Hello. Let´s see if I find help..
In Wormnet 1, inside Wa, when i click over a channel to try to join it, nothing happens for about 1 minute until a "WormNet connection terminated" error appears and I can only exit... (I can see everybody who is online, but I can not join channels...)
Before of posting here I have been whole day searching in forums, reading similar problems and trying a lot of things...
Of course I have actived and deactived all... Firewalls, exceptions.. open ports, etc, etc..
I even have deactivad fully firewall of Windows and in router I have set my local ip in a DMZ Host (this is, all ports were forwarded to that local ip), but it doestn´t work...
I´ll try to give you all data I can for you can help me better (and I will "pre-answer" all your possible future questions...):
I almost could ensure the guilty is my ISP or router, cause I have tested in different hard diskes with different OS (Windows 7 and Windows XP) and same happens. Besides, this same pc, in another house, with different router and ISP, connects without problems... (And about 4 years ago, I had these same problem in another house with this same ISP (and I think it was same router too...)
(Well, the problem really wasnt exactly same. In those years, I remember I could join channels only sometimes... [almost every times could not and very very very few times could] [it was weird...] and when not joining, none message appears, just nothing happened... but this probably is due to the new version...)
But well, let´s come back to present (nowadays it never join) and to go on with the issue:
Router is Webstar Scientific-Atlanta EPR2320R2, and ISP is ONO (Spain)
(Have anyone of you this router?) (Ono and that router is one the most populars in Spain, it would be easy to find a player that uses it... Unfortunately, currently there are not many Spanish players active..., Anyways, I´ll ask in their forums...)
If it helps, I have to say that I have read in forums a lot of spanish users (no wormers) of this router and ISP talking about they cannot connect to irc channels of some games, etc... (It seems people says this ISP don´t allow users to access to advanced options in router...)
Here is the mainly options that I can set in router, (and I really think I've tried almost everything..., I have checked and unchecked and made a lot of combinations...)

For example, "Wan Blocking", "Block Fragmented IP Packets", "IP Flood Detection and "Firewall Protecion" was activated... I deactivated them one by one with the heart full of hope, but nothing happened...
And here is the main menu. I have looked inside of each section, but I actually don´t see nothing relevant...

Any suggestion?
I also have tested "telnet wormnet1.team17.com 6667" and all is fine: i see black screen and then that error message that means all is fine (i was learning this in another threads...)
And I have also saved a "packets log", according to this tutorial http://worms2d.info/Recording_a_packet_log (I attach the file in this message)
I also have to say that only way I have found that I can connect in channels is ONLY using ProSnoopperFx (it´s the only snooper that allows me, the rest of them give me problems, including Wheat Snooper) and here I can join games and play, but if I host, my game doesn´t appear in channel... (however, I have tested that my game is joinable using this: http://www.canyouseeme.org/)
I wish some expert like Cybershadow could help me..., maybe setting router...
If problem goes on, I´m thinking of calling my isp..., or buying another router...
Oh, I was forgeting to say something that I think it´s important: I have just tested if I can join channels in Wwp (wormnet 2), and I CAN. it´s exactly same that was happening several years when I had this problem in the another house (with same router and isp. I think I never solved the problem... cause I left Worms a little time after that and besides I played more wwp in that time and so I didn´t care much..., or maybe I moved to another house in that moment... I don´t actually remember it..)
Why is this? Maybe cause and WA uses 6667 and Wwp uses 6677? (btw, is this right?). I don´t see another difference..., but well, I am a ignorant...
I guess I should set port 6667 in something like "outgoing" (instead forwarding="insiding") (I dunno if this I am telling it´s an aberration). And how am I supposed to set this? Just calling my Isp?
PD: Sorry for my english. I hope you could understand all what I wanted to explain. Let´s see if someone can help me....
PD2: A very post long... I know..., but I think on this way people will be able to help me better...
Thanks and regards.
