Hub One Port Forwarding

Hi

I've just upgraded from ADSL to fibre and been sent a "Hub One" from plusnet.

I need to access my home NAS when I'm away, so I set up port forwarding to it straight away.  The NAS used to be on a fixed address of its own (not using the DHCP) but I read that sometimes that causes problems so it's now on an IP fixed by the router instead.

With my ADSL connection I could access both the web interface of the NAS and via the built-in FTP server, the rest of the network.  I pay Plusnet for a fixed IP. I checked, and the IP is still being used by the new service.  So far so good.

Shooting for the web interface as a starter, I set up forwarding using the router's services and "HTTP Server" as well as "PPTP server" and even one I labelled "Port 80" just in case. 

Unfortunately when I try to access my fixed IP there's no response.  I tried contacting Plusnet's help but they refuse to get involved. (I'm disgusted by that but that's another matter)

So: Am I doing something wrong?  Could the new router be faulty?  Is the service just not available over fibre?  Could Plusnet have messed something up?

Thanks for any help

 

Andy

Oh bythe way I tried turning the firewall off altogether and still got nothing 😕
