Russ, have you ever set up a counterstrike server, a Q3 server, or a UT server on a linksys router? I can join the game just fine from another computer on the local network, but any anyone else who joins from the outside gets kicked by the router in minutes. I've disabled the firewall and tried port forwarding but still have had no luck, and I'm not the only one with the same problem. I can run servers fine when I'm not going through the router. If you'd take your head out of your ass for a second maybe you'd realize that I could be right. The linksys router is notoriously bad for hosting games.
