I got a router and now i can't host drafts using idraft. I used port forwarding for appr and have no trouble hosting apprentice games.
Anyone have any ideas?

It is in the guides, anyway open the port 5253 as that is the port the others will connect to you trough..

I'm not having the problem with netdraft its my router settings. I used to host drafts before i got the router and now i can't. I have disabled my firewall . i think the problem is what name i use for idraft when I set up portforwarding. for example i had to name apprentice "Appr1 " in order to host games on apprentice. I just wondered if anyone else had a similar problem and what their solution was

Well, if you think it is router specific, then you might wanna take a look at www.portforward.com, or else call the company that sold you your router, or call the helpdesk of the manufacturer of the router.
As a last resort, you might also want to read the manual.
