Try going into the administration page of the router.
Go to the Advanced Tab and then to Port Forwarding tab.
Forward the ports that the software runs on to the computer that you intend on performing as the server.
Hense, if you want computer 192.168.1.3 to host the rogerwilco chat you would forward port 2344 to 192.168.1.3. Now I don't know what port RogerWilco runs on, I just used 2344 as an example. If you look in RogerWilcos help files I'm sure you'll find it in there. I used to use it with my Linksys router and I think the information was in there.
I know RogerWilco doesn't work with some games. If your interested in a decent alternative try GameVoice by Micro$oft. ====================================
I love people. They taste just like
chicken!
