Hub One Port Forwarding

[#1]

Hi all, I'm looking for help on the hub1 and port forwarding please. I am a member of an online fishing simulator and need port 1808 open, but can't remember what I need to do to get this going.

There's some help here https://community.plus.net/t5/Gaming/Plusnet-Routers-and-Port-Forwarding/td-p/1307971

Thanks for the reply.

I have done that and the ports still seem to be blocked somewhere. I cannot connect to any of the servers, when I try it says 'connection error, make sure the ip address is correct' which it is. Do I have to reboot router to complete the changes?

Well, 5 hours on and still can't open port 1808. Here's what I've done..and the results...screen shot 5 shows port still closed. 

[#5]

is the fishing app running when you test the port is open?

[#6]

Yes it is, The port should be open to allow people who use the simulator to access a server to fish in matches, challenge's etc. and I can't seem to open it to take part. Hence the last shot of a port checker to see it's still closed.

and you're running the online match server?

[#8]

No dvorak..not running it, just trying to get to fish the matches, the server is separate from the simulator, which needs the port open to gain access.

[#9 · Accepted solution]

The port opening is only required if you're running the server.

You shouldn't need to open ports to join a game.

Sorry for late reply, and you are correct. I have been onto the admin/maker of the fishing sim and there was a problem on there side hence I couldn't connect to their server.

Thanks for your help though...and your time.

No worries, I would remove the port opening you have configured in your router now if you don't need it
