Hi All,

I have a Linksys WRT54G router and I would like to be able to host an Enemy Territory game on a PC on my home network.

I temporarily enabled the DMZ and found I could connect to the game by specifying the IP address of the Internet side of the router (e.g. 212.64.34.132), but the game does not appear on the list of servers show in the game.

Do I need to enable/set something else or should I just put up with having to tell people the IP address? Obviously the latter is somewhat more secure, but does seem rather crude!
