Hi Tim,

No I’m not using DMZ although I did try it to see if it made any difference,

I have7 pc’s in my network, one of them runs a mail server with port forwarding working perfectly well

setting up port 4569 to the Centos pc appears to work ok too

It is set up by setting up “services” which form part of firewall rules

I have had the Centos pc set up with a static IP and had it running as dhcp.

While I was out a friend managed to connect to me ( it was running as dhcp) but he said it wouldn’t drop carrier so he disconnected I haven’t been able to speak to him since so I’m not exactly sure what happened

Ken

Ken,

If you can open an IP address but not ports perhaps you're using the DMZ feature of your router than the port forward feature. Some routers call port forwarding different names. On your router it's called an "inbound rule". I've attached the manual for your router. See if you can make sense of port forwarding configuration on your router. If not we can see about setting it up for you. In that case we'll need some sort of screen share program like log-me-in or current version of skype.
