   The _numbers_. The actual _numbers_. Not "like xxx.xx.xx.xx" or
"the number i get when i search for my public IP". The actual
_numbers_. I don't even need _all_ of them; the first half would be
fine:

   That could be your problem:

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-grade_NAT

   If your ISP is using carrier-grade NAT, then your router will not get
a public WAN/Internet IP address, and so you will not be able to make
port forwarding work.

   You could try asking your ISP if you can get a public address. They
might charge extra for that, if they'll do it at all. Some ISPs dislike
servers for residential customers.

> go to the manual

I went through the steps the manual showed and in LAN Setup which is where i reserve and IP adress the one i get from cmd ipconfig was already on the reserve list

>some paremeters in a port fowarding...

So for the name i just named it "Minecraft" so i remebered what it was for, Service Type is TCP/UDP, External Starting Point: 25565, Internal STarting Point: 25565 and the internal IP address is the one I get by selecting the computer im using which is also the same as the IP I get from cmd ipconfig

ADVANCED>ADVANCED home : internet port : internet IP address

I'm not too sure what you mean by value here im sorry but it dispays like xxx.xx.xx.xx but that number does not match the number i get when i search for my public IP

>Get what from where

From here i go to the Internet Setup tab and find the section that says "Internet IP Address" and just below that is the box that is checked "Get Dynamically From ISP"
