Honestly I just switched to a different computer that had a wireless card. I never did find a solution to the original problem, but it’s been circumvented.

    I wouldn't think so. I've port-forwarded from this computer before, using a different router. The computer that I can PF with is connected wirelessly, and the one I cannot PF with is wired.

        The only difference is how they are connected to the network. The one currently working to host my server is connected wirelessly. The one that wouldn’t work, was wired into my satellite Orbi.
