Nevermind. Did some more digging and realized I can't easily fix it with my current setup.
I found out that the modem provided by my ISP also serves as a router, but there's no way to configure port forwarding or even which ports are open. I'd have to pay a fee (an unreasonable one, at that, IMO) to have their tech crew remotely access my modem to do the forwarding.
Which is BS, as far as I'm concerned.
I'll have to bridge the router to the modem... something I have no idea how to do and completely disables my internet when I try. Fun!
