Well, I called up my internet company and after throwing me out so I can call the modem providers that their company does not cover (though I got this modem from the ISP and not the modem company), I called back again and was assigned to this really nerdy and cool guy that managed to bear with me for two hours, trying to get it to work. We didn't, because I couldn't manage to give him remote access to the modem. Even though I enabled all the ports and everything. I told him that I'd buy him a beer for his persistence and bearing with me, rated him 10 out of 10, then ended the call. Really awesome dude.
Then I talked with my father and he suggested something else. Turns out that the first modem we used was NOT broken, instead it was some other box that the company independently controls. So I can switch to the old modem and see if that works. It should, because I used that modem for Graalin' before, and again, it's not broken.
I'll probably do that this weekend and keep you posted; see what happens and all that. Theoretically it should fix every little thing and let me live happily ever after.
... You know, it would be funny if it turned out that I was speaking with you... What do you do, anyway?
