pom Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Hi. I have the green tick, but have failed the port forwarding test. I have tried both UPnP + manual port forwarding. I am using a Linkysys ADSL Router WAG325N. The ADSL connection is 4 mbps and my ISP is Etisalat in the United Arab Emirates (they use a proxy server).I have completed setting it up the Linksys router as per the instructions on the port forwarding site given, but I still fail the port forwarding test. My downloads/uploads rarely go beyond 30 kbps.What does all this mean? Is this relatively slow? Do I have a problem? If so how do I solve it?

Ultima Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 If you get a green network status light, then you can probably ignore the port checker. The reason the port checker fails is usually due to some kind of proxy hiding your real IP from the port checker, in which case it won't check the port on the correct IP.
