Up until a few days ago, I was able to access services that had been port forwarded on my router. I'd like to be able to do that, as I have services that I like to use on my laptop both at home and away from home and not have to switch the ip addresses for the apps to those services. How do I fix this problem? I'm using Comcast, a SurfBoard SB6120, and a Linksys E3000. | |||||

The most likely reason is the ip address of the computer you where port forwarding to has changed. Check the IP of the computer and see if it matches the IP on the port forwarding setup page in your router. As some general advice, if you are setting up port forwarding you should either set that computer up with a static IP so this does not happen again or see if your router can reserve a IP addresses to the computers MAC address so it will give the same IP every time when it assigns a DHCP address. I do not know if your model router supports reserving DHCP addresses, but many modern routers do. | |||||

Make sure the Filter Internet NAT Redirection checkbox is unchecked in the router's settings, as shown in this screenshot:
Having that setting enabled is one of the things that would cause the symptom you're seeing. | |||
