It was a royal pain at first but now I can reset my ports in a matter of minutes.

I go to RUN, type in "ipconfig", look at the last digits of your IP Address. I have a Netgear modem so I go to NETGEAR Gateway's "Port Forwarding" and type in those last few digits of your IP Address into "Local IP Address" in "Add Custom Rules" and botta-bing.

Hope this helps you.

I have a Netgear router. I encrypted the router, I don't have that problem anymore. I used to have to do the same thing.
