Not entirely sure whether it's a router or ISP issue. I've opened ports 8080, 21 and 22 on my linksys running the latest dd-wrt and setup a DDNS account with no-ip.com inorder to remotely access my router and FTP server. The problem is it works intermittently, I'd restart the router to see if the problem is fixed, but the ports show they are closed while using the online port checker, then they start working a day or 2 after. The problem isn't just limited to the DDNS, I've been trying to open ports 2302-2304 for the last week to no avail.
I did it both manually and through UPNP which still showed that the ports were closed and no one could join my server. I only need to host this game server a couple of hours or so, so there should be no need for a dedicated line.
I've already went through all the troubleshooting:
- Made sure the PC's IP was static
- Double checked the port forwarding setup page that it is enabled to both UDP and TCP
- Disabled the Block anonymous ping through WAN option
- Disabled firewall on both the PC and router
- The DSL modem is in bridge mode, so there is no risk in double NAT
- Contacted Ogero and they informed me that they do not block any ports
I've attached screenshots of my setup if anyone is interested:

Would appreciate any help on this!
