im trying to forward some ports through my modem (not firewall). i try entering my default gateway into the internet browser address, but it pops up a screen that asks me for a username and password, it never used to do that before i got this new internet. i tried all the default options like "admin" for username and "password" for password.

or "admin" for both username and password, but nothing seems to let me into my modem settings, any help on this?

You could call your ISP and ask what the user name and password are. You could do a modem reset, BUT BE CAREFUL if you do a reset and cant get in to the modem you may not be able to get on the internet.

Have you checked PortForward.com for your specific modem?

portforward.com doesnt have my modem on there, i have an Arris TM502G

Hmmm, dunno...sorry
