You are using cable modem, so you have to port forward port 6112 to your 2 computers IP address

Your not supposed to search for your cable modem but your router. Search for it in portforward.com and follow the instructions except repeat it and forward it to the ip of the 2nd computer. The computers MUST have static ip's or it wont work! And if you dont find your router like mine(Compex NetPassage 27G) pull out your router manual and read up port forward. btw from your screenshot i would say(correct me if im wrong) your router is a Linksys. =)

EDIT : from you screenshot try clicking Applications&Gaming then there should be a tab called Port Range Forwarding you should see a list.

Port Range
Application Start to End Protocol IP Address Enable
(anything) 6112 to 6112 Both (PC 1 IP) (tick)
(anything) 6112 to 6112 Both (PC 2 IP) (tick)

then save settings then your done!
