Ok, I think my firewall is what's causing the problem with my server. I have Zone Alarm Pro and have had it for the entire time I've had this computer. I love having this type of security on here for as much(I know it's still minimal) protection as I can.
However, here's the actual problem: My server's ping/speed on the WOL server list is listed over 1400! Also, certain players state they can't get past the negotiating firewall screen. What can I do to fix this without turning off my firewall?

make sure you've set your lan ip's in the safe zone:
so add the (in my case) 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.15 to the safe zone,
als make sure your internet security level is set to medium, this must solve most problems.
The high ping can also be caused by a slow upload. Make sure you have plenty of bandwith to host. Further is a good configuration of your router/modem a must. Open only the most important ports and try to avoid dmz host.
