Any luck for you yet? I also have a MW1122 and I managed to successfully
open up some pinholes for www and ssh and smtp, yet suddenly this morning
the www and ssh pinholes just stopped working. This made it very difficult
for me to do anything about since I am in Hamilton and I am trying to
connect to our server in Auckland, with only the smtp port working!
In the end I got one of our workers in Auckland to turn the MW1122 off and
on a few times (taking about 5 minutes to restart each time) and eventually
the SSH pinhole came back up, but I still can't get the www pinhole to work.
The MW1122 web page shows that the pinhole is setup correctly, but it just
doesn't work.
I finally got hold of Jetstream faults (after 2 days) and asked for a M11
instead, but they only have 20 left in the country with no more ordered. So
they are going to send a tech to replace the MW1122 with another one to see
if that fixes the problem. The person I talked to from faults admitted that
they are having heaps of problems with these modems, but there is no
alternative yet..

Bring on the ability to buy our own modems!!

%-> Are you trying to play a "Realm" game, or an "Open" game? In either
%-> case, Diablo 2 works fine for me without any special configuration on
%-> the M11. Realm games use TCP to connect to a server while Open games use
%-> peer-to-peer UDP. Their UDP protocol is NAT compilant, however as with
%-> "Starcraft" you can only have one client running at a time behind the
%-> M11. With a realm game however, you can have as many simultanious
%-> players on your LAN as your bandwidth and bank account will permit ;-)

Thanks - I'm trying to play what they call a TCP/IP game. The Blizzard site
says to open TCP/4000 for incoming and outgoing connections, but I can't
seem to do that.

Will try opening up UDP as well, although the site says TCP should be
enough.
