So to begin with, i use a Thomson TG784 router, i know how to port forward and have done so before (Not with this router *Successfully*), however this is becoming a pain. i am trying to open ports for a game that requires it to hold a decent connection to other players. after forwarding ports on my router, assigning it to PC, disabling router firewall and enabling it (didn't make a difference), i went into windows firewall and opened all ports for said application, however, the game, along with multiple testing sites have told me the ports are closed even after that, specifically that they time out upon trying to connect. Also, i cannot use my uPnP as it is broken and does the opposite of its purpose, on certain games, it actually disconnects every 5-10 minutes. also, my avira and any other antivirus/security software doesn't have web safety enabled, and so isn't blocking ports. so someone feel free to start quizzing me on whats up, because this is going on like 5 hours of me trying to port forward (if not much more)
