Problems with Portforwarding on FIOS Router

Prodigism

Was curious if anybody has had this problem before. I noticed that 4 ports that I had portforward had changed in status. Next to Device name/IP adress it says "(unresolved)", while the status of the port forward entry says " Hostname Resolution Failed." I was wondering if anybody has had this problem before, or knows how to fix it? I've tried clicking Resolve Now at the bottom, or deleting the entry and then adding it again, nothing works.

This *might* be happening due to the fact that you did port forwarding based on a device's hostname, rather than it's IP address (or effectively the MAC Address).

Try locating the device that you had set the port forwarding up to originally point to, and using it's IP address instead of the hostname. Ideally, you'll want to make sure this device has either a Static IP on your network, or has a Static DHCP address (also known as a reserved DHCP address).
