Hi Jason, Assuming that you have configured your router as shown in PortForward.com then try adding Destination IP Address: 192.168.1.2
If you want to be able to connect to any address/computer within the 192.168.1.0 subnet then change the netmask to 255.255.255.0, otherwise leave it as is. If your work's IP address is static then add this in the Source IP Address and change the netmask to 255.255.255.255 Of course, if you want to be able to connect to your machine from any IP address in the Internet, then leave the Source IP Address and netmask as they are (0.0.0.0).
