DMZ and Port Forwarding Still not working after being set up correctly

Post#1 » Tue Aug 03, 2021 5:00 am

TL;DR DMZ is set up with the correct IP, Ports are forwarded correctly. Still cannot host Alien Front games or Worms World Party games.

Every other game works perfectly fine and I have zero idea what to do at this point because I believe I have done everything correctly. If anyone knows what steps to take for fixes please let me know, I would greatly appreciate it!

I want to join you guys on these game nights!

DMZ and port forwarding? You want to do one or the other, not both. Or are you saying you have DMZ and you know traffic is getting through?

I'm saying both methods are not working regardless if one or the other is set up correctly

You'll really need to provide more information for anyone to be able to help you. Like what ISP you have, what brand and model your modem and router are, and maybe screenshots of the DMZ / PF config pages.

The modem is probably your issue. I assume it's probably a modem/router combo which means you have a double NAT with your Netgear router. You'll need to either disable the routing capabilities of the modem or DMZ from the XFi to the IP of the Netgear.

Is it possible then for me to just put the DMZ down on the modem/router from XFI and then put it on the router to properly passthrough?

You should have everything on the same subnet (all devices have the same first 3 parts of the address the same. 192.168.1.x for example) and have one device doing DHCP. For the easiest fix, I would suggest putting the netgear in access point mode and let the Xfi do DHCP. Then assuming the modem has DMZ, you would set it up there. If everything is on the same subnet there is no need to daisy chain DMZ.
