Have you given your machine a Static IP Address?

Jmwills,

Yes, I gave a static IP address in accordance with the directions that portforward.com gave me. However, in hindsight I now realize that perhaps this is too broad of a topic. I feel as if the main problem is when I connect to the router via the URL bar and mess around with the advanced settings there. If it would be of any assisstance, I could take a screenshot of the settings and someone could check it to see if it is correct.

Thanks for any help anyone is willing to give, I appreciate it.

If there is anything else you need, such as my ipconfig or anything of that nature, please let me know.

Thanks for the help

Second link is no good and thats' the critical one.

Hm, let me give it another shot.

Screenshots welcome.

Is it indeed a TCP port and not UDP?  Also try using lower case letters in the MAC Address.

 

Everything else looks good.  The Static Address of your machine is;

 

192.168.2.136?

Yes, thats my static. I'll just change everything up and see how that affects things. Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it. Now just to test and see if it works.
