Hey I figured out a different way to fix the problem and just letting people know who may also have the same problem was I just reset my router *holding down the reset button for 10 seconds* then went back in redid everything was quick and simple but i'll check for my IP next thanks
When you "reset" your router, it would have also reset the router's internal DCHP server (which assigns IP addresses on your network) thereby giving you back the original IP you had forwarded to. Either way obviously works.....
