I've opened my ports via my routers IP page. Every time I use a port checker... it says they are closed :\

This is exactly how it looks..

Obviously, that's not the router for the ISP. You need to check the settings on the modem the ISP issued to you.

You should first try with the Linksys bypassed. (Just connected straight to the modem that you use.)

With just the modem that Time Warner Cable gave you, scan the ports again.

I did, they are closed still. There is no option on the modem setting to open or close any ports... ?

Disable Windows firewall and scan the ports again.

only way to see "open ports" is if a service is running on that port too just FYI.

for example, if i forward RDP (3389) to a computer with RDP not enabled even if you port scan the status of 3389 will be "closed"
