Port Forwarding

[BiAxident]

Cant get the yellow icon at the bottom of the screen to go away. The port forward test is failing. I am NOT using a router and do NOT have a firewall enabled.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Are you on DSL?? What is the make and model of your Modem??

[iamtheone1999]

i am having the same problem.

my modem is a iConnectAccess634 modem/router and i am on 512/128k DSL.

i am using the port that was set when i installed it (53668). i have forwarded it on my modem/router but i still get the yellow exclamation at the bottom of the screen. i have done the "Test if port is forwarded properly" option and i get "Error! Port 53668 does not appear to be open." i have opened it, why is it telling me that?!

i am not using a firewall or any other software that would limit my connectivity.

i have set the connection type to xx/128k

i don't know why i am getting consistently low speeds. what is the point of DSL when i am getting dial-up speeds?

edit ->

oh i have just tried doing the speed test, but there are no locations near me. they are all US locations and i am in Australia. so it wouldn't really do me any good to try a speed test, since it wouldn't be a very accurate measurement of my speed.

edit again

i did it just for the heck of it, to the first server on the list LinkLine, Los Angeles, CA and this is the result

iamtheone1999, I have the exact same problem, 'cept I have a router. Also, I live in Aus as well.

To do an Australian speed test, search "speed test aus" in google.
