Hi there,
I have a wireless netgear dg834g router with a laptop connected with wireless card and desktop connected with cat 5 cable.
I have set up both machines with static ip's and firewall rules to allow ports 6881-6999 on tcp and udp.
The problem is that only the laptop can receive the incoming connections on these ports.
The firewall rules section look identical for both. The only difference lies under the UPnP page on the router setup page - only the laptops ip address is displayed. (there is only option to turn UPnP on or off, no individual ip settings available)
I have checked under "connected devices" to make sure ip addresses are correct and they are.
Is there any reason why the desktop is still having connections blocked?
I have set up xp pro for workgroup accessing internet through local gateway which i set as the routers ip.
Internet and everyting alse works fine it is just the incoming connections on these ports for desktop that are being blocked despite the firewall rules.
I would appreciate any help you can give.
I look forward to hearing from you.
