Port forwarding not working FAST5464 2.00

[g0rsq]

Just been upgraded to full fiber with a new router, but can not set port forwarding on the router.

I want to set a basic FTP server as i occasionally share large files and this is the most effective way of doing it. My old SKY router worked perfectly.

I get an error "Operation could not complete. Something wrong happened."

It doesn't matter what I set in the port forwarding settings, always the same message.

(Games and applications also does not allow port forwarding!)

I would put my SKY router back, but need the phone connection (could use my VOIP adapter if I had the settings)

What am i doing wrong?

Hi @g0rsq 

I have just tried this with my router set on 192.168.11.100 & once again it worked first time. Are you sure that you do not have any port forwarding rules set elsewhere on the router for TCP port 21? If not please perform a factory reset of the router.

Hi @g0rsq 

@Michelle-TalkTalk has asked me to help you. This worked first time (I have tested loads of ports and on some different subnets) for me. I am using the same hardware & firmware revisions as you, but not the same subnet. Let me try the 192.168.11.0 subnet & I will come back to you.

Good afternoon,

Would you be able to offer any advice please? @KeithFrench 

Thanks
