A while ago, I got Maptools servers working on my PC, so I could host a game. Now, when I come to try again, I get the error message telling me my computer couldn't be seen from the internet. I have not changed any of the options since it last worked, and I believe I have correctly enabled port forwarding and let the ports through my firewalls, though I am willing to double check this. My router is a NETGEAR DG834.

Ed: By using UPnP I can connect from the same PC now, but I am still having port forwarding issues, despite telling my router to allow the MapTools port through.

Have you checked any firewall software running on your PC, in addition to the router? Since you're getting errors even connecting locally, this sounds like a likely issue.

I have a Windows Firewall (Vista) and a McAfee Firewall, and have, I believe, told both of them to allow Maptools access, but if you have any advice on how to configure these I'd appreciate it.

Bump. I have changed the original information, so I thought there might be slightly more help out there, since port forwarding is now my only issue.
