I've been trying to debug why VoD on DirecTV has stopped working with
many of the recent CeroWRT releases.  I am not sure at this point that
it ever worked.  As an experiment, I just put a Linksys DIR-655
Wireless N Gigabit Router (factory firmware 1.37) after the cable
modem and VoD is working fine, so I've ruled out the HR-44 box from
DirecTV.  From what I've read, I need to forward Port 1701:

http://forums.comcast.com/t5/Home-Networking-Router-WiFi/opening-port-1701-LT2P-on-a-Netgear-router/td-p/1382983

Here is how I have set it up in CeroWRT but it doesn't seem to be working:

Network | Firewall | Port Forwards

Port Forwards:

Name:  GenieGO

Match:  IPv4-UDP
From any host in wan
Via any router IP at port 1701

Forward to:  IP 172.30.43.20, port 1701 in guest

Enable:  checked

172.30.43.20 is the IP address of my -guest network (to be compatible
with Sony Blu-ray players)

When I attempt to watch/record VoD, DirecTV says there is a problem
with the Internet connection, and eventually throws away the request.

What am I doing wrong?  Did I set the "Internal zone" (as guest)
incorrectly?  Should I have set it to LAN instead?

Hi Jim,

I had trouble with an ATA device not always finding the right path to
the net, and after much head-scratching it turns out that issuing this
command on boot-up (in rc.local) fixed my issue:

/etc/init.d/firewall restart;

Give that a shot?

I tried it at the command line, it didn't make a difference.

I could not get this to work in CeroWRT - it didn't recognize --dport

This is what I have at the end of /etc/config/firewall:

config redirect
        option target 'ACCEPT'
        option src 'wan'
        option src_dport '1701'
        option dest_ip '172.30.43.20'
        option dest_port '1701'
        option name 'DirecTV'
        option proto 'tcp udp'
        option dest '*'

Is this correct?  It still doesn't seem that port forwarding is
working.  Unless this isn't the *only* problem.
