Port Forward And DMZ Doesn't Work

[lexytrnr]

I'm using Netcomm and I'm port forwarding Ark, I've port forwarded on a mac without firewall and I've turned all the ports to allow on my windows firewall, I turned DMZ on and everything you need to do, I followed the official instructions of Netcomm as well. No matter what I do it doesn't work. Help?

So from a quick search on netcomm this appears to be a wireless internet company. Not sure about this one but many of these companies do not give you public ip addresses.

Look in the router and see if you can find the wan ip address. First clue will be if it is a private ip address. Go to some site like whatsmyip and compare that ip to what the sites says your IP is. If they are not the same ip there is a NAT router in the path and you will never get port forwarding to run.

If you think the IP address is ok put the router in DMZ mode and run wireshark on the PC that is in the DMZ. You need to make sure you run as little as possible to not get too much traffic. When you attempt to send traffic to a port the pc should receive it. You really don't care if the pc responds at this point only that you see a packet coming in from a external source to that port.
