New Dedicated Server Problem

Problem goes like this. I initially set up a dedicated server on my main workstation on the network. This box and the 4 others are all behind a Linksys router/NAT firewall...etc. All have assigned internal IP's. When I first set up the server on machine 1, it worked instantly! My buddies all connected, no port forwarding, no problem...and I played on the same machine. The performance was kinda choppy, so I figure I'll set it up on another machine and just use mine to play. No dice!

On the other machine, no one can even ping it. It shows up on the GLobal list for them, but no ping, no connect. I've tried forwarding all the ports, setting it to DMZ, everything I can think of. THis particular machien is also used for web serving so I knwo it's accessible from the Internet. And I have network shares on it so I know it's not an internal problem. I can connect to it no problem from within the network, nothing outside though. And as soon as I start it on the original machine....they get right on.

Looking to run this long-term...any feedback would be great.

Thanks...
