Hi I'm getting the UDP ports blocked message. I've tried a bunch of things (below) to fix it but I'm now stuck. I'm using windows 10 via a wired nowtv router.
1) I added both incoming and outgoing rules to windows defender firewall for UDP
2) I went to the router settings (NowTV - UK) and added an inbound rule to allow all UDP to a pratucular IP (that's all it would let me do). I set the destination IP to be the dynamic IP address allocated by the router to the laptop on the wired connection (determined using the ipconfig command), and "Access from" to "Any".
I'm not sure what else to try. Any suggestions?Do I need to redirect ports in the router to the computer? If so which one(s)?
Thanks
Derek
