Port Forwarding Issues

Title: Port Forwarding Issues

Version: 3.1.2

OS: Wndows 7 Home Premium 64 bit

Java Version: 1.6.x

Description of Problem:

I have a tekkit server that I play on with a few friends, and have recently started port forwarding. My router is a Linksys WRT160Nv2. I can connect myself, and so can my friends, but after a certain amount of time playing, they get disconnected and can't rejoin the game. If they wait a while, they can eventually rejoin. I am almost 100% certain I have port forwarded correctly, as they have at least been able to join. I was thinking it may have been a change in external IP, but I've checked and it hasn't changed. Any suggestions/advice?

That particular router looks like it has some problems dropping connection with some of the older firmware. See what version your firmware is and patch it if necessary.

Well I updated the firmware, and the installation failed. Now I have to buy a new router, as I have tried everything to fix it. The new firmware is corrupt and I cant access the router to roll back. Thanks for trying though.

you can still access the flash hardware through tftp2. It's not bricked yet. make sure you pulled the right firmware for your router tho!

More information is here, but I don't like their presentation much.

This is a GUI for the program, it's easier to use: Draytek's router tools

you need the password, the ip, and the password (reset router for defaults, it's in the instructions above)
