New router but no hosting joy

A single berserk reached us yesterday, after having come all the way over the mountains from the city of Willow, fourteen hundred miles away. He delivered to Alric a single package the size of a man's fist, wrapped in rags, and refuses to talk with anyone about events in the West.

Anyone see something about the settings in this screen cap that would not permit hosting myth games?

Are you sure the internal IP of the hosting computer is what is listed for that port forwarding service? Your router might have given your computer a different internal IP from the one you used with the old router. If you are sure the IP is correct then there could be other router settings that are interfering. When you edit the service what kind of options are there?

Yeah it looks reasonable other than the ".99" seems likely to be a DHCP-assigned address, which may change each time the computer/router is powered on or similar. You'll want to either use "reserved DHCP addresses" to ensure that your machine always gets assigned the right IP, or use a static IP on the relevant machine.
