Port Forwarding

Hi 

I have the smart hub pro 7 and am currently trying to port forward a game server (assetto corsa)  The server requires tcp&udp 9600 and http 8081. I have configured all of this within the port forwarding section of the router saved the settings in the router and restarted the router after doing so. When hosting the server I can see it on the lan but when trying to join via the external ip address the server times out and it becomes impossible to join. I have checked the windows firewall settings on my pc and created rules for all of the ports required. Doing this has not fixed the issue either 

With my previous isp I could port forward and host this server with 0 issues. 

I have tried changing the server ports to 2 different ports to forward udp and tcp separately instead of together 

I have tried disabling ipv6 on the router and on my nic on the pc and this also hasn't fixed the issue

I have tried port forwarding steam server port this hasn't fixed the issue 

My pc is on a static ip and that has been dmz in the router settings 

Is this an EE router issue or am I doing something wrong

I found/fixed the issue

I had recently just done a clean install of windows on my pc and moved the documents folder to another drive. When ive moved the folder back into the c drive its put the folder as read only. After changing this to read/write the server starts no issue and can be joined no issues. Got to love microslop

@Connorcraven When it is in the dmz is it working as expected?

The port forwarding has been oops'd recently so you need to post up a picture off your rules that can be seen, and partially hide some part's to get through the filter.

No when in dmz it works the same as out of the dmz. I can see and connect via lan but when browsing the server list it times out. I have tried this on the newer version of this game sever and the same issue. I have also configured Microsoft loop back

@Connorcraven Your microsoft network setting's, private or public?

@Connorcraven Two things to check, find your NASA server IP on the lan manager, set it too static with always use the IP address, then hit save to keep it, go put that IP in the DMZ also but as a temp measure to get through the NAT firewall. When all done switch the power off on the EE Pro hub for 5 minutes, when back on see if you can get the port through on 8081 as your check, once all working get the IP back out off the DMZ so your server is not exposed same again save and reboot the Hub.
