I replaced a Linksys with a RT-N66U about a week ago and have spent countless hours trying to get my dc++ music sharing program (EchoesHub) to operate with an 'active' connection (forward a port in router). I have spent 20 hours researching/experimenting.
I am running the latest Asus firmware (and also cleared the nvram via telnet, as per another older thread).
Nothing on the computer changed - I simply swapped out the routers and dc++ stopped working in active mode.
To configure an 'active' connection, you simply forward a port (using 1412) for both tcp/udp. I've done this many times with a couple routers.
I am sure that I am entering the forwarding information correctly (hit + and apply). The N66U port-forwarding log shows the port is forwarded. I can even see uPnP work -- if I do nothing in the router except enable uPnP, I see the port configured in dc++ appear in the N66U forwarding log when I turn on the program. Nevertheless, the port appears to be blocked. Even DMZ for the machine IP does not work. I have tried both DHCP and fixed IP.
The log in my ATT modem/router (set to full passthru) shows the packets failing to being received, and several web based port-checking programs show the port closed.
I hate to return the router since I am otherwise very happy with it.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bob
