How do I port forward?!? I need to do it to host and connect to a server but I cant?? Ive gone into my router settings and done it but when I use a program to check if its open it says it isn't :'(

All my firewalls are disabled!!

Did you follow the steps (on portforward) pertinent to your router make and model? If not, what router do you have; and what steps have you taken?

I had a problem once where my router had an ACL rule on the IP Tables and I could not change the setting or try to override the rule through the GUI/admin. So, I exported my configuration, manually erased the rules for the port, imported the config again and added a custom rule, then I setup my NAT as per portforward and it worked perfectly.

PS: I also got an endless loop whenever I wanted to connect to the PC from behind the router via the PC self LOL
