**Keep in mind I have tried using 2 different routers - a netgear and a linksys with the same results**
I really dont know what else I need to do to fix this problem so I thought I'd get some advice here. Here is the situation:
I have a cable modem and wireless router. My computer is a desktop with wireless PCI card. I have a static IP on my computer, internet works - everything seems ok. I cannot host warcraft 3 games and I cannot get anyone to join my TeamSpeak server if I use my wireless connection. My IP is 192.168.10.3 (I have tried all of this with DHCP enabled as well)
Now, if I run a Cat5 cable directly to the cable modem and use DHCP - it establishes a 72.193.230... IP and I am able to host in warcraft 3 and people can connect to my Teamspeak server. This is without changing any settings, etc.
Firewalls:
I have the windowsXP firewall disabled and have tried to host with the firewall off on the router as well as with the firewall on but exceptions for what I am trying to do- no luck.
Portforwarding:
I have done everything that I can to get this to work, however it NEVER shows that my ports are open if I go to to an online port check it shows the ports I need opened as being closed. This is both with the wireless and the hardline(when I can host). I have followed all the steps on www.portforward.com exactly as written. I know I have the right ports that I need to forward. I have forwarded both UDP and TCP.
DMZ:
I have even tried putting my computer with a static IP in the DMZ, with the router and windows firewalls off and still cant host.
What am I missing that could possibly be causing problems? Again I have tried this with more than one router. I have called my ISP and they say there is nothing on their end that could be causing this (which makes sense because I can host on the hardline).
Thoughts?
