hope this helps
In vegas to forward a port with the
zytell modem Sprint/Embarq our
DSL provider you have to bridge your modem first and allow your router to pull your IP from your
ISP. Then you can forward the port.
If you have
DSL I would start by going to my ISP's website and look for instructions for setting up port forwarding or Bridging your modem.
Bridging your modem passes off traffic control to your router. on
zytell modems you can also forward ports but bridging is much less technical
I have not run into CABLE providers cable modems having to do this
did you allow that port in your computers firewall?
Did you set up a static ip on the computer you want to forward your port for? sounds like it is required for you router

to test the port connection you can go to
http://whatsmyip.org on the left pane click on port scanner and choose custom to scan the port number you are attempting to open. you do have to have the application that will use that port running to get a result if it is a game ALT+TAB should let you out of the game without shutting it down to open a web browser this tool can save you a lot of time testing the port it will give you a open status when you have
succeeded.
