I tried putting just my local address in the boot5zones.bat, and the zone server connects to world.exe fine, but when I connect, world tells it to boot up the zone, but the client never connects. The way I understood it to work is that when you zone, world.exe hands off the client to one of the zone.exe's, so the client has to directly connect to the comp you're running zone.exe on. With the IP's set as 68.170.*.* 7990 192.168.*.*, the client can connect, but usually goes linkdead right away. With the IP's set as 192.168.*.* 7990 192.168.*.*, the zone window never even shows a connection from the client.
I'm kinda new when it comes to routers, as I just got one recently for the first time (for its wireless capabilities so I could get on the net with my laptop), and this is the first game I've tried to host since then. If nothing else, I can always hook the other computer up to the internet directly as I used to do before. This just seemed like a safer idea. Thanks for trying to help though.
