Keith, I checked my router, and I only have TCP/9000 forwarded to my ratflector. ? No need to forward UDP. ?Setting it as a service should be fine. ?Is the option to "block access from the internet" related to the port forwarding rule our could it be for remote management of the router? ?If it is related to the forwarding rule (if you can check it or uncheck it for different rules) it definitely needs to be unchecked.

It's my router. Has to be. It's a Motorola Netopia 2247-62-100t
Iv'e forwarded TCP ports 9000 and 9001 in the NAT settings area, under custom services under my laptops static ip address running the repeater. The laptops ip address shows in the list of computers to foreward to so I know thats correct.
I had the option of setting it as a service or a game. I did both.
I enabled "allow server hosting" and "block access from internet".
The only thing I didn't do was set a UDP. If I tried it said it overlapped a TCP setting using the same ports.
I'm pretty much at my wits end for tonight.
It's got to be my router somehow.
