[Dxspider-support] Port forwarding issue on a Netgear router

[Bob Nielsen]

Thanks for the reply Tony.

I did set up the router to forward port 7300 but it does not work.  I have contacted Netgear support and they are looking into the problem.  I found that there is an unofficial version of DD-WRT firmware available for this model and may try that if they can't resolve it.  In the meantime, I will switch back to my older Linksys router today, since it was forwarding the port successfully.  The DHCP server on that router is a bit flakey, which is why I bought the new router, but I can live with that by resetting the router periodically.
