Hi, I have an Airtel broadband connection unfortunately fibre is still not available in my area. Routher is D-Link DSL-224, I am trying to forward few ports but it does not seem to work, I remember it being a very straight forward process, I went to the router setting page and went to port forwarding section and forwarded the port i desired but when i check online on a port forwarding website i find these ports still closed. you can see the screenshot of my port forwarding configuration.
EDIT : it looks like the problem is only with port 80. I wonder if it is Airtel blocking it or something to do with router.

+1 even i have the exact same modem. all ports get forwarded except port 80. bridging doesnot seem to help as well.

After a lot of deliberations and confirmations, I came to know Airtel blocks port 80 for dynamic ip subscribers due to "security" reasons. as soon as a static ip was assigned for my connection, port 80 opened automatically.
