Another way...
You can also setup your own dyndns.org account. They allow up to 5 names (ie: bobsmith.dyndns.org). You can specify via a client to them what your IP is and they update the DNS on their side so all you have to give out is your blah.dyndns.org and everyone can connect.
Now internally on the computer(s) behind this firewall, set a "hosts" file entry to make all blah.dyndns.org entries point to 192.168.0.1 (In win2k this is in winnt/system32/drivers/etc/, win9x its in /windows/)
Setup your server to use the blah.dyndns.org for the address and everyone, internal and external should be able to connect and all play at the same time. If the eqemu server doesnt care which IP it comes in on, it will send its responses back out.
I havent tried this with my Linux server yet, but I probably will when the emu takes a little more shape so I can let my friends outside connect and play along with me.
