Title: Port Forwarding or Port Triggering​.
Post by: bijan on July 14, 2010, 11:22:10 AM

Hi,

For a long time I have been using port forwarding to run my NT Webservers and it has worked fine. One of my installations is losing the port forwarding. If I go to linksys web program and re-save the forwarding it works. It stops working again after a few hours.I talked to Linksys and the support guy says I should use port triggering instead.

Which one should we use?

Regards

Bijan

Given that you are not making an _outbound_ connection, I'm not sure how port triggering applies.

Are you having to re-enter the port-forwarding parameters into your router? Sounds like a router issue to me.

But hey give it a try, maybe it works for you.

cheers

Hi Bruce:

When I go to port forwarding page in the router settings everything is there. Once I save the page it works ok(for a while). I read somewhere the only way to resolve this type of  issue is to reset the router to default settings and re-enter the forwarding data. I have to ask their network guy to do it.
