Hi

I am implementing a P2P application which should be accessible from the internet. I am using UPnP to forward my local port on the NAT. Means the scenario is,

PC -----> (private IP) NAT (public IP) ------>Internet

The NAT setting are showing me required port mapping, means I can successfully add an entry with UPnP (miniupnpc) but its not opening a port at the router.

So now after opening a listening socket at local machine and port forwarding, I am not able to cannect via TCP socket to the NAT public ip:forwarded.port, It give me connection timeout. Its not loopback error, I tried with a separate internet line, but still its giving timeout.

thanks

Nobody can help you without more details :
What is the OS of your PC ? Does it have some firewall software installed ?
What is your router ?

Have you tried to use some other UPnP enabled software ? (P2P client client or chat software etc.)

Hi
I figured it out what the problem was. Actually I was using my company domain login and user group firewall policy was blocking all my requests by default despite of open ports at my local firewall. I run the code outside my company domain and it works fine.

Thanks
