Can Connect Direct Only with Windows Firewall Disabled
Posted: Sun Feb 01, 2015 6:47 pm
Hi, all.
I've poked a pinhole in my gateway and my friend can log in from outside my LAN with no problem. Tried to connect on this side of the gateway and I couldn't from a laptop, so I added a port to Windows Firewall and tried again. Timeout.
Trying to isolate, I turned off the Windows Firewall and it worked without issue. I've tried adding a rule for inbound and outbound for 51234, but still no dice.
I'm running Windows 7.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
