finally I think I got it wright did I do this correctly?

Hello wilkins2010... I can read your image/pic perfectly... good job. After looking at the image/pic (at first glance) it looked as if you were Port Triggering and not Port Forwarding; but after reviewing your particular router here http://www.pcwintech.com/port-forwar...omson-firmware, it seems that you have Port Forwarded correcly... with a few minor edits/changes needed... see below:

Protocol: UDP
Port Range: 9103 - 9103
Translate To ... : 9103
Trigger Protocol: UDP
Trigger Port: 9103

Protocol: UDP
Port Range: 10196 - 10196
Translate To ... : 10196
Trigger Protocol: UDP
Trigger Port: 10196

Protocol: TCP
Port Range: 80 - 80
Translate To ... : 80
Trigger Protocol: TCP
Trigger Port: 80

Protocol: UDP
Port Range: 9100 - 9100
Translate To ... : 9100
Trigger Protocol: UDP
Trigger Port: 9100

Protocol: TCP
Port Range: 3081 - 3081
Translate To ... : 3081
Trigger Protocol: TCP
Trigger Port: 3081

Protocol: TCP
Port Range: 3105 - 3105
Translate To ... : 3105
Trigger Protocol: TCP
Trigger Port: 3105

Protocol: TCP
Port Range: 22350 - 22380
Translate To ... : 22350
Trigger Protocol: TCP
Trigger Port: 22350

Next:
1. Assign a game or application to a local network device"

2. Search for the "test ubi help" application you just created and select it.

3. Choose the device in your network that you want to play "test ubi help" on.

4. When you're done, click "Add"

5. Now you're finally done

I am a little concerned about ports 22350 thru 22380 (this a range of 30 ports) because wer'e translating/forwarding all 30 ports to port 22350 as opposed to opeining all 30 ports... you may end up having to add/create new application definition for each of the 30 ports... but lets not worry about this just yet; first make these edits/changes and we will proceed from there. After youve made these edits/changes, run Simple Port Tester and verify if all these ports are open. If they all test successful, then your ready to play Splinter Cell Conviction online... if not, then we will have to go back to the drawing board and figure out what is wrong.

Good luck.

p.s. DON"T FORGET:
1. when testing these ports with Simple Port Tester use your local IP address and not your external IP address... should look something like 192.168.1.xxx...
2. disable your Windows Firewall as this will block all these ports... you can re-enable your Windows Firewall after you play Splinter Cell Conviction

it doesnt work, this error message comes up. For some reason I could not install a port tester. Did I mention I dont have a MAC but I Windows 7

[wilkins2010]

Thanks a lot stealthplay2012 I managed to stop the crash by changing my graphics settings but I can still not connect to a game. I did the changes you said Green.Hornet (I think). The image here shows how it looks now.

[Green.Hornet]

Hello wilkins2010... you have (had) a couple of problems/issues happening simultaneously (although completely un-related). First, the GPF (general protection fault), as Stealthplay2012 previously mentioned, can be re-solved quite simply by plugging in a microphone or a webcam. Second, according to the last image/pic youv'e posted here, you have Port Forwarded correctly (but i'm still a little concerned about ports 22350-22380; we'll deal with that later). It's imperative that you install Simple Port Tester http://www.pcwintech.com/simple-port-tester and test (verify) if these ports are open or closed... otherwise you will keep spinning your wheels without getting anywhere. Look for any programs/applications loaded on your PC that may be scanning/monitoring/blocking incoming and outgoing traffic via your internet... such as McAffe Internet Security, Symantec Total Internet Security, Windows Firewall etc... these programs are designed to block traffic... you need to either disable them (temporarily while you play) or create inbound/outbound rules for these apps to open the aforementioned ports.

Let me know what the results are after you test these ports.

Good luck.

[wilkins2010]

The test said that only the 80 TCP was succesfully opened

[Green.Hornet]

Hello wilkins2010... Port 80 is open by default; unfortunately this means:

1. The Port Forwarding is not correct; not likely the case as all ports should have tested open/successfull (w/ the possible exception of ports 22350-22380) according to http://www.pcwintech.com/port-forwar...omson-firmware
or
2. There is an application/program on your PC that is monitoring/blocking ports; this is more likely the case... try to disable all your virus/internet security/Windows firewall (process of elimination) and re-test.

I'll be waiting for you to post the results (after youve disabled all internet security) here.

Good luck.

[wilkins2010]

i disabled my anti virus software and windows firewall but it still doesn't work.

[Green.Hornet]

Hello wilkins2010... well, without sitting in front of your PC, Iit's hard for me to pin-point the problem/issue at-hand. But there is another option available... try contacting your Internet Service Provider as they are the ones who provide the modem/router, and explain to them that you have a game that requires specific open ports to play... they should be willing to help walk you through the process of Port Forwarding correctly. It's fairly obvious that we are missing something in the Port Forward web interface. I am terribly sorry that I was un-able to help you open your ports, but I feel I've exhausted all apparent possibilities.

Good luck.
