Hello, I'm completely new to these forums and I apologize if this thread is in the wrong place. If it is, could a moderator please move it to the appropriate section? Thank you.
I recently got a Linksys BEFSR41 ver 4.3 router for Christmas since we're moving and I did not want wireless internet. The router is on my brother's computer in his room, and everything is hooked up fine. I play Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, and need ports 6112 to 6119 enabled for my computer in order to host (create) games. I went through everything, logged in the router with admin/admin, found the appropriate things, made everything as it should be so I (should) be able to host. I clicked save and after that, it said Settings successful, and the next screen went back to how it looked before I enabled the ports.
I thought maybe it just cleared it incase I wanted to do something else, so I tried to host on my computer and it did not let me. There are no firmware upgrades for the Linksys BEFSR41 ver 4.3 router. I heard something about heat issues, so I stood it up instead of laying it on it's side (yesterday) and it did not change anything. I am completely clueless as to what to do now. Could anybody who has gone through something similar, and has found a solution, please help? Thank you.
edit: I forgot to mention that I did try resetting the router, and that I'm not on the Active Security Monitoring network, though that seems to be for security monitoring only, would I be incorrect if I said that wouldn't make a difference?
