Issues with my new server

[mattnaik]

my router's a netgear and there is no way to specify a specific protocol. So my assumption is it doesnt support any sort of transport layer filtering and all protocols are forwarded.

This behavior indicates that a port is required between choosing the server from the server select screen and when you actually enter the world. since netstat was only run when people were logged in, maybe there was no connection to the required port at the time for me to see
