Disclaimer: I don't have a router or cable modem at home.

But, in other threads I believe some ports have to be opened for internet gaming. The router's firewall/security may be blocking necessary ports.

Do a search of the forum and see if you can find anything out.

Have a read through the network and multiplayer readme located in sfc3dir/help/docs or under the sfc3 group in the start menu, it lists which ports need to be opened, and examples for a few models.

If you still have problems have a read throught this thread as well as the one listed above, http://forums.taldren.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=75277&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=2&fpart=1
