I have recently got the 2MBit package from flow, and I have their modem hooked up to a router, so that more than one PC can use the internet.

However when I open some ports to allow outside connections, they don't seem to be getting through. I have tried another router with the same problem. I seems like Flow is blocking all inbound connections.

Is anyone else having the same problem?

I have opened up the ports used by P2P app on my router.
No problems here.

Flow is very intermittent and has been so for at least a week.

At 8:44 AM today Flow dropped off again.

At 8:46 AM I went back to TSTT DSL and it never dropped off since.

I did call Flow and their support seems keen but not methodical. They didn't even know who I was or my location. They didn't even ask if I was using a router or direct to PC. I had to volunteer the router information. They still don't know my name or location.

Sad.

I don't think Flow is ready for prime time.

Sad.

My Mistake , the problem was not with Flow but with my windows server.

I thought windows would be clever enough to respond to the gateway that a request came from, but its not. If you have two gateways on your network, and configured in windows, it will still just respond back to the first one.

However I am having speed problems with flow, sometimes its up to the full 2Mb/s but at the moment its down to 50Kb/s....same as dial up!

Your only mistake is thinking that windows server is a real server operating system. That is a common misconception these days.
