Got one and am firewalled and have been ever since the start of Flufs server and cant for the life of me or astronauts, for that matter, figure out how to fix it...

Anyone on TS or VT help me out?

If you already have FireWall Software, an easy fix is to set it for the DMZ option and keep you firewall set and everything should work fine.
Otherwise, you'll have to set ports for just about every online game you play.
That's what I wound up doing, anyway. Nice and easy, just the way I like it...

It's a D-Link broadband ethernet router. I'll have to assign ports I suppose. How I do that?

Actually, I think gamespy is more of the problem.

The first person shooters I play tend to work fine with both software and hardware firewalls. For Gamespy, however, I have to open a seemingly hideous number of ports in the firewall that have to be manually shutdown after playing (well, not really since I refuse to do this and therefore cannot play SFC online)

Here is what I forward with my Linksys. Pretty sure the DLink forwarding config page looks much the same.
