I have tried a lot of thing to get it to work but nothing has helped.

I found the following after a quick Google:

Port forwarding instructions for the Huawei modem. Is the modem bridged or in a normal routed mode?

http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Huawei/HG655d/Access_Remote_PC.htm

Replace whatever port numbers they have in there with whatever port numbers you require.

Here is a youtube video on how to set up port forwarding on the router

ok, but how can i see if my modem is in bridged mode or in normal routed mode?


 


If you connect your computer to the modem and it gives you an IP address (192.168.x.x or something like that) then it's in a routed mode. If you connect and do not receive an IP address (or get 169.254.x.x) then it's bridged.

Depending on your ISP, there may be a chance that you get a public IP if your modem is bridged and there is open authentication on your account. You'll get something other than the private 10.x.x.x., 172.16.x.x or 192.168.x.x.
 


Go to This Link Here. It's the user manual for the Cisco Linksys EA6500 Router. On page 54, it explains in depth how to port forward properly.
