And I am forwarding TCP only, do I need to do UDP as well?

Thanks for all the help, I'll try any other suggestions tomorrow after work.

I cannot even ping the server from work. Even with the firewall set to DMZ it won't allow access.

I'm lost, should I get a straight dsl modem so I don't have to deal with the firewall of the router? I can't just turn the firewall off.

Try opening udp ports, I'm not sure if it uses them or not, but I always open them too.
And it looks like you have the forwarding setup. Do you have the windows firewall turned on on the pc? Turn it off, if so, and try that.

I tried that, still no luck.

I just noticed that all computers on my network have the same external IP. I'm guessing that is why it is important for the router to know where to send the request for EQEmu?

I guess that is where I am having trouble. I don't know exactly what I'm not doing.

Thanks for all the help.

All of the computers on your network go out into the world through the same router/modem. Thats why they all have the same external Ip address. And they should, the router is smart enough to know who to send what traffic back to when the connection starts inside. You want the connection to start outside and come in. Thats what the firewall/port forwarding does. You might open a dos window and type: ipconfig. Do this on the server pc. This will tell you its Ip. Next on your router use that Ip instead of a pc name. It shouldn't matter but it could.

I apoligise for wasting anyones time. I am going to get a regular dsl modem so I don't have to go through this 2 wire dsl modem/wireless router/firewall/etc.

I'm going to try going directly from the modem to the pc and see if I still have these problems. Right now with the firewall turned off and dmz on for the server I still cannot even ping the server. AT&T wasn't much help telling me how to make it work with their 2-wire modem/router/etc.

I'll try again later, thanks agian.
