Ok. Maybe this will shed some light. This is how my subsonic server is connected via dsl.
Phone line to DSL modem.
Modem to router.
The modem is set to bridge, and the router takes care of the PPPoE authentication.
The router gets its public facing IP address from the ISP.
The router is set to port forward my subsonic port to my subsonic server's IP address.
I also have my router take care of updating my dynamic dns records.
If my subsonic server is listening on port 80 (web) and its IP address is 192.168.1.101, then the mapping would map the public IP address's port 80 to the inside facing IP address of 192.168.1.101.
Your router's internal IP address should be static, and your server's IP address should be static as well. Your global IP address (provided by your ISP) should not be static, and should instead be assigned by your ISP.
