Okay. So I run a CS:S server. I have 2 routers. upstairs and downstairs. The one downstairs has the server hooked to it. It recognizes the server just fine. however due to stupid IP requirements for apple port forwarding I have to set the private IP for the port to 10.0.1.124. I have the Ip set to that however since it's dhcp server is the downstairs router everything get's sent as a different Ip to the main router. My question is. Is there a way to direct traffic for one Ip to a different IP? If so how would I do that on a linksys wrt series router?
IP forwarding?

What you could try, is putting the server in the DMZ. (This should be done on your linksys router, and should not be a permanent solution) When your server is in the DMZ it will pass the firewall, which allows you to see where the problem lies.

What you have described is called a Double-NAT (network address translation, Public Routable IP -> Private IP range -> Another Private IP range). It is my recommendation to eliminate (where possible) one of the router/NAT devices. The problem you are experiencing is not IP forwarding, it is port forwarding (specifically, tcp). Check your configurations, and eliminate the double-nat. Then you will not need to expose any of your network to the Public Internet by putting a system on the DMZ.
I have to have this additional router. Otherwise my Gaming PC wouldn't have internet. I know it isn't called IP forwarding I just wanted to know if there was a way to forward traffic from one IP to a different IP because the apple router doesn't use the standard 192.168.x.x it uses 10.0.1.x I tried making my linksys work like a switch and disabled DHCP so that The apple router was the DHCP server for my PCs but it still didn't work.
