  In case anyone has the same problem.  I installed a hub between my dsl modem and my router.  The dsl modem was hooked into the hub's uplink port and the router's  WAN port was plugged into a port on the hub (I left the port next to the uplink port open).  All the computers I wanted behind the firewall were hooked into the router.  The game server was then hooked directly into the hub.  I then ran RF as a dedicated server.  I then ran RF from my computer.  My server did not initially show up.  However, I ran winipcfg on the server, got the ip address and added to the computer that I wanted to play on.  I also used port 7755 because that is the port RF wants.  As soon as I did that, my server showed up.  It was great having a ping of 20 when I am normally in the low to mid 100's. 
Hope this helps someone else.
