Thanks A couple of things may have happened: Internal LAN IP address of your computer is changed, so your router is trying to forward incoming traffic on DCS port to another device. Your computer now has a Firewall settings that is blocking DCS incoming traffic. ( I strongly recommend everyone to put the exception by manually add TCP and UDP port, and don't use program exception) Your router doesn't have anymore the port forward rules. It may occurs ( especially if you're using the router provided by your ISP ) after some power loss/restore cycle, or remote update, that the router itself resets its own default settings, removing your manual port forward. Again... I strongly recommend to manually port forward rules on your router and don't relies on stupid things like uPNP.
