Ok.... I've had this router for a week and I thought they were all open..... but nothing as of games works... I have a Westell 327w.... and from what I have read on google it is not a very popular router with people. I have no DMZ host, Just static nat.... Any help would be great. I need to open every single port for conveinance I'll just run firewall in its place

From your router you are going to have to do some "Port Forwarding" for the second machine also.

If you are having trouble with that router, then maybe a new more popular model is needed. They aren't that expensive and the cost difference can be justified...........you will have better documentation on that type router.

Lynksys and D-Link are two popular brands with tons of support and "How Tos" all over the web.

Good luck Gunny.
