What I tried to say is that your modem gets anIP from your ISP. Thsi is the public IP. Then your router has an IP towards your LAN and the WAN port linked to the modem is listening to the public IP... A gateway...
So, when connecting the PC directly to the modem the PC has to accept an IP from your ISPs DHCP-server. That's why you can't connect,
IMHO
Then the MAC-addy might be involved too, or it might not, I don't know your ISP.
And, don't kick yourself in the nuts... Leave that for Zone-MR and billybob and the other wise guys. To ordinary people it hurts.
