Issue with port forwarding....
FrogFreak:
Yep.
Jerkface:
I need screenshots of key areas for the problems. The area(s) with the errors, and if you have, the successful connection to your router using 192.168.0.1 (or any similar address)

I would say you arent using a static IP address... so every time you restart your computer your IP address has the possibility of changing (depending on network usage). http://portforward.com/networking/static-xp.htm Is how to set up a Static rather than Dynamic IP address.
DMZplus mode is (what I would assume) a De-Militarized Zone setting of some kind which is inbuilt into your router... Just looking up my image to explain DMZs:
Unless your network is set up like that I wouldnt recommend having that setting enabled...
One final thing... Sometimes with routers (like mine) to save a port forward, you must "Save" and then immediately restart your router with the "save and restart" function or something similar.
I hope I can help if you have any further problems.
