I have never had a problem portforwarding until now.

I have never had a problem with port forwarding until now. I recently moved, and got a new modem.  I have set up the port and turned the firewall off but I still am having issues. Any ideas? (Yes I know I am using IE but for some reason chrome only googles ip address instead of going to them -.- )

@ZeroX8:

> 1\. you haven't told use EXACTLY what the problem is
> 2\. try restarting the server to see if it works.

When I checked to see if the port is open it is still closed. (Using http://www.canyouseeme.org/ "I could not see your service on 66.68.134.48 on port (7001)")

After some quick research I learned that my new type of modem is very sensitive and needs a static address… which is weird considering before I moved i was using the same forwarded port for a year with no static address. Anyway after attempting to form a static address I failed. I followed all of the steps here

But it still did not work. I couldn't open any webpages or anything. I will attempt again.

I set up the static address, and re-port forwarded using it. Still the port is closed :/

To recap.

My new address is 192.168.0.40 , it IS static. I re port-forwarded it, and disabled all firewalls. It is forwarded on port 7001\. The port is still showing as closed though.

Thanks, but after more research it is a problem with my modem. Apparently the firmware doesnt support portforwarding, looks like I'm buying a new one lol.
