Firewall needs switching off everyday

I'm sick of the Superhub now. In order for me to play Minecraft hosting my own little private server, I have to switch off the router firewall or no one can connect. I switch it off in the GUI leaving the Windows Firewall on, and it works until the next day, no one can connect, yet the firewall is supposedly switched off in the GUI. Ticking, applying and unticking the firewall box fixes the issue for another day.

Anyone know why? It's really annoying me, I can't use another router of my own due to space restrictions.

Why not just forward the relevant ports?

Switch off routing on the Superhub and use your own router?

Re: Firewall needs switching off everyday

it most likely a port issue ill havea check i dnt mean with yoru settings mean with some things i have access to

---------- Post added at 16:03 ---------- Previous post was at 16:01 ----------

can you confirm if you have forwarded both tcp and udp port 25565 to the i of the computer with the minecraft server?

if so is it dynamic or have you set a static ip?
