What is known as 'port forwarding'.
Get the router manual to find out how to set it to forward all traffic on the port that the game uses to your computer. You may need to enter a password to change settings on the router, though.
My router doesn't let me do this cos it's a really cheap one but that means my son can't spend all weekend playing CM4 online.
