LINKSYS ROUTERS If I remember right there used to be a tutorial on it somewhere....
not sure since I dont have one but I think the linksys routers have firewalls also.

ok, point 1, 1017 = CAN NOT CONNECT TO SERVER reason unknown
second point, ur getting a NAT error most likely becuase ur using ur internal Ip so u can connect, but everone else needs ur external ip. So u need to do a NAT FIX.

do to a NAT FIX go to www.no-ip.org
where ever it asks for your ip type in the dns foward your using. then go to any system behind your router that you want to b able to connect your server
you need to go to there HOST file. it depends on what OS your using on where it is, your best bet is to search for it, and hope your not using XP pro.

Your host file will look something like this


# Copyright (c) 1998 Microsoft Corp.
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP stack for Windows98
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
# For example:
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
127.0.0.1 localhost



just add to the bottem
"server ip" "dns redirect you got from no-ip"
