check and see if you have any port triggering tab in you router setup.

if not that take the suggession what deeteroderdas suggest and
in addition to that, you need to assign the static ip on your N800 advance settings in your connection manager, in that way you will always have the same ip from your router where the port will be forward.

IMHO this is not a good idea.
Agreed.

What you could do, and what I do, is let the N800 stay DHCP, then go in the router and tell it to always give the same IP address to the N800. This is done based on the MAC address.

My router is an ASUS, running Linux/OpenWRT but the Netgear should have a similar capability. I used to have a Netgear (631?) and it had that ability.
