Thanks a lot for replying ....but could u please how to get about the
Mac address thingi.....in the cmd when i type GetMAC i get two colums -
1.Physical address
2.Transport address..
Though i did try to port forward and just continused without typing the MAC address
which should i use in the column in Advanced> LAN clients .........also i read the static ip config on www.portforward.com an they generated a static ip through a small table placed in that column....should i use that ip since i have placed that ip in my TCP/IP config......also for the hostname..sholud i be using my name or bsnl dataone broadband????

I cannot try this out myself right now, but take note that physical address is always the MAC address. So, after reading through the link I provided before, try this:
1. give your computer, to which you want to forward the ports, a fixed ip address (from its Network Connections wizard, give your LAN card a fixed IP address).
2. in your BSNL modem, just use the IP address of that machine or the mac address of that machine and try to forwards ports (see which of these two methods works).
let me know how that goes.
