cscgal, TheOgre,
Thanks for the replies. I'm now thinking that either I don't know how to set my router (SMC Barricade) up correctly or it's not working correctly ;o)
I tried the port forwarding, special apps, and combos of both and couldn't get it (BT) to work correctly. I then put my boc in the DMZ and still no luck. (I also noticed that when I check my IP address in in the router config I get 192.168.x.x) isn't this a non-routable address?) Anyway, I then disconnected my PC from my router and plugged directly into the modem, still no luck (which is why I thought the BT ports were being blocked). However, I unplugged my modem and tried again and it now works, so those ports are not being blocked which leads me to thinking I don;t know how to set up my router for port forwarding correctly (though it seems simple enough).

I had a chance to play a lil bit with BT and didn't have any problems, which leads me to believe that your router isn't configured properly. You shouldn't have to do any special changes to your router, since the connection originates from within your LAN, and a properly configured router will automagically allow replying packets back through (unless the prot:port is blocked specifically, like for the Blaster worm or some such.)
If you're wanting to check your outside IP, you could use this address. (and yes, anything 192.168. is non-routable. I forget the RFC, but yes, you're correct :)
Try resetting your router back to it's factory settings (or just remove all port forwarding settings) and try it again. I've never used that router, but I know for me to use BT, I had to make 0 configuration changes on mine.
Let me know how you make out.

Thanks for following up on this it is much appreciated. After resetting the router to the factory defaults, I still had the problem. It was driving me crazy, I mean I put my box in the DMZ (hard to screw that up, right?) and it still didn't work correctly (you're correct that BT will work fine w/o port forwarding or special apps, but setting up those features (not sure at this point whether 1 or both are needed) you can improve the through put by allowing people outside to initiate a connection).
Anyway, last night I'm sitting there with a dumb look on my face trying to figure out why it's not working, then it hit me. A few months ago, I became a beta tester for ViIP. The set up has the Telephone Adaptor in front of my router so I disconnected it and went from the modem directly to my router and presto! it worked. Unbeliveable. . . .

192.168 is the IP address for your computer on YOUR network only, so you would have to get a static IP, I am not sure on how to do this, just search google.

FYI: 192.168. is a non-routable network address, not an IP address. 192.168.0.1 is an IP address :)

I wasn't picking on him 
It was a very long day that ended about 2 hours ago. Just wanted to let him know, in case he wasn't sure...

Could someone help me with the same problem as the original poster? I'm trying to reach my site (hosted on my home machine) from work. The firewall at work blocks all ports except 80. So I have to go out port 80 at work, but I know that OptOnline blocks 80. So I set up a WebHop with DynDns that redirects to a port on my home machine. I tried a variety of different ports figuring OptOnline blocks some of them, but nothing seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry for the lack of info. I'm not using a router. I just have the cable modem. I also have Zone Alarm installed which I turned off to do my testing. I'm running IIS 5.1 on a Windows 2000 machine. I have the web hop configured with DynDNS so that when I type in my URL (http://bradmcnutt.webhop.net) with them, it redirects to http://69.115.43.20:5906/Cabinet/ on my machine. This URL works fine when going to it on my machine, but like I said, when I try it from work, it can't find the page. I hope this is enough info. Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks.
