hey everyone!

I have been hosting a minecraft server on my computer for some time now, and recently got a new modem (xfinity). We have always had a airport extreme, which I used an application called Portmap, to port forward. I have no problems in the past, but since i got the new modem, I have not been able to send my ports to friends who play minecraft. It seems to me that PortMap is actually sending my internal Ip, instead of my external. (the display shows which one, and it is one like 10.0.1.x, whereas my external is like 56.87.xx.xxx)
before I got the new modem, the display was showing an ip like 28.9345.231.x, now it shows different.

Do you know what is wrong, and if so, how can i fix it.

Your new router should have the ability to configure the ports - no application is needed. What is the make and model of the router that you now have?
