Thanks, that worked great. Opened up the port for ZSNES and it works great,
still need to test the one for Quake, but It probably does. And it's also
pretty secure, since I'm still all stealth, according to Shields Up, and I
tried having a friend portscan me and he couldn't even tell the IP Adress
existed. This is a damn good router.
