I would verify with the vendor that the software will work though a
router (A firewall is not the only think that will limit broadcast
traffic). There maybe something in the program's .ini file (assuming
Windows) that would allow you to specify an IP address.

If it truly ***ONLY*** uses broadcast to find a server you may be out of
luck.
