I posted this previously in Gaming, but I think this would be a better forum for the question.

I'm trying to set up a game server for Battlefield 1942. The server is working fine and can connect to the Internet, so I'm sure this isn't a hardware issue.

The server has a static IP address of 192.168.1.98, which I've been told is fine as long as when people log onto the server to play, they use the WAN IP address of my router (a Linksys NWR04B). This does not appear to be the case, as no one is able to see the game server on the Internet.

I've got port forwarding set to open port 14567 which is the one used by the server software for Battlefield.

The only time I can see the server myself is when I manually add the servers local IP address (192.168.1.98) to the Add Server option in the game. Doing so I've been able to run through a half dozen test games and the hardware seems to be working just fine.

Anyone have any suggestions? I've searched the Battlefield forums about this and haven't seen any resolutions there. Thanks much for any assistance.
