Conecting directly to modem?
I only have a router to provide wireless connectivity which I never use... Will I spare myself all of this portforwarding and other router related nonsense if I just connect directly to my cable modem?
Stardock will be closed for the week starting on Monday, June 29th and we will be returning on Monday, July 6th. We will be monitoring support tickets and forums during this time but expect delays in responses during this time.

Yeah, directly connecting to the modem will get rid of all the stuff to deal with NAT/routers/etc.
Though if your router has a DMZ option, you can make use of that, too. What it does is say "Any traffic that isn't port forwarded to something else goes to the DMZ IP". You have to assign a static IP to your computer to make use of it, but it's a way to leave the wireless available.
