Static IP is not working

I have a Speedtouch 585(i) v6 DSL router and I have bought a public IP from the ISP and assigned it to a PC on my LAN.
 - My DSLIP is 196.218.197.121/30 and the IP I bought and assigned to my machine is "196.218.197.122/30"
 - All my LAN PCs are able to access the internet.
 - When I go to site "showmyip.com" from ANY of my LAN PCs I can see 196.218.197.121
I need people to be able to access my PC from outside.

I suggest to add a static NAT for that IP indside=outside.
I tried that and it is giving me "Failed to add maping"
I need to know what is the steps to do that and is my suggestion correct or not.

If your router has the possibility to setup a DMZ, setup such a DMZ and then assign it the ip you bought.
well really your router should be using the public ip address not one of your pc's

then you need to forward the specific port (application port) in your router to your pc ip address
Well not sure who your ISP is, but IMHO your static IP address should be assigned to your DSL modem.

Your DSL modem is acting as a NAT device which it should do normally.

You may want to see if your DSL modem can be configured to allow IP pass through.
