Good luck with it...  Also make sure that all the Pc's behind the
router are using the same cd_key..  You may have problems if the cd
keys are differnt because your joining the same server with the same
IP, but diff cd keys..  Ive noticed that some servers have a problem
with it, but others don't!!  hehe.  Oh well.   Now If I can just figure
out how to run a Q3Server from behind the router Ill be set...

Happy to help guys...   :)
