Problem: Server that was running fine, is now "not found" when I try to connect to it (or anyone else for that matter!). :)
History: I was playing a game online and having some minor problems. I went into my Linksys Setup screen to Applications and Gaming to open up more ports. A little while later I re-started my computer. At this point I was not able to connect to Ventrilo anymore. It ceased to operate!
Server Setup: I have a Linksys wireless router with 2 PCs connected directly to it and a laptop that connects via the wireless feature (the laptop was not on during this time). The Ventrilo Server is on one PC (IP was 192.168.1.102), and I play games and run the Ventrilo client on my second PC (IP was 192.168.1.101).
I have the server on a PC that uses the DMZ feature of the router. I leave that computer on all day, everyday (with the Ventrilo Server running). When connecting I use the IP I received from http://www.ventrilo.com/myip.php.
The server WAS working fine. My friends and I have been using it for weeks. Now it won't allow connections from outside my network (if I use my internal IP, 192.168.1.102, it works fine for me, but of course no one else can connect).
The strange thing is, when I run the server from my main computer (my gaming computer) it works fine! I have no problems connecting to it using the IP from http://www.ventrilo.com/myip.php (which is the same for both PCs apparently).
Both computers have the same Norton Internet Security software and settings. I have tried turning off all Norton software. That didn't work. I reset my router and changed the server computer to be IP 101 instead of 102. That didn't work.
Can anyone help me?! :) I like leaving the old server computer on all day so my friends can access it. I don't leave my gaming PC on since I am worried about its security if it is left open to the internet.
Why does the server work on one PC over the network, and not the other? How can I fix this? This is really weird.
Thanks for any and all help in advance!

PS. I tried running the server from my laptop and that didn't work either. It only wants to work from one PC on my network... of course, it is the one I don't want it to run from! :)
