Nope it's a switch. Alright this may or may not help but i'm going to explain how the network is set up. Alright we have our main cable modem, and there's a cat5 cable running from that into a nic card in the xp server, from the server we have another cat5 running to the switch to connect the server to the net, all other computers also have a cat5 running to the switch. So i'm not sure if everything's getting confused there or whats going on. Anyway, i looked at the post you mentioned and tried switching the port to 6668 ( I changed the one in Options>connect>options, if thats the wrong one please tell me) and it didn't fix the problem. As for port forwarding i don't know if you can do it on a switch, and if you can i have no idea how to do it.
