Port Forwarding -All ports shown as "Stealth"

I am unable to get ourtside services to see my computer. I have an ADSL
modem/router configured as a "bridge" feeding into a wireless+4xethernet
router, with one ethernet port going to my computer, and the wireless port
going to my wife's laptop. We have never had full networking, since her
intersts and mine don't overlap.

I have port forwarding for Ports 80 (Web server) 25 (Mail Server) P2P and
VOIP. According to a scan at "Shields Up!", all the first 1056 ports come
up as stealth. My servers are not visible. EchoLink (a Ham program using
VOIP) can receive a station list, but can't connect to the test server (the
necessary ports have been forwarded.)

Any suggestions please? I rather suspect that it is due to having the modem
in two stages.

Your ISP may be blocking them.

There is a work around for Echolink ... a public proxy:

You didn't provide a lot of detail about your configuration BUT
consider:

- You set up port forwarding in your router but is the firewall on
your linux machine blocking the traffic?

- Does your Linux machine get a static IP address from the router, so
that it is always the correct destination of the router forwarding
rules?

- In your router forwarding rules did you forward TCP as well as UDP
traffic?

Good luck!

Thanks. That may be so. They used to work on this setup but only for a
while.

Can you see the web server from your wife's computer? That's a good
starting point. If you can't see it from your local network then you
won't be able to see it from outside. What about from the host computer?
Make sure that things are actually running (netstat -tl). You also need
to make sure that you don't have any firewall settings on the host
blocking ports. Wireshark and tcpdump are good networking diagnostic
tool, also nmap.
