I have 2 computer connected wirelessly to my Linksys WRT54GS (DDWRT firmware). The problem is that I can't in any way, let incoming connections to one of them. I have tried port forwarding and also DMZ function, but still any incoming connections come through, while to the other computer there is no problem with incoming connections. I noticed this when on one computer when I create Alien Swarm server then no-one connects in 15 min., but to the other people can join nicely. Can anyone suggest some solutions for this wierd problem.
NB! When the problematic computer was wired to my Speedtouch modem(/router?) then such problem didn't happen.
I made an image of my network setup as well. So what I want is to let people connect to PC 2.

Linksys routers have been full of fail firmware for a while now.
I once supported them and bought their products, but they just refused to work as advertised.
Well, DDWRT is much better than original firmware. IMO
BUMP
I really want to get this working. I know there is someone out there who can help me.
If one computer can successfully host and the other one can't and they're on the same router I'd think it could be a firewall problem. But not leaving the router out just yet, how is your port forwarding set up?

They're not on the same router. From what I gather, one PC is connected directly to the modem (and it works fine) and the one connected to the router does not.
First, is upnp enabled in the router? If not / Alien Swarm can't use it, can we see a screenshot of the port forwarding screen?

I was under the impression that one of the computers on the router could host but the other couldn't because of how it was explained -

Then he says -

I interpret that as both computers being on the same router but when to computer that is unable to host is connected to the modem it is able to host.
