One of the steps very commonly skipped over when people follow the instructions at
portforward.com is setting up a static local IP (and therefore not using DHCP). This will always give you the same local IP (192.168.1.xxx) when you log in. If you use DHCP (the D stands for Dynamic), then you can get a different local IP everytime to start up your computer. 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?
