Evening all.

So if you haven't been following the shout box (Sorry for filling that with this issue)

I got a new PC, Deleted old port settings for old pc and entered new data for this one in router settings.
None of the ports are opening.

Norton is my AV. it's set to allow for Simsig.

I've even rebooted the routed and deleted all port forwarding rules again, and re-entered the one for this. Still nothing.

Where am I going wrong? My brain is mash now trying top figure this out.

(I'm off to bed and working tomorrow, so I'll be back at 16:00ish). /

Thanks troops!
Craig

How are you testing it?

As always some screenshots would help us diagnose anything obvious.

I’m on my phone just now, but I used a ping check link that I found somewhere in a thread in this topic.

I’ll be home around 17:30 so will boot up and get sorting

Craig to save time waiting for people to connect http://canyouseeme.org/ is quite useful. Load up a simulation on a port, and pop the port number in and hit check. You'll notice a connection and straight disconnect in the simulation if the port is open correctly, and the text on the web page will go green.

we are up and running, and I can host again, but not until like next week when I'm off.

Thanks for all the help and patience folks!
