I got port forwarding working 2 ways: app triggered and
persistent. If your app does a listen on the port, then
app triggered should work and you can use a DHCP
(dynamic) IP for the server (the router will bind
dynamically the port forward).
Otherwise, you must assign a static IP to server. First
go to the router and under the page Local Area Network
change the range of IP's assigned by DHCP (e.g. set the
range to 3 to 254), reserving 192.168.2.2 for static.
Also do a persistent port forward for IP 192.168.2.2 and
your port. Then on the PC, go to the properties page for
the network (for XP under network connections, right
mouse click on the connection icon), and under Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) change from "Obtain an IP address
automatically" to "Use the following..." Set the IP to
192.168.2.2, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, gateway and DNS
192.168.2.1.
