Hey, atiredoldguy
Ive been running into you a lot on the forums lately. Looks like we are both having the same type of issues. I am curious, is your ISP, by any chance, Comcast? I only ask because, after several attempts to re-achieve the open NAT, I ran my Network Monitoring System here at home, and noticed that my connection would go from a 90%, to 80%, to 90%, then a 55%, before returning to 90%. This is a cycle that repeated itself numerous times in a 5min period. Ive got the router+modem setup, and usually have no issues. Lately, its been crapsville for my connection.
