what program are you trying to mapp?? I have seen issues where some software it's a pain to get mapped

here are two guides that may clear the air of port mapping

the thing is that first it uses the port forward and I don't work then it uses the other options one by one, at the end it uses all options and none works

And the port that I need to Forward is eMule and Warcraft 3

are you sure you are putting in the right proctocols tcp or udp or both?? Also make sure you got the right ip adress after you mapped

It sounds liek the wrong ip if dmz didn't work

You using any software firewalls??

Did you upgrade the firmware i would try that maybe you got a buggey version

MR_Shade · Post by **MR_Shade** » Wed Jul 07, 2004 12:45 am

Yes i have the new Firmware Version 1.50.18

Did you call linksys that is odd could be a bum router i could be wrong

Warcraft 3 looks like you want port 6112 TCP forwarded.

You either port forward (best approach)....OR...DMZ (poor approach)...but not both. One or the other...not both. Then people connect using your WAN IP, not the private LAN IP.

I made a post about that firmware earlier...

Firmware version 1.50.18 is buggy in my opinion. Get 1.45.3. I wouldnt use any of the 1.50.xx versions of the firmware. None seemed to work for me on my BEFSX41. You can get the 1.45.3 version from here...

That darned firmware drove me crazy for a full day! I wonder how Linksys releases these firmwares without fully testing them.

I have been lucky enough to have no buggy firmware except in the eailer versions not the higher ones.

Oh OK. I think the SX41 is finicky when it comes to firmware versions. The WRT54G is like that also. I've installed and setup plenty of those and they like to give me fits also...
