Asking kindly for help...

[rtbarret]

I'm trying to unblock a port and it's just not happening. I'm using the PFPortChecker tool to verify whether my port is open or closed. I have two routers in use ... one is a Zio INB5241SRe and the other is an LG-5000p. I live in Korea, and my Korean is not very good, so that makes this even more difficult. To forward the port I need, I have created a static IP, and under the NAT settings on both routers, have forwarded the port I need under said static IP address. I have also added the port to my windows firewall exception list. The only other security program I have running is the free thing from AVG, and I've tried disableing that completely, as well as my firewall, but the port still won't open. Any help is appreciated. I am by no means an expert at this stuff, so if you have any advice, please speak to me like I'm in kindergarten!

I'm assuming you have one router behind the other and all clients are connected behind the second router.

First, put the first router in bridge mode if the router supports it. If not, on the router connected to the Internet, put the IP address of the WAN port of the second router ((which is a LAN IP from the first router) in DMZ. Then open the specific port on the second router to the IP address of the client that needs the port opened.
