I have a Netgear FVS318 firewall, I have tried to setup port forwarding to use various p2p applications but I cannot get it to work with DHCP enabled. Even if I reserve the forwarded IP address to my computers MAC address it does not work. The only way it works is if I manually assign IP address, which can be a real pain.

Maybe time for a new router. :) I have no issues with my D-Link, I lock all the workstations to IP addresses with the DHCP server, and forwarding works fine.:music:

Do you have the latest firmware?

If not, you can download it from the manufacturer's website and update ("flash") the internal memory with the new firmware.
