A mate of mine has a router which has been flashed by his ISP and sent to him. (It is a Netgear DG834GT)
It appears to have had the Port forwarding section removed. He said it is in the manual he downloaded but not in the menu of the router.
They have however left uPnP enabled on it - which will enable him to forward ports on it through Windows.
Past experience of this, suggests once you shut down or reboot the windows machine which has forwarded the ports, they are removed from the router. This is all from memory, I am not at a machine with a uPnP link on it.
Is this right ? Is there a way to get the Port rules to stay after Windows is rebooted - or at least enabled automatically when the machine is fired up ?
