Your question is very confusing without any information of real use... But my guess is you are behind an Enterprise Grade NAT and do not have a "public IP" address that is dedicated to your use. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-grade_NAT– acejavelinCommented Mar 6, 2018 at 16:45

@acejavelin What is confusing about the question, I'll try to clear it. Actually, I am behind a home internet connection. I have two ISPs. One is a cable connection via a fixed router and the other is a 4G Mobile connection through a portable dongle.– Shahid ThaikaCommented Mar 6, 2018 at 17:13

@Tim_Stewart it is a traditional IPv4 address. The IP address in the Router shows up as 172.16.xx.xx and whatismyip.com shows it as 103.59.xx.xx– Shahid ThaikaCommented Mar 6, 2018 at 17:16

172.16.xx.xx is what is showing as the WAN IP Address. My router's gateway is 192.168.0.1 and I have fixed my computer's IP to 192.168.0.150. I tried port forwarding as well as setting that IP to the DMZ feature. Still neither option worked. This is so confusing since I have done port forwarding many times in the past.– Shahid ThaikaCommented Mar 6, 2018 at 17:39

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
