I'm wondering if there are a lot of peole having problems with this router and port forwarding? Humor me and assume I am not an idiot when it comes to following directions or computer (on a software level anyway) in general first of all. Now, I have a static IP, and I have my ports forwarded. No typos anywhere. I have no firewalls running. I have no spyware. My ISP assures me they are not blocking ports or hindering me in any way and honestly wouldn't care if I were hosting a 24/7 FTP let alone make use P2P clients.
Still, I get that yellow light. I've run port checks from various soures including the natcheck.pl posted here and the status checking torrent file posted here. Everything thinks I have a firewall running. I've tried doing this from my Windows XP partition and my Linux partition.
So, to sum it up, before I get off my lazy ass and bypass my router by running directly from my modem to my PC (hey, it's a mess back there, ok?) to make absolutely sure, I just thought I'd see if I'm not insane to think that this particular router is maliciously maniacal.
