Port Forwarding - Versalink 327W. Plz Help.

[Yinzo]

Hello! I've looked around your forums and many other guides to port forwarding, and I have not been able to find any way to get my router to forward correctly. I'm able to access the NAT settings, and correctly forward the ports, they're applied to this computer and "Should" be working but it still doesn't go through. At first I was only trying to host a simple ventrilo server, but now I'm after hosting a game server and running a MySQL Server, I have the the ports, and I've tried to forward them, but nothing.

I just found out that in my connections, I'm connected by a network bridge (?) and that theres some settings deep in that, after forwarding there, nothing happened still. So I turn to this. I don't know what to supply, but this is what I've seen everyone say.

If your modem is bridged, no port forwarding is necessary, since you have a direct pipeline to the Internet. However, I'd expect to see a public IP address if that were the case, so I'm thinking it's not.

Have you used the guides at www.portforward.com to do the task?
