RE: help setting up static ip and port forwarding
because the one you see on canyouseeme.org is the IP of your router, given to it by your ISP. the IP of your computer can only be used by other computers behind your router.

Connect your computer to the internet instead of your router?

you can't access your computer from the internet, just your router. you need to make your router forward ports from your computer to its ports (manually) so people can use them

yes, but first you have to set up port forwarding on your router.

see http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_f...ng/routerindex.htm for instructions.
