Normally I can port forward with ease. But this is one is giving me an issue.

So, when I go to the CMD type "ipconfig" I get there with ease. My issue is, it does not let me port forward. I get an error that shows an error message.

From what I see it's because you're PC and the router "are not on the same network" so to say
Your router's IP is 182.168.0.1 and your PC's is 10.1.32.52
This means your subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
In this configuration the first 3 parts of the Ip are "network" and the last part is client which means that your network devices can have a IP adress in ranging from 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254 (192.168.0.255 is reserved for network broadcast and cannot be changed)

In conclusion my idea is that your router "doesn't see" the device do to the configuration explained above.. If you try to open a port for some IP adress within the 192.168.0.2-254 range I'm sure it will work with no problem.

Thank you. Is there a way I can test this to make sure it is working?

Also, how would I locate the correct IP then?

I did try to port forward the two IPs 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254 but neither seemed to work.
