michaelttkk United States16 Posts January 22 2013 21:33 GMT #7 i see. my wireless router is ZyXEL1432-B101 and I did the port forwarding in the Router as well as on my computer. But still with the same result.

Grobyc Canada18410 Posts January 22 2013 21:36 GMT #8 Have you tried completely disabling your windows firewall? I recall having an issue like this years ago and it turned out to be because my windows firewall was denying traffic on port 6112. Usually this exception is made when BW is first installed/launched, but whatever reason perhaps it didn't. Of course if it is the firewall you just need to add a manual rule allowing the traffic because it's not a good idea to simply turn your firewall off.

michaelttkk United States16 Posts January 22 2013 21:46 GMT #9 i agree. that's why i manually allowed 6112 TCP and UDP in my firewall as exception. maybe i should try with firewall disabled for just 1 time and see.

scudst0rm Canada1149 Posts January 22 2013 22:18 GMT #11 Did you give your computer a static IP on your network? Most of this stuff won't work if the router is dynamically assigning an IP every time the PC turns on. To enable static IP you also need to provide DNS IPs. You can use these: http://www.opendns.com/opendns-ip-addresses

michaelttkk United States16 Posts January 23 2013 05:10 GMT #12 i set my ip 192.168.1.30 with 255.255.255.0 and the gateway as 192.168.1.1 for my dns i set primary to 4.2.2.2 and secondary to 208.67.222.222 it's strange, sadly with the same result. i called my ISP and they said they don't put any restriction to any port. we have to do it on the router.
