Do a search for Linksys router.

McCloud,

Since you are running XP what model of linksys router are you using. XP has a networking protocol called UPnP that is not installed by default.

My Linksys BEFSR41 router is capable with the latest firmware of utilizing UPnP and DirectX 9 to handle all the port forwarding for my XP machine. My Win2k machine however is FUBAR'ed and must be manually configured.

Couple of links to old forums that should help with the Linksys. Also, make sure that XP firewall is disabled or similarly configured.
