Hello GotischerV,

(1) Navigating the router's user interface (UI) will vary from router to router. Exactly which model router do you own?
(2) Do the ports need to be forwared as well?

To FROWARD those ports visit your web interface (http://192.168.1.1). And click on the port forwarding tab.

Nice link zero.counter. Does the free version work or must one purchase the software?

Thanks. Anything but their utilities Port Trigger and PFConfig are free. The walkthroughs are detailed enough, IMHO.

A very nice tool, then - esp. for the novice user. Thanx again for the nugget. :)
