|  Are UDP packets blocked?
I am a programmer that uses acanac's network on DSL.
I am currently programing a BlackBerry application that thoroughly uses UDP packets.
My server (a DOS box) is on port 7180, it is bound to my Intranet IP address (192.168.1.X). My client, a BlackBerry simulator, is on the same machine, bound to the same Intranet IP address, but on port 3000. It sends some UDP packets to the server using its public IP address (so going to acanac's network and back). When it comes back to my router, I have a port forwarding rule for both ports 7180 and 3000. The messages bound for port 7180 get there, but the ones for port 3000 comes little by little (maybe one message every minute although one is sent every second).
Is there something I am missing? |

| I will address your question to the tech ppl.
If you need more detailed follow-up, please register here in DSLreports and send me an Instant Message (IM) - I will need some other info about your tests (are you on static IP service etc.)
Thanks

The port settings should be the same; Acanac Network does not block any port traffic.
The UDP should be ok.
Maybe your router is trying to be too smart  |

some routers do not forward correctly ports to internal computer (like your are trying to do), especially for UDP ports...
your problem has nothing to do with your Internet connection or your ISP...
even if your router does its job to forward ports correctly, your test does not even go on the Internet because your trying to connect from an internal computer to an other internal computer. |
