I just got a static IP for my dsl connection.
I have a router in place(netgear rp614)
with a server running behind the router, I forwarded the ports for the server

are there any tricks for tips for setting these up?
the server is in a remote location and is like 2 hours away from me.
so its not easy for me to go there to fix it every day.
