The modem/router will be set to forward all traffic for ports 9000 and 7000 - 7100 to the static IP address you set for your router. Then the router will be set to foward those same ports onto your server PC. A little sloppy to say the least, but it should work just fine.

Also, this isn't a support forum, so you probably won't get many replies here lol. Good luck with getting that setup to work properly.
If you read this document the original poster will fine the information on what I am talking about. But yes dsl modem/routers like this one have a bridge mode. This basicaly turnd the thing into a modem only and disables the router. You then have to configure your router for a dsl connection.
