Hi. I had an old linksys router running DDWRT. I bought a new Asus RT-N16 and finally set it up. I had to just duplicate the settings by hand as you cannot back them up across different hardware models even though both are running DDWRT.
I hooked up the new router and everything was working great, until I decided to check one of my port forwards. Turns out its not working, I can't connect through my DynDNS assigned dns name. Assuming I configured something wrong, I compared the settings of the two routers. Nothing interesting, it is set up right.
From there I decided to just hook the old router up, assuming I overlooked something. So I mess around with all the cables, and then, to my surprise, IT STILL DIDN'T WORK.
A few points of interest:
Any ideas? This is starting to drive me nuts.

A few points of interest:
- My Static IPS are set up right. My server has the proper IP
- My home IP did not change. DynDns has the right IP.
- I rebooted all the network equipment and server... just for the hell of it.
- I tried changing a port forward to point to my main PC and that failed too.
Any ideas? This is starting to drive me nuts.
