[BEFSX41] Gaming issue. Should I upgrade my router? Hi. I have a BEFSX41 linksys router. I play Warhammer 40k: Dawn of war almost every day. When I try to create and host a game I get an error saying that "the listing server can't connect due to a router or firewall issue." Something with a UDP problem. Some things to keep in mind: 1. I'm on the DMZ port. 2. I've forwarded the right port for the game to host. 6112. 3. I've even passed a community made applet to test if the port is working. It will connect and list if all the tcp and udp ports are passing. 4. I use outpost software firewall. I made a rule to allow UDP connections. (though it might not be perfect) I even turned the firewall off completely and still got the error - so that's not it. I tried all this and I still can't HOST games. I can join games fine btw. So, should I upgrade my firmware? I've read on the games forums that that might help. I keep reading horror stories about upgrading firmware and I'd rather not spend all day fixing it after a quick flash. I'm using: firmware 1.44.3, Dec 24 2002 yes, it's old, but I never have issue with anything else. If i do need to upgrade do you have any tips on how to do it correctly?

Maybe your router is connected to another router that does have a firewall, such as a VOIP adapter. Sometimes cable/dsl modems might have firewalls in them. Also try connecting directly to the internet w/o the router and see if that works.
