Hi guys,

Anyone help? I have Linksys WRT54GS and I'm trying to view a stream which is using UDP. If I plug the internet connection directly to my laptop via RJ45, I can view the stream. If I use the router, the stream doesn't work. It's as if there is nothing there.

I have tried the DMZ, tried forwarding the port. Maybe something I'm missing?

Ta.
 
I tried port forwarding the port 1234 to my laptop, but it doesn't appear to work.

thanks for your help.

OK, I cannot find an option to open a port (with this router) only the option to port forward. I will try streaming (with ethereal open) when connected directly, see if it suggests anything else needs opening.
 
I've had three, D-Link, Netgear and finally Linksys, can't say I've ever noticed it on those three :confused: Have you any experience of a Linksys at all bud?
 
Aye, it has a firewall, which has been duly disabled. The only security options regarding ports are forwarding and triggering, then obivously uPNP
 
Nope. The only difference is that when connect directly, it works and when connected via the router it doesn't. I don't use a firewall on this computer (silly I know, but there are reasons) so it's not a firewall causing the problem as it can usually connect when plugged in directly.

Yes, NAT is enabled! It's not often I'm stumped by things like this, but oddly, I am. When I had the D-Link, it worked fine. The Netgear wouldn't... this doesn't yet, however, so far this router is rock solid.
 
Everything works through the router, apart from this UDP stream yeah. The laptop has an IP, gateway, DNS etc. Internet works, mail works, etc. just this damn stream. Maybe it's a sign, who knows :)
 
Cheers for your help buddy. Not a problem. I'll just not bother with watching TV, it can only be a good thing.
