if you can't connect to the internet using static ip, you need to know the
dhcp client's config on your pc.
as I stated before go to the network config and uncheck the roaming mode and
use the dhcp configuration, then in the console use the following:

ifconfig
cat /etc/resolv.conf

and write down the parameters and that would be the info needed to
configurate static ip address.

as I've just seen that your modem/router doesn't have a web-based method to
configurate port forwarding, so you'll have to read your manual to do that
using telnet, it's not difficult at all, although I haven't done it for
years.

remember something roaming mode is just like using the dhcp config in
network config, but it's not the same.
and if you can use roaming mode and dhcp config, surely you can use static
ip.
