I'm not familiar with GUI router configurations, so I'm not quite sure.
192.168.x.x is a private IP address used with routers. To connect to the internet itself it still goes through your WAN IP. The difference between the 1 and 0 for the first x is just like... a sub-network. You can't use broadcast addresses nor network addresses (255s and 0s unless you handle subnetting, in which case there would be more but you would get more use out of your network... but for a personal network I doubt you have need to subnet), but everything else really is fair game.
As for why mirage doesn't like the 192.168.1.x, I'm not quite sure. :S
NINJA EDIT:
You -may- need to set a demilitarized zone (DMZ) depending on how your network security is looking. Avoiding problems is preferred, but if you want players on easily it's a quick solution.
