• Can't port forward on Zyxel router.
    3 replies, posted
I don't know what the problem is. I have opened the Port Forward tab and I input all the things that are needed (Start Port, End Port, Ip Adress) but it just doesn't work. Details: Router is Zyxel P-660HW-T1 v3 When I try to port forward I input these settings: Active: Ticked Name: Whatever Start Port: 27900 End Port: 27900 Ip Address: 192.168.1.33 (This is my Ipv4 Address) When I check it with PFChecker it says it isn't open. I have tried programs that port forward but they also fail.
You need to have a service running on nthe port you want to open, Then you canyouseeme (website) to check if your service is active on the net. Also you need a Static Internal IP, Or it will change constantly and your PC won't have the Port Forward.

Your settings seem sound enough, but from my own experience, most internal LAN IP's are usually 192.168.0.something, but I have never used a Zyxel router, just double check its right, if this does not work, then it is a firewall that will most likely be blocking it
