@ Javaslinger,
Do you know if your cable modem might also be performing NAT?
For instance...you may have placed your PC's IP into the DMZ on your router (thereby opening all traffic to your PC from the router) but if your modem is also set to perfom NAT instead of simply being a "pass-through" then all you've achieved is to allow all traffic from your router to your PC, but it's not even getting to the router because it's being blocked at the modem.
