Have you clarified that the LAN IP and the port forward target IP match?

No, I'll check that.

that's odd.  I went to check on the internet connection properties, and There's nothing even in there!  I could've swore I put them in there.

That didn't solve the problem.  I wonder what the problem is.

Modem Router. You only ported the router. Which is useless without a modem.Theres 2 doors of security. Your router was told by you. Port 32000-32800 Are OK to pass. But the modem that connects you to the internet Still has no clearence. The router doesnt connet to the Internet. It connects to the modem . The router connects to devices on a LAN connection. The modem connects to the IP. Giving you internet acess.

I wish I knew how I did it before.
we share port forwarding lives =P
I never port fwd for v9, i hosted. I port fwd for v10+ just never worked again..

Do you even know what the hell you're talking about?

You don't need to forward a modem. I've never even heard of such a step.
I have a router-modem in one. All I had to do was forward the router and it works.

Please don't help if you don't know what you're talking about.

Enterprise, a few quick googles and I found that your "modem" is a router-modem.
It is physically impossible to port forward on a straight modem (unless using a dial up connection where extremely little work is required). A normal modem contains no kind of firewall equivilent.

Annoying Orangeet I would suggest following Wedges link if you are sure you have port forwarded correctly, it is a very good guide.

Alright, I'll try it.

There's something I never understood though.  what to put as my static IP adress. My Ip is 192.168.0.3, and I put my static as 192.168.0.30.  Is that a good way to put the static ip as?
