I am trying to setup an arma 3 server and no matter what I try the port forwarding will not open the ports. Here is how I have things setup.Arris sb8200 modemModem shows security type is dpi+(dont know if this matters as it is something the ISP has set and I cant change it even if I wanted to.)Netgear ac1750 routerFirewall disabled on routerFirewall disabled in windowsStatic ip set on pc (192.168.1.6)Port forward set to 192.168.1.6 port 2302 udp/tcpUpnp disabledArma server up and runningPort test shows 2302 closed. Port test from outside the network also shows closed.Tried without ports set and upnp enabled and still ports are closed.What is going on here? I can provide pics of all settings if that will help.

So I plugged the computer directly into the modem and tested ports again with the arma server running and still it says the port isnt open. Windows firewall is off and no other firewall software is used. Does this mean I might need to call comcast and see if it's something on their end?

Yea... think I'll wait for someone else to help that doesnt always have a condescending attitude when they try to help someone..

We don't know what you are doing and where it goes wrong. Ignore the snark and deal with the questions. To begin with, your footer says C6300. That's a Netgear cable modem/router. Are you really using that alongside an Arris sb8200 modem? Not a good idea. AC1750 is not a reliable guide to model number. Many devices come with an AC tag – I can find about a dozen AC1750s – but it is essentially a label that Netgear, and other brands, attach to hardware to describe wifi speeds.

ty for the reply. so its a netgear r6400v2 router.ipv4 is set in windows as you see in the pics.tested ports with portchecker.co and canyouseeme.org. both show port is closed.here are some pictures of everything i have set.well apparently my pics wont upload for some reason...

     Simple modem. Should be harmless.

     Not a model number. Look for "Model" on the product label.

     I don't know what that means to you. What does Netgear call what you
  did?

     How, exactly?
  
     Terminology: A "static" address is configured on the device itself.
  What you configure on a (DHCP server on a) router is a reserved dynamic
  address, not a static address. Either one should fix the address of a
  device, but some implications are different.
  
     Generally, using DHCP address reservation (on the router) is simpler
  to manage.

     What kind of "Port test"? At which address? From where? As usual,
  showing actual actions (commands) with their actual results (error
  messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague
  descriptions or interpretations.

     Unlikely. Your ISP can't stop your local activity, and it's unlikely
  to stop your external activity.
