And no, it has nothing to do with the firewalls, my symantec has all the proper exceptions added to it and is configured correctly.

The way I most recently had it setup was static DHCP on the router connected to my computer and DMZ enabled, routed to my computer which is always the same thanks to the static DHCP. Then the router connected to the modem was supposed to be port forwarding to my personal router.

If I disable DHCP on my personal router the main router will assign IPs to my computer which is connected to my personal router? To set my router up as a repeater I had to differentiate the subnets so the main one is 192.168.1.1 and mine is 192.168.69.1. The optimal solution in my case would to be able to continue to use my router to access the wireless from the main router (as I am doing now) and be able to do my hosting from the secondary router but its getting quite complicated especially since I don't understand this as well as I should. I'm guessing I'll probably end up ditching the secondary router however and just go back to wireless cards for each machine.

I will check with my ISP on that, does anyone else have any suggestions?

It is a really good game, especially for just $20. I'm excited to see how the next game is going to incorporate the old save games, its a great idea that should happen a lot more.

Odell Lake, ya baby

I realize using 2 routers is only going to complicate things further but I have been running my own personal network here for programming purposes but I haven't been using the other comp much lately so I could ditch it. What is the problem with RDP? I don't know much about networking yet so please enlighten me. I already have a wireless card, I just hadn't been using it. I also needed the ethernet connection for a virtual machine I had been using and the router allowed me to aviod having wire running through the middle of the house.

Ok, maybe I'm doing something wrong (one would think so with my number of failed game hosting attempt climbing into the hundreds of thousands), but I have tried to do just about everything to get a host up. I have shut off every firewall I could find, tried DMZ and port forwarding and I can not ever get anything to work. Right now I have a linksys running v24-sp1 dd-wrt repeating the signal from a netgear WGR614 v6. I am seriously starting to doubt that our crappy local ISP out in the country here is capable of even allowing this because it won't work for about 6 different people from our same ISP and we are all about to go crazy. If someone can guide me through this God-forsaken process, please, have mercy on me...
