Well, I geuss go to your routers website, and see about opening ports, disabling firewalls, etc etc.

You can test your zone internally with the zone.dat modification described in countless other threads. However, external connections will NOT be able to play until the correct ports are opened on your "gateway device".

Hopefully you know your router's IP address?

If so, type "http://[routerIPaddresshere]/" to go to the router.

Well, assuming it is 192.168.1.1 like most, click here. If its not, just type it into your browser like this: http://192.168.1.1/ but replace the #'s with yours.
