Does anyone have an ISP providing DHCP dynamic IP's via the LAN?

This is the first time I have used an ISP with this set-up. Works fine.....but.....whatever I do I just cannot Port Forward to open my 21000 port for IL-2.

I have read almost every entry on Google....tried the usual application of Static IP procedure (successful) and also MAC binding available through my router.....but just cannot get the port to open.

I have e-mailed my ISP to see if this port is being blocked for some reason...but other than that I cannot think of anything else to try.

Anyone any ideas before I put this on the Ubizoo?

I found the problem!

I'm behind a second router at the ISP terminal and to which I'm not allowed access. It appears this ISP restricts P2P (hosting)

Since this is not in the contract, I'm going to try and get them to release port 21000 to my IP. If not....I'm in for another change of ISP!

Unbelievable!

All is fixed and my ISP has opened port 21000 at their end.....I have updated the standby server details in the CfC server post above.
