All ports will be passed onto the router by the VM cable modem. If you can't get port forwarding to work, then the problem is with the router. Try updating the firmware via Netgear's website and make sure you 'Save Settings' or 'Apply' before testing - I remember this being a quirk with some Netgear kit.

The best way to think of the VM setup as compared to your ADSL implementation is as follows. With ADSL your router had an inbuilt modem which then passed the data onto the routing system. With VM, the modem is now external and the principle is still the same.
