Hi to all. I have Linksys Router with port forward activated to a static IP computer. Also Upnp is activated. Its been working fine for years, but recently on the computer I get the info that ports are not properly forward. I go into the router and router states that ports are forwarded. I reboot the computer and the same happens. I physically unplug the router from its power source and force the router to reboot and ports are working again for about 1 weak. And then it happens again. What could it be? Old router? (Close to six or seven years) Router: Linksys WRT54GL 1.1 Thanks. Once upon a time the floppy disk was king.

Well if it works after a week and then fails, it sounds as if there may be some sort of memory leak or something - NAT is running out of space & reboot frees it. Try upgrading the firmware. You might also put DDWRT on the router instead, it's a good linux kernel for the wrt series & works much better than the linksys firmware, imho.

Its currently running Hyper+Thibor firmware. I've been thinking about the DDWRT for a couple of days, now. I think i'm gonna give it a try. Thanks. Once upon a time the floppy disk was king.
