Windows 7 Port Forwarding

[drgonzo]

Hi,

I have a Belkin Router and have setup port forwarding on the router, but this seems to no longer work now I have installed Windows 7 - any ideas?

Have you tryed adding an exception in the firewall. this should be the route to look in to. I have to split for a few but repost and i"ll check back later

The most likely thing that I could think of is that you set up the ports for a specific IP/IP range and you havn't set up Windows 7 to assign a static network IP to your machine.

Your probably connecting to the router on an IP outside of the range that you have forwarded.
