Along with port forwarding, you ARE connecting to the dial up provider (cable, whoever) IP address, and NOT 192.168.1.100, right? You will have to connect to something like 168.47.28.19 which is assigned to you, then the router will forward those ports to the internal system which uses addresses which are not accessible from the outside world (since the 192.168.1.nnn is a default, there are probably a million or so 192.186.1.100's!)
Even though technically, most providers will tell you that this address is not a static IP, from a practical standpoint it rarely changes unless they modify their sytem upstream from you. Just be aware that after a router reboot someday, you MAY have a different external IP address!
