Ok, I need to be able to connect to a computer on my network. I need to be able to acess/edit files. The only thing is.....This is how my home network works:
Internet(Cable)--->Server(windows XP SP2 512mb 80gig2.4 celeron)--->Router(Linksys wireless B BEFW11S4 V4)--->My computer(P4 2.66 1024mb 250gigs windows XP SP2)

Now, I need to access my websites files, my players are getting impatient. The server has no firewall(It did have Zone Alarm, but it was uninstalled) I know it can be done, since it did work for me for a while. Please help...
 
Don't put your server before the router.

"Screws with the server" actually means that the router's firewall is protecting your network. You have to configure the router to let traffic through to the server.
 
But I also need to run a server for Battlefield Vietnam.

And behind a router, it gets the networks IP, and no1 can join. Just please, tell me how to do this.
 
You need to configure the router to open the ports needed. This information should be in the games manual.
 
You have to configure the router to let traffic through to the server.
You will find excellent directions in either the router or the server software manual.
 
If thats not clear enough try setting your router DMZ host
to the static ip address of your server nic
this address would be a higher number than the routers default
router IP : 192.168.1.1
nic card 192.168.1.100 and up to 225
I'm guessing you already have the nic set to static
If you can configure your server bind your WAN ip address
this may help
