    Not really as you haven't really provided much information.
    You tried portforwarding - what steps did you take?
    A netopia router - which model?

    With the 2247NWG Netopia I find you have to set the firewall to Low, set up a static NAT pointing to the device you need forwarded (presumably your XBox or whatever) and then forward your port.

    There may be other details that need changing if using the router on Vodafone, I don't know.

    pretty much what you said in your post.
    point it my Desktop , went to portforward.com and got each of the ports and settings required for the games I use , added each of these and the Enabled them.

    and reboot router just to be sure to be sure . verified ports were open , pass.
    Firewall was set to low at the time , but still came up connection timed on PC

    went back in to router , disabled firewall , saved setting , alt-tab back into game refreshed servers and it connected first go.

    ah I shall just redo it all again this evening and try and see if i missed something.
