Router Trouble When Hosting

So I can't figure out how to host games. I've followed all the basic DosBox and 1.40 patch instructions. I can connect to other people's games, but I can't host. Does anyone know how to configure Linksys routers to get game hosting working? I'm one of three computers on my network, behind a router. I set up a static IP for my machine, with the proper subnet mask and DNS address, and forwarded 213 UDP to it in the router setup. I turned off my Windows XP Firewall. I then changed my dosbox.conf to have the line ipxnet startserver, removing the ipxnet connect line. Still no luck. Aynone have an insight?

Forward a certain port on your router, such as 5678, and then try starting the server with that specific port number for them to connect to, like this: "ipxnet startserver 5678". Then they will have to have "ipxnet connect (IP address here) 5678" in their dosbox config file. That is what did it for me.
