Game Server & Router.. confusing

ive recently set up my router and would like to know what the problem is, i host a game server of SOF2 but when i do log on to the game to play myself ( i am supposed to be the server ) my ping is like everyone else can see it instead of being 0. Now the other computer next to me when i put that in the game its reading as 0 and gets no lag.. whereas i thought both computers arent supposed to lag ( in the lagometer ) it jumps every so often.. not sure why though

only the 2 pc's are connected.. is this a problem or just something thats real?

do you use a program called gamerunners for setting up your server. very nice and free program for setting it up. do you have cable or dsl

I have tried the game runner, but that was before i had the router installed.. i dont think it'll make much difference as ive tried altering settings such as the maxrate etc.. i have 1MB cable

so you are running the server off the same computer you play on? with any connection you will get jumps like that depending on the traffic on the net. mine will lag but when i restart my server its fine then.
