SORRY FOR CAPS BUT YES I AM SCREAMING.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

You are the first person to post a reply that actually makes sense.  I
haven't tried this yet but I appreciate the effor nonetheless.

I knew it involed the net port but after looking through websites with
console variables, the only value I could find was net_qport and net_qport
is always different no matter what so even when we set different values it
didn't work.  going to try it now, i'll reply back how it goes.  Thanks
again.  Now I won't have to buy a $200 router that will let me do this.
