hi, i recently added another router to the network in my house. so currently i have a router connected to the modem, and then a line running from that router into my room, which plugs into my router.. this router has 2 PC's connected to it (one being the server for my game). originally it was just the one router in my room with the 2 PC's, with the line coming directly into the router. i opened the ports for my game to work and that went fine.. however, how do i open the ports on the "parent" router so it will send packets for my game to the inner router, which will send them to the server? the IP address of the parent router is "192.168.1.1", and the IP for the router connected to the 2 PC's is "192.168.2.1". the former is a linksys router and the latter is a microsoft one. if i go to the routers web page, and try to mess with opening ports, it already has the IP address prefixed as "192.168.1.blank", where i can fill in the blank. however, the child router starts with 192.168.2, so im not sure how i can get this to work.. maybe im missing something obvious here? thanks for any help.

after talking to a few people, im begining to think this might not be possible... do i need to hook the server up to the first router? this means i need to run 2 lines through my house, which i dont want to do.. surely there must be a way to get this to work?

thanks for the replies, especially GCS! the link GCS posted guided me through what i had to do, and its all working now.. thanks again.
