I seem to have run into a bit of a router problem (maybee) that has had quite a few people stumped for a while. Ive run searches all over the place on this, hunted manually, and trial & errored till my brains melt with no resolve. In an attempt to get the rare correct solution to come forward, ill try to make my post as complete as possible, and hope to all things moce that someone will know enough about this game and networking to help me solve it.
I ran a dedicated server for a long time, all worked well, and i had bashed my way through all the hell of the initial settings and the shrubET mod. Recently i purchased a Linksys BEFSR81 V3 and set my network up. All settings are correct, WAN requests of any kind are not blocked, ports 27950-27969 have been opened. I run win2kpro, with an athlon xp, an AOpen GeForce Ti 4200, and a soundblaster audigy, all on an AT7-max2 mobo from abit.
I run the game from an exe with the targer appended to:
"E:\ET Serv\ET.exe" +set dedicated 2 +set pureserver 0 +set com_hunkmegs 120 +pb_sv_enable +exec server.cfg +set net_port 27960

now when i run the game exactly like this, the ip that it auto designates for itself ends up being a LAN ip (ie: 192.168.1.43) obviously this isnt going to work for a dedicated WAN server, so the next obviouse step would be to force the server into using a WAN ip by appending the command +set net_ip xxx.xxx.x.xx, however when i try this i get an error message in my server console at startup. The server log with the error reads:

the thing that gets me is that if im reading that log correctly, my server is still making contact with the master servers, and so should be in the list, but no one can connect even using the ip.
ANY advice at all would be GREATLY appreciated, and if anyone can actually solve this problem, they would truly be MOCE above all others.
