The port forwarding on my router doesn't seem to be working any more. It's a netgear router, and the firmware is current. In the port forwarding page, I'll take an entry (3389 for example, for remote desktop, or 80 for http) and map it to 192.168.1.3:3389 which would be my PC's IP address and port. Is there anything else you can think of that might be blocking this?

Well you forward the port say 3389 and in the map entry you only put the IP not the port. So use 192.168.1.3 skip trying to enter the port at this point you have already specified that!

When you set up your port forwarding and you want to foward to 3389 wich is RDP in most cases also hard code that computers NIC as well and if you need to remote your router most cases they use port 8080 and if your Ip is changing all the time you can use www.no-ip.org and that way you can set up a freindly name to RDP to so your not having to keep on trying to figure out what your ip is I use this service its great I hope that helps a bit more.

Some ISPs block port 80. Be certain the port you are forwarding from the Internet goes to the correct port on your host.
