[SOLVED] Port Forwarding Doesn't Work

[ardaswebmail]

Can anyone help me setting up port forwarding? I have Verizon FIOS internet. No matter what I do this thing wont port forward. Anyone else here have Verizon? Can you port forward on your internet?

I don' know why my message was put in graphics cards. I didn't mean to do that. How can I move it to where it belongs?

Check if you have a IPv4 address of your own. Go to your router's settings and go to the menu called WAN Status. If the ip address starts with a 100, unfortunately you can't port forward with your internet because you are behind a Carrier Grade NAT protocol, which means you and probably many more people share 1 IPv4 address across all of you.

It says the IPv4 address starts with 72

And how do I disable Carrier Grade NAT?

can you check your computer's ip address and tell me if it matches with the router or not?

you either have to buy a static IP, or just call your ISP and tell them to give you a dedicated IPv4 address(which is what they probably will not do)

The computer and router IPs are not the same but they are very similar. Only the last numbers are different.

to my knowledge it looks like you are not behind CGNAT. are you sure you are port forwarding correctly?

I don't know if I am port forwarding correctly.

I just want to forward all incoming connections to a port from my external IP into the IP of my computer.

Not sure if this will help or not, but in my experience my external IP address (I think thats what it calls) has never changed. I'd suggest running ipconfig /all and looking for external IP. Make sure that's the one your using to forward.
