Can you see TPU in your in-game server browser?

I'm noticing some irregularities in the way TPU is appearing in the in-game server browser. This may be due to some router configuration changes I made when I was setting up the BF2 server.
Unfortunately, diagnosing this problem is difficult from where I am, because my computer is on the same network, inside the same router, as the two game servers.
Now, obviously people are able to join and play on TPU, but I know many of you are probably connecting using the WAN IP address (174.6.225.213), or using XFire or HLSW to connect, thereby bypassing the in-game server browser.
But could I ask you all to check your in-game server browser? Once you're looking at the INTERNET server list, click the UPDATE button to rebuild the server list, then look for "Tanks 'n Planes Unlimited". Let me know what you find.
If those of you running BF2 could do the same thing in that game's in-game server browser, and let me know if you see "[TPU]BF2..." that would be extremely helpful as well.
Obviously having the servers appear in the in-game server browsers is not necessary for people to play on the servers, but it will help in attracting new players.
