I tried hosting a game with my new router, and as expected I needed to forward a port.
I followed the directions here:
http://portforward.com/networking/static-xp.htm
and here:
http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/ Netgear/WGR614/default.htm
I tried again to host the game, it shows up on the website but does not allow players to join the game.
Any reason that after I have a static IP and set up a range of ports that I can't properly host a game?

Go to command, type in ipconfig, and check that the IPV4 address is the same one the port was forwarded on.
Also, setting a static ip like that only sets it for the computer, you will want to make a reservation on the router to make sure it doesnt get given to someone else.
