When you forward your ports, you forward it for a specific local IP and if you don't always have that local IP, the port can't be forwarded to it. So, are you sure you set up a static local IP?
No I don't know if I did that or not, is that on portforward? But it seems that I always have 71.34.15.xxx, I did not see that there, like I said....I'm pretty Techno-short bus, how do I do that?

thanks again
