In other words, you had a modem+router, and now you have a modem.

Still true. You still haven't revealed what your "my Cable Modem" actually is.

If it works, then it works. If you want an opinion on any details, then you might consider providing some useful information on what you have, what you do, and what happens when you do it.
Actual port-forwarding rules? Copy+paste is your friend. What did you do to ensure that the target Windows system always has the LAN IP address which is specified in the appropriate port-forwarding rule?

What are those addresses? (If you're worried about revealing secrets, then report at least the first two octets ("a.b" out of "a.b.c.d") in each case.)
From the outside world, you should use your public IP address, which, I'd guess is what you got "from MyIPAddress.com", and that should be the address of the WAN/Internet port of the router where you've configured port forwarding. If your router has a working "NAT loopback" feature, then you should also be able to connect from within your LAN using the WAN/Internet address of the router (and the external port number).

That sounds like a distinction without a difference, but a more useful datum would be to what the WAN/Internet port of your WNR2000v4 is connected. If there's another NAT router between your ISP and the WNR2000v4, then that could explain many problems.
