Forwarded Ports but allegedly still closed?

[SadisticMonkey]

Ok I did this
Port Forwarding Borderlands on the Trendnet TEW-631BRP
But it didnt help, in my router menu i have em all enabled but borderlands still wont let anybody connect with me. And PFPortChecker also says they're closed. I also added all the ports to windows firewall exceptions.
I put my router's IP in the empty IP slot because it didnt accept anything else and blank also wasnt an option.
Whats the problem here folks?

EDIT: Could it have something to do with this?


This is not my picture.
My options are set like this:
UDP: 2nd option
TCP: 3rd option

Those settings wouldn't effect it as mine is set to 2nd and 3rd as well since my DIR-655 has the same options.

How's your modem setup to your router? If the modem is managing the connection to the ISP and your router isn't the one initiating it, then it's likely the router does not have the outside IP address, thus why you forward ports don't do anything since the modem has it's own firewall and NAT.

Umm all i can say is i dont know. For all i know they might be connected by a wire or something. I really cant say anything else about my modem :/ its just.... there. Allways has been.

Well what's your ISP?

And on your router's status page, what's the IP address listed for the WAN?

ISP - I live in a country called estonia so my Internet Service Provider is Starman

WAN:






82.131.16.0 I think.

Should my WAN Port Mode be Router Mode or Bridge Mode?

Not too sure on the WAN Port setting. I'm assuming that's on the router?

However it seems you WAN IP semi-correct anyhow. Shouldn't end in .0 though.

I'm curious, if you plug your computer directly into the modem, do you get Internet connection right away? And if you do, go to command prompt and type: ipconfig and look for the default gateway address. Then try typing that into your browser and see if it turns up some sort of management page. And if it does, try and figure out the login information for it. If you can get in, then check out your modem configuration, perhaps it has a firewall in it as well which you should probably just disable and let the router handle things.
