port forwarding Port Forwarding Nightmare

[Jammerbam]

Ok, I need help port forwarding my router to allow some of my friends to play ARK with me. 

The problem is i have already port forwarded on my router to my IP address.

However the modem that my ISP provided me is a modem/router. I have already tried to port forward on the modem, and have already tried setting up the DMZ host to forward all traffic to my router, yet my ports are still blocked.

Any ideas?

I have a Linksys EA6500 router, and a F@ST 1704N modem.

The sad truth is that your ISP may not allow port forwarding. It is really restricting, but for some stupid reason they do it.

I can check. If so, that would be really annoying
