Did I port forward correctly?

I just did the whole port forwarding thing for my XB1 after watching some online tutorials and wanted to know if I had done it correctly. The video had a different service than I so the menus were a bit different (I've got Xfinity) and was hoping someone familiar with that system could tell me if I had done everything correctly.

It's true. You can't have your console automatically set itself when it comes to network settings, you'll have to manually set a static IP yourself (if you're trying to forward ports, anyway).

... Is it any different, for the new consoles...? I thought the easiest thing to do, would be to set your console to a static IP, and then use that IP as the address for a DMZ. They're still consoles and not PCs, you can't get into any real trouble for that, right...?
