Dear all,

just been messing about with my router adding some ports/deleting old etc and found:

MVP Control for ports 8300..8337

and

MVP Stream for ports 5900..5906

still use MVP's but are these still relevant? (Think they've been there for a long long time)

Cheers

Steeb

My first question is why are bothering with this? The internal LAN side of the router is typically left open plus the fact that you use multiple MVP's today which use many more ports than those, show me that the firewall isn't doing anything to help you.

Thanks Martin

Exactly what I wondered! I think it was from some strange set up I had ages ago. Something to do with this thread or one like it:

Now that is a long time ago Smile

Good, 'twas what I thought that they served no purpose but wanted to check!

Cheers

Yes, looking carefully at the linked post 2 I can see where the misinformation came from.
