What about when you have the information .. such as with my linksys wrt54g router, you forward the port, and it still doesn't work :) can you maybe give me some suggestions as to what I can do? I've upgraded the firmware ... taken all the steps I can think of/read about to get it to work, to no avail.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions you may give.

     I don't know--you haven't mentioned the make and model of your router, and
     you are considerably closer to the manual for that device than I am!
     
     (Seriously--I can go out on the web and find a PDF of many router manuals,
     and read through them and figure this out, but you can too!--look for port
     forwarding or "virtual server" terminology.)
