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:

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?
