No Reply (with a twist)

[Letherian]

Ok, I am having a minor problem with the TS server that I am running. I have it all setup correctly and have port forwarding on (behind a router). The problem I am having is that, unless I reset my router every morning, some clients get the "no reply" message. Once I reset the router, they get right in. Now, this wouldn't be a very confusing troubleshoot...except, I have other clients that get in regardless of if the router is reset or not.

So...to break it down further.

Client A - connects 24/7 with no problems
Client B - gets "no reply" -- router reset -- connects no problem

I've tried every possible troubleshoot I can think of and the one thing I am actually leaning towards is that my router is blocking certain clients (members) because it is interpreting their packets sent as an attack. When the router is rebooted, it removes the blocks. Anyone having a similiar problem or know of a work-around?

I currently have my router set to disregard pings from WAN. Does the client send a ping out first? That still wouldn't explain why some people get in without a problem and others can only get in when the router is reset.

Btw, router is a D-Link Dl624

Thanks in advance for any help y'all can provide.

Router Firmware up to date?

What os's are the clients running?

[Letherian]

The majority say they are running XP SP2

It's also probably helpful if I mention that they themselves don't change anything. Once the router is reset they can connect with no problems. This leads me to believe that it isn't a problem on their side, but perhaps something to do with my router.

Router firmware is up to date. I just made sure of that yesterday.

Routers can have a problem of being tempremental

My DG834GT had a fit of not letting anyone on MSN/trillian, until the internet had been disconnected and reconnected, or the router restart

It fixed itself, which isnt much help to you....
