No Port Forwarding with Modem?

[MYST]

I was on blockland and my friend was saying that my server is dead and stuff, (what a shock my server is dead).

And then we got into this discussion and they were like,

Friend: Do you have a cord coming out of your computer?

Me: Yes

Friend: Then you don't need to port forward.

And i was all confused and stuff,
And they said it was a modem and stuff and I dont need to port forward.
And that really threw me off...

Is this really true?

If your internet comes through a router, you need to port forward no matter what connection you have.

I think my port forwarding is broken, Cause when I put in my default user and pass for that one thing, It just sits there for ever..... And nothing happens.

Modems usually do not require port forwarding.
You should still get a router.

This is an ethernet cord


An ethernet cord should be leading out of your computer. Follow the cord until you find a device.
If another ethernet cord comes out the other side, then you have a router.
If it's a cord that screws on to the device, then you have a modem.

That wouldn't be your "port forwarding," that would be a problem with your router.

What router is it and what user/pass are you using.

Uhhh, What do you mean by what router? The number or something?
