    "I can detect no sign of it working"

    February 3, 2010  |   By Itossa

    Pros

    As it does n ot appear to be working I can find nothing to say.

    Cons

    It downloaded without any form of instruction so apparently it should automatically forward a port that needs forwarding but in fact nothing happened.

    Summary

    Like a dozen or so port forwarding systems I have tried over the years, It simply does not forward the two or three programmes that give me a problem. Better luck n ext time chaps. This will be going to the same place as all those so called modem boosters and download accelerators

    It doesn't come with instructions b/c it's supposed to be self-explanatory, and it's FREE.

    I suspect the reason none of these programs have worked for you is b/c the port your trying to re-route is already locked/in use. Windows won't allow you to listen on ports which are already claimed. Also, check you firewall and make sure that it is allowing your port you want forwarded through.

    One last thing, this software DOES NOT enable port forwarding on your router. That has to be done ON the router.
