Actiontec GT701 + Qwest DSL + Linksys WRT54G = No RDP?

On Comcast I had my Linksys WRT54G port forwarding so I could access my PC via RDP when I was on the road via my laptop. Since switching to Qwest I've been unable to do so. I've tweaked settings, played around and asked Qwest but can't get it to work.

I'm using No-IP (so no I don't need a static IP address) with the utility running to update on a regular basis. Even without that I have my laptop sitting next to me and tried with the IP the Modem is displaying and still no luck.

Anyone know how to get RDP to work with Qwest (MSN Premium) DSL?



Qwest DSL (MSN Premium)
Actiontec GT701
Linksys WRT54G (Sveasoft Alchemy-6.0-RC5a v3.01.3.8sv)
Port forwarding to desktop IP via port 3389 (default RDP)
 
Comcast gave you a bridge the actiontec 701 is a router, even though it only has one lan side port. You should be able to access it by browsing to the default gateway your linksys gets (normally 192.168.0.1). Inside the actiontec config go to Setup > advanced setup > begin advanced set up > DMZ hosting (on the left) > then enable dmz hosting and type in the IP address for the linksys and click next.
