Port mapping trouble

Dorstlesser's picture

Hi all,

I had to reinstall SoulseekQT, and had to setup port forwarding again. I've done it a couple of times and have not had any problems, but for some reason I just can't get it to work now; I feel like a n00b. My browser isn't listed in any of the port forwarding guides, and I was hoping you guys could help me.

I've got a screenshot for you right here:

I checked that the local IP address is indeed my PC and not my phone, the ports are the ones SoulseekQT booted with (2235 - 2236). I lumped the ports together in one entry here, but I also tried the same with them separated in two entries.

I tried entering either as the LAN port and the other as the Public port.

Still, when I check ports, Soulseek tells me the ports are closed.

Anybody any idea what could be going on here?

Thanks in advance!

Are your ports open on both router and gateway?

Sorry for maybe the silly question, but I'm really new to this... Can I open my internet provider gateway by myself or do I need to call them to ask?
