    Port Forwarding

    I am on BE with the thomson 585 router. I have tried to forward a port but when I check on canyouseeme its showing as blocked.

    I have tried this with three different port and all are showing as blocked.

    The bloody funny thing is I have a another port open that works fine.

    Done that but still no joy. The PF is going to two different devices. I currently have three set up which work fine but not this last one.

    The saga continues!!!!
    After bloody countless tickets they have sent out a new router which is even more bloody useless than the orginal. Initially it would not connect anything even though the ports were showing as open on canyouseeme.org and total non connectivity apart from browsers.
    Anyway got partial back with a backup and restore from the old router but still the same bloody thing on the same port to the same device, before a reboot fixed the problem but this time even that is not doing it. The annoying thing is there is incoming traffic to the device but no outgoing.
    Now if I assign an internal IP address it will connect, so am thinking its the port that is not forwarding properly even though it is showing as open in canyouseeme?

    Done a further test on shields up and its showing as open as well.

    Any one got any idea wht the bloody thing is not letting traffic through?
