I know everyone rolls their eyes the minute a closed ports thread gets started. Here we go again...

I just switched to Time Warned Wide Band, which puts me in a double NAT situation. To (unsuccessfully) open my ports, so far I have switched the new cable modem (Motorola SBG6580) to bridge mode (see link below) so I can set the ports up with Apple Airport Utility.

My port mapping knowledge is weak at best. I have gone into the Network tab of the Airport Utility, set the following:

Router mode: DHCP and NAT
DHCP Range: default
DHCP Lease: empty
Enable NAT Port Mapping: CHECKED
Enable default host at: UNCHECKED
Port Mapping: (For this I have tried plugging in different port numbers. I am not quite sure what to do. I put the same port number in for all public & private ports, and still ports are closed).
Enable Access Control: UNCHECKED

Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated!!
