I am trying to help my uncle setup his computer to connect to MP3 Rocket. It used to work and then he reset his modem. Not sure why he reset his modem but anyway. I have enabled UPnP but the software will not connect. I have disabled his Windows Firewall but that didn't help. I have found an article on how to enable port forwarding but no luck. There has to be something that I am missing. I am confused by the two different ports on the Advanced tab. What is the difference between the two? Also this used to work until he reset his modem. I suspect that disabled UPnP but I have re-enabled it. I would appreciate any help on this issue.
