I recently set up my PC as a vent server and was able connect to it with the same PC just fine. However, people outside of my network cannot connect to it and the Ventrilo server status tool on their website also fails to connect to it.
The appropriate port (3784 is the default for vent) forwarded to my internal IP in the router settings. However, when I try any port checker, they all fail to connect through that port as well as any other port I specify as forwarded to my internal IP. So basically while my router is telling me they are being forwarded, nothing is getting through to me. I have a suspicion that my modem is causing these issues, but I am not sure how to address them.
QWEST is my ISP and my modem is a Zyxel PK5000Z that connects directly to the router and no other devices. My router is a ASUS RT-N16 running DD-WRT eko/Brainslayer build 15693.
Any help with how to troubleshoot this and get everything working would be appreciated.
