Server-Client Trouble with two NATs

[reggie14]

So, I can't seem to get Sage to work correctly in my current network configuration.

I have a cable modem connected to one wireless router. My Sage server connects to this router via a wired connection. I have a second wireless router in a seperate room that is serving as somewhat of a wireless bridge. My sage client connects to this router. Each of these routers have their own subnet in order to get things to work properly.

However, I can not get Sage to work correctly. With this setup, I really don't know what ports need to be opened/forwarded. On the server router, I have ports 42024, 7818 and 31099 all forwarded to the server computer, even though I'm pretty sure this isn't necessary. With this, I can connected to the Sage server with the client, but I cannot watch any videos, as I recieve a network error within Sage (error-17).

As I don't know if Sage tries to open a connection to the client computer, on the second router I have forwarded the ports 42024 and 7818 to the client computer. Once again, I have the same problem.

In the meantime, the Placeshifter client works fine on my client machine, but not the standard Sage client.

Has anyone done anything like this before? I've spent so many hours trying to get this to work already!

I have a Linksys router connected to my cable modem, and a Belkin Pre-N router connected to the Linksys router. There's a setting on the Belkin to "act as strictly an Access Point, bypassing all of the routing and firewall functions." I have no need for it to route or provide DHCP, just to provide wireless. The Linksys handles those functions so everything is on the same subnet.
