Hi Oblivion9
You say that you have tried port forwarding but that has not worked, the thing is 99 times out of 100 port forwarding works and for your efforts not to work is unusual.
However, you have not said whether you have tried UPnP on your setup, so if you have not then I suggest you do.
Click on the following link and try to follow the instructions, which will help you to initiate UPnP on your equipment, afterwards let us know how you got on.
