Default

Test Page was a success!

BUT

Received incoming this session: false

STILL!!!!!!

i have set static ip (on LAN--WANip is dynamic)
" " " fowarded port 6346
" " " opened port 6346 through firewalls (router + ZA expert rules)
" " " forced ip
ect...ect...ect...ect..........
i have searched/studied this forum/ router help pages/ ect... for weeks w/o solution.
LW works ok now as shielded leaf but needs a couple DAYS to REALLY heat up and i'm a compulsive rebooter.
i know my system VERY well to be only a selftaught wannabe PCguru. this "Old Dog" IS learning new tricks lol.
i did find a broadband forum whose users on my ISP accuse them of blocking ports and of course my ISP denies this.
i hope in the near future to serve my own webpage so i wonder about port 80 too...
SSSSOOOOOO.......:

Q1: does Test Page test only outgoing port?

Q2: does/would/could ISPs block ports incoming yet leave same port outgoing open?

Q3: can "Yall here" point me to utilities and/or net services (repudible yet pref. free) that will list all my open/closed ports so i can find alternates for this and future needs?
my skills include setting up a noncritical boot part/OS to run w/in routers DMZ for these (Q3) tests but such a hassle i want only once so comprehensive tests are a must.

Q4: please suggest workable alternate ports that i can try, i saw a post here somewhere but lost it.
Q4b: can i get ultrapeer status (my goal) using alt ports? i think so but...
Q4c: since outgoing 6346 is working will changing just the incoming port do the job? refer to Q4b above.

last resort i have to try "The Proxy Solution" , hard to trust that guy though lol.

thank u for all the help already found and to come.
