Complete Noob here..Need some help!

Have set up a DoD server. Couldn't get my 2 statics to communicate because I couldn't get 2 ip's on the same subnet address range, so I am using a router again.
Not a problem, can still set the server up, still connects to the net, and still contacts master server etc...People can get in with no problems...

My problem lies with my windows Xp machine upstairs timeing everyone else out when I go to connect to the server downstairs.
I've opened the appropriate ports on the router.

Is there something I am supposed to be doing to linux to allow me to connect with my winXp machine from the same router?
This is getting frustrating because I really don't know that much about linux.
Is the problem with 27015? both machines use that port to game with for that server... is my connecting from upstairs hogging up that port when I go to connect?

How would I go about fixing this? Any help would be appreciated. I realize this is not the forum for this sort of questions, but where else am I going to find so many smart cookies who might have run across the same issue at one time or another.

ThanX Guys,

you should be able to set the port that the server uses, to anything between 27010 to 27030. Set the server to run on a different port, since your XP machine shares router space with it. See if that works.

ThanX M8, will give it a try. I have tried setting the server up on a different port earlier today, but for some strange reason it still showed on 27015. I have come across another way of manually setting this port. So fingers crossed....

Any other tips would be Kewl...Am still a complete noob when it comes to linux.
