uhhh, 192.168.x.x is not a static IP.
(correct me if im wrong, going to be very brief)
There are two types of connections, dynamic and static. Dynamic (what most people have) is where you are given a IP address that changes (sometimes often, sometimes hardly at all, but it WILL change). A static IP (you have to pay more for a static ip) is a perminent IP that never changes unless manually changed by your ISP.
192.168.x.x is your internal IP (internal ip, local ip, whatever you want to call it). Your router assigns each computer on your network an internal IP (usually 192.168.x.x, with the last number ranging from 1-101). When you run a server off a computer connected to a router, the server will ALWAYS display your internal IP. Just because it shows your Internal IP doesn't mean people aren't able to connect to it.
Also, it looks like you put your computer under DMZ. I don't usually recommend DMZ because although it makes things easier, your computer is open for attacks because it isn't being protected by your router's firewall. If you are going to use DMZ, don't use DMZ AND port forwarding, because most of the time that makes neither one of them work, so use one or the other.
If it still doesn't work, blame it on Belkin and their poor routers. I went through two Belkin routers before settling with my Netgear, and haven't had a problem since. (My first Belkin router completely quit working after a week and my Second one wasn't configureable, opening ports didn't work, DMZ didn't work, etc.)
