wow, all this is great information! Thank you all!
So here is what I've done:
-I found out my public IP address
-I signed up with dyndns
-I changed the port forwarding to 8081
-I made sure that Remote Management is disabled on the router
-Disabled firewalls
I know that the new syndns is working because it directs me to my computer, however when I add the port :8081 I get an error message that I can't establish a connection (on firefox)
I have a feeling it has to do with my port forwarding, but not sure why... I have been using port forwarding for years using Transmission for torrents. WHat might be going wrong??
