    I have a SMCD3GN router and I'm trying to forward the ports TCP : 80,443 UDP: 3658,13000. Earlier I was able to forward the TCP but not the UDP. now after a router restart and no changes made to my router settings none are forwarded. I'm using this site to check my ports :

    http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/

    I've attached a screenshot of the port forwarding page in my router settings.

    I should also add I have my firewall disabled and no antivirus.

    Thanks for any help

    Lets start from the beginning, who is your provider, and why are you opening ports on the router. Go to http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/SMC/SMCD3GN/ click on the program or device you are wanting to set up, and it will give you step by step instructions. As for the yougetsignal site, it will not show anything, due to your router will always "Stealth" the ports, which means that they will always show closed for security reasons.

    Rogers is my provider, I'm trying to portforward for Tom Clancy's splinter cell blacklist which is not on that list yet as it just came out today. I am unable to go online in blacklist while everyone else is doing just fine. I did use that site earlier to make sure I was doing it right. also the site that checks the ports said the 2 tcp ports were open earlier now it says closed.

    Again, those sites will always state that the ports are closed, because the SMC IPTables is placing them in stealth mode, which it should always be doing. If all you are doing is playing the game, you do not need to open any ports.

    Per the link that I posted, just pick one of the Splinter Cell options or even Tom Clancy options. The setup is the same when setting the ports, just follow the directions.

    80, 443 are always going to be open on the Router, since the first is used for Web Browsing and HTTPS (SSL/TLS) for port 443. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers

    Also are you playing this game on a PC or on a gaming system? If a PC, what third party Internet Security Software are you using?
