I use XP Pro so I can't help with Win 7, I suggest you use your Windows help facility that should tell you how to enable UPnP on your O/S.
As for your modem, you have not mentioned the name or model so I can't really say anything about it.
Finally, you said:

If your modem has UPnP, and you should check, then you should switch it on because UPnP was developed to enable software and hardware from different manufacturers to work together. By inserting a router in your set up you have introduce a piece of equipment that is running several technologies at the same time and so causing the problem you are getting.
Therefore, theoretically, if everything in your set up is running UPnP then your chain of equipment (hardware and software) should run seamlessly.
