yes, i am using the right ip, by the way its a ftp server im trying to put up.  it was originally port 21, i changed it to 27015 then fowarded the ports, check if they were open and it said they were closed.

im thinking, maybe isp is blocking ports.

edit: and im trying to run a server also.

well, my problem is still not solved.

ports still dont open, ive even put dmz hosting and had no result there. please help.

There seem to be many different versions of that router, from the Linksys support site:

BEFSR41 V1.0

BEFSR41 V3.0

BEFSR41 V4.0

BEFSR41-CA(FR) V1.0

BEFSR41-CA(FR) V3.0

BEFSR41W V1.0

BEFSR41W-CA(ENG) V1.0

BEFSR41W-CA(FR) V1.0

Do you know which version you have?

doesnt say, its either v1 3 or 4. the first 3 you have said.  dont think theres alot of diff between them.

well, i go to the site 192.168.1.1, and foward my ports, but when i check to see if their open, they are not.

any help would be appreciated.

As I suspected, someone hacked your router and changed the password and settings  See link:https://www.speedguide.net/read_reviews.php?id=90&page=3  Note the warning.....

Unplug router from the cable modem, hold the reset for 30 or more seconds.  Now, power the router down, then bring it back up.  Do not connect it to the cable modem yet.  Connect your computer to then see if you can access the setup screens with the standard ip and password.  If you can, change your router password to at least 8 character including numbers, letters and special characters such as #$%.  After doing this and configuring anything else you need to, shut your computer down, shut the router down,  reconnect the router to the cable modem and bring that back up.  When its up, start your computer up. 

Hope this helps.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry, but im very excited. Thank you very much.

i suspected someone had hacked it, .

I cannot access the menu, because the ip has changed, so if i go to 192.168.1.1, it treats it as a website, so it is not found. So i put 193.168.1.1, it asks for pass and username, i put admin for pass, this does not work.

but thanks for trying to help.

Well, i have a very bad problem with my router.  It some how now uses ip address 193..... intead of 192... as it came.  I have done nothing to it, i just went to bed and the next morning the internet was not working, so i checked it out and it seems this is the problem. Any help would really help.  I have tried holding reset button for 10 seconds but it did not reset to factory defaults .

Well thanks for any help given.
