I've spent the better part of a few hours learning how to port forward on my Uverse 3800 HGV-B router, and I really think I'm doing everything correctly.

Except.... that it's not working.

I went into Settings>Firewall>Apps,Pinholes,DMZ and then selected my Mac. I added a user-defined application that opens port 16000 UDP so I can host on the gaming service GameRanger, and saved it.

I then went to a number of sites (canyouseeme.org, yougetsignal.com) and then typed in port 16000, but the connection either times out on the former, and on the latter it says that the port is closed. I have no firewall on my computer.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I feel like I hit a brick wall.
