Portforwarding not working

Hi all

Im somehow unable to portforward.
I have portforward activated and the port which I want to forward is on the list. It doesnt matter what Port I want to open, but lets say 1000.
Service name is random (doesnt matter), Port range is 1000, chose my local IP, local port is empty and for protocol i chose BOTH. Yeah I think that should do it to activate it. But im unable to get it open. Canyouseeme, PFPortforward and several other sites say its not forwarded.
Firewall and AV is off. UPnP is activated. But no success.
The program im using actually supports upnp, but its unnable to forward it, so I thought i rather try to forward it manually, but yeah, here I am.
googled the interwebs and found nothing that actually changed something.
Tried some commands on telnet I found from this forum for upnp, still nothing.
Yeah I have absolutely no idea what to do next.
Note that I got a Thomson TWG870U as modem/router or whatever you want to call it. Could it be that its somehow blocking it?
Firewall is off and upnp activated

Edit: When I go to System Log > Port Forwarding I can see the ports are on the list with my local ip

My advice would be to turn your firewall back on. Disabling a firewall is usually for intermediate to advanced users.

The link below will show you how to port forward when you have two NAT routers. Your Thomson would be router1 and the Asus would be router2.

Then you just forward the ports as described in the link example and then you create a port exception in your Windows firewall. If you don't know how to do that, you can google it.

Someone had a similar question, try forwarding ports greater than 1024, in your case just append a zero and should have 10000.

Thanks for the posts

From my understanding:
1. Go to my first router/modem (the thomson) and chose Port forwarding (external). There ive entered in "Remote Host Address" my internal ip with the port i want to open. I chose 10000 (as TeHashX suggested)
2. Went to my Asus router and normaly portforwared my internal ip with 10000.
3. Activated firewall, added exception for these ports.
4. Testing the stuff: Doesnt work. They are still blocked.
Not sure if I did right. If yes please correct me

But Im able to get it worked with thomson only. Didnt even have to portforward, the upnp did its job.
But I dont want to connect via thomson just for the port. I want to have it on my asus. Im connected via Wlan and i normaly deactivate the wlan on thomson so it doesnt interfere in any hard way with asus. Im able to get my full 100mbit download speed (12.5mb/s) on my asus any time with 3 walls interfering. I dont wanna miss out on that ;)
