Ok update:

i now have a static IP address free of charge from my ISP.

and one more note on port forwarding:

when i am following instructions on portforward.com it tells me to set port range to forward, i am using:

From: 7777
To: 7777

as instructed in the guide.

but it does not tell me to forward it to anything.

I have options to add in:

Trigger Port and Port to forward to.

Speaking to the IT manager at my work he says i have to forward this to a port on the machine i am using.
he says if by default the SAMP uses 7777 then i just forward to 7777 on my PC.

so all port fields on the PF tool in my router config should be 7777.

do i also need to then enter my internal IP address so the router knows where its forwarding to?

and once again, if i am trying to connect to my server through my internal IP would any of this matter or am i having a problem with something else.

Thanks,
