HI John thanks for the info. The best I can tell is that the software
for port forwarding runs on the pc. I guess that this software once
get inside the router, runs some sort of script that is supposed to
create the port forwarding inside the router. The router that I 'm
using is a Huawei b 315s. It recieves the signal form the internet
service company directly, so I do not have a third item between laptop
and router. It is some sort of all in one thing, with wifi, lan ports etc.
All IPV4 addresses are now assigned.
Because of that, many ISPs are now using private non-routable IP addresses to their customers.
The is the case for Smart Phones that I have, the phone company only issues non-routable IP addresses to the phones.
Any the manual for the Huawei b 315 shows that it does not have a WAN port, only a SIM card. Which means you are using Cell Phone Internet.
You need to look up the IP address that the WAN port on Huawei b 315s is currently set to.
If it does not match the whatismyip.com report, then running a public ratflector is a lost cause.
It is very likely that your configuration is:
public Internet IP -- ISP NAT private IP -- Your router -- Your network with private IP addresses.
As far as software on a PC configuring a router for port forwarding, the only way that works if the router has a remote configuration option that matches the PC software. None of the commercial Nat routers that I have used have had such a documented API. So I would be very suspicious of any downloadable software that claims it can do that.
Also it is recommended that UPNP (Universal Plug and Play) be disabled.
My current ISP supplied the WIFI-NAT-Router, but I do have the admin password for it. I have username and password for it that can set a limited number of settings.
