i found with my wrt54g (a version 2) that if you stick the dd-wrt firmware on it, it's amazing. Makes life so much easier when your doing this kinda stuff because you can tell dchp to assign you an ip according to your comps mac addy. means you always get the same ip. that makes windows happy, it makes me happy because i can just type the same string and it's always right and also hlds/srcds never fail to work because the ports are always open straight through from the comp to the big wide world.
