This should be easier than it is.
I got the latest RemoteRig pair a few weeks ago, with a K3/0-Mini.
On the LAN network, everything plays together great. The RR boxes are 192.168.2.227 and .228.
I have a Belkin router, and opened ports 13000, 13001 and 13002.
I have a static IP address.
Yet no joy.
I've tried scanning the system from elsewhere on the internet, using a port scanner (
http://www.t1shopper.com/tools/port-scan/ ). In particular, I have it scan the static IP address, at ports 13000-13005. All yield the same result (not responding...)
I then tried putting 192.168.2.228 in the DMZ. Same result.
I then tried shutting off the Belkin router firewall altogether. Same result.
I then realized there's Windows firewall to worry about (I'm running Win7). I disabled it (both Domain Profile, Public Profile, and Private Profile). Same result.
I then realized I have Microsoft Security Essentials running (anti-virus software), so disabled it. Same result.
So I'm stumped. It seems like it shouldn't be this hard - there's probably something simple I'm missing.
One final clue - the router keeps a log of incoming possible attacks. When I attempt the scans of ports 13000-13005 from outside the network, the security log identifies only the probes of ports 13003, 13004 and 13005 as threatening. So it it treating 13000-13002 differently than others. Below is the Belkin log report.

=>Found attack from 208.64.252.230.
Source port is 55309 and destination port is 13003 which use the TCP protocol.

Source port is 43218 and destination port is 13005 which use the TCP protocol.
The only thing I can think of is something on the ISP side. (Yet the attack log indicates the probes of 13000-13002 are getting some respect, somewhere...)
'Suggestions?
