why

Lets get your port forwarding working first, then tear into the crash problem

Do you know how to forward the ports manually?

yes mate, but already tried that and im still not connectable.

Shane · « **Reply #11 on:** September 13, 2011, 02:55:59 PM »

Lets try it again. Make sure it is pointing to 192.168.0.254, make sure DMZ is off in the router and also if your router has a firewall settings page post a screen shot for me

cool no probs

alrightson · « **Reply #13 on:** September 13, 2011, 03:15:42 PM »

it's done the only thing is when setting the port forwarding, no place to point the ip address.

Put the firewall onto disabled, then for the port forwarding rule does it list your computer name instead?
