3600HGV will not forward ports for Steam or Battlefield 2!
Manufacturer 2Wire, Inc.
Model 3600HGV
Hardware Version 2700-100727-008
Software Version 6.3.7.42-plus.tm
DSL Modem 3.73 SW:9_158_16_100526
I've tried everything to make this RG forward ports - it refuses to open the following ports for BF2 and Steam:
UDP 1500-4999
UDP 16567
UDP 27900
UDP 29900
TCP 4711
TCP 27901
TCP 28910
TCP 29900
TCP 299
UDP 27000-27015
UDP 27015-27030
TCP 27014-27050
TCP 27015
UDP 3478
UDP 4379
UDP 4380
I've used UV Realtime and Nmap (Zenmap GUI) to confirm whether the ports are opened or not. Just doesn't do it! I was able as a last resort to get eMule to run it's port test (UDP/TCP) and connect to an external site during it's Wizard - odd!
I'm ready to return this RG to AT&T - clearly the firmware is in error here or some convoluted configuration. I had a 3800HGV RG at another location and it worked fine - I didn't even need to forward ports!
I've tried connecting hard-wired via a single static IP and DHCP for the PC/laptop that I'm trying to port forward. After some intense debugging, it's not my Apple gear, not Steam but it's that piece of junk 2Wire (now Pace, great!) 3600HGV.
Any suggestions?

2wire routers are not PNP. You will have to manualy go in to the router's firewall section and forward the ports yourself. Should be a sticker on the router with it's ip address and password for you to access it use your browser.

After you forward the ports are you applying that profile to the computer you want them forwarded to?

On an xbox you should not have to forward ports.

Xbox? That may be the case - I'm using Windows XP, Vista64 and OSX desktops/laptops.
Since the last posting, the problem has got deeper...
1) On any browser, I can't see certain web site - even though Google can show it's cached version on it's search page. Stes include www.evga.com, www.provantage.com, www.torqlite.com I've flushed DNS caches on all machines.
2) I've checked my router infront of my 3600HGV is connected LAN to LAN and NOT LAN to WAN!
3) I've reset the Windows software firewall on both XP and Vista to their defaults and made programs prompt when ports are queried.
4) I've tried various multiplayer games on my Vista box to check whether the source of the problem is solely attributed to Steam - NO!
Enemy Territory: Quake Wars - works fine, can interrogate internet play servers.
BF2 - Can't connect to EA servers, password checked.
Game Comrade - Can't connect.
Steam - Can't connect to servers. Uninstalled, clean installed, messed with reg files etc - not working...
Wolfenstein -Can't connect.

FYI - My 3600HGV DHCP configuration is as follows (below) - this is different from the default 3600HGV configuration of 192.168.1.0 / 255.255.255.0
DHCP Configuration - Configure manually
Router Address 192.168.0.5
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
First DHCP Address 192.168.0.25
Last DHCP Address 192.168.0.30
