O2 wirelessbox port problems

loki · 22-09-2008, 21:16

I am trying to open up two ports on the O2 Wireless box but am encountering some problems. The specific ports are 6112 & 30275 for Company of Heroes. I do the port forwarding for the correct device on the network.

Yet when I try and connect to an online game, nothing happens. So I have done a port scan and they all show that the ports appear to be closed. I don't think there is an option to put the computer into the DMZ either. As far as I am aware, the O2 Wireless Box is a modified Thompson TG585.

Any suggestions

If they show closed then it probably means that the ports have been forwarded to your box, but nothing is listening on those ports.

Get yourself a cat5 cable and connect your machine to your O2 wirelessbox. Login with the username SuperUser and password: O2Br0ad64nd and you can then add the mac address of your machine to the DMZ.

The O2 Firmware is horribly limited, i'm contemplating a new router again, my old one was just crap, this one is far better technically, with much better signal and stability but the firmware is just so basic it's annoying.
