Grrrr. Telus blocking all ports?

This was with the latest firmware as of this February.

Hi Tim,

Well yes that would make sense, however upon the 1st login to the router, you will be prompted to change the password, so even though its readily over the web just like any other router and their information (which is also on the net)... only issue here is to actually change the passwords for all the login usernames as well.

Well I actually got it all working without bridging the router, so if anyone has any questions I will most likely be able to answer them.

Now next issue, the email forwarding doesn't seem to work. Created a GMX account and all but it will not send emails out, any ideas on how that can be fixed?
