Most routers should have some kind of set up program/interface, that is either installed on your computer, or via a web browser when pointed to the IP of your router, have a look at the manual for the router and see what it says about accessing this. Or you could try the linksys website for a manual.

Then, in theory, you just need to find port forwarding or DMZ in the routers config menu, and input the correct ports an IP address for the games you are playing.

There are 2 Linksys routers listed in the SFC3 network readme, it might give you some idea on where to look to configure your router.

There is an administrative function built into most routers.  I think that if you use the following net address you will be able to to access this function.

Linksys has downloadable pdf documentation on their various routers.  Link to linksys home page
