Online Gameplay

[mogadishu]

I've never played a game online, i found it too much trouble to figure out how to set it up, but now that i have a better video card i think its time i learn. I have a router which im guessing is why i cant ever connect to any servers when im trying to play. Anyone know what I should change on my router so that i can access internet games? i have a linksys router if that helps..

I think you have to check if you have all the ports enabled , calll your ISP and tell them to open all ports, mabe you just have port 80 open (this is the one for HTTP) i had the same prob and i told my ISP to open all ports and now i can play CS all day and night :D
