Here is the solution for the Verizon Router (This solution might work for others too. I have the average user setup (not using any type of business plan, etc.):<BR>
<BR>
1) Port Forwarding tab --> create new entry, enter the settings below<BR>
<BR>
ROUTER IP ADDRESS OF YOUR COMPUTER <BR>
Net address: Any <BR>
Public IP Address: Any <BR>
Protocols: HTTP - TCP Any -> 80 <BR>
Status: Active<BR>
<BR>
2) Firewall: typical<BR>
<BR>
3) Advanced --> Personal Domain Name (Dynamic DNS), enter settings below<BR>
<BR>
Enable: check yes<BR>
Host Name: the forwarding URL you set up at dyndns<BR>
Status: Updated - IP address updated successfully<BR>
Connection</SPAN></FONT><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'><FONT FACE="Lucida Grande, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial">: Broadband Connection (Ethernet)<BR>
Provider: website that you’ve set up for port forwarding (dyndns.org, no-ip.com, tzo.com, or easydns.com)<BR>
Full Domain Name: YourWebDomainName.ProviderListedInAboveStep<BR>
</FONT><FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial">User Name: Your Username when you login to your provider<BR>
Password: Password when you login to your provider<BR>
<U>Wildcard: Check Yes<BR>
Mail Exchanger: (blank, I don’t use)<BR>
Backup MX: left unchecked<BR>
offline: left unchecked<BR>
SSL M</U>ode: None<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
------------------<BR>
I believe that is all that mattered that was changed...so many tries. (let me know if you have questions on any of the other settings I missed to state above) <BR>
<BR>
Best of luck :D</FONT></SPAN>
