If you want to gaurentee that it will work just specify your ip as being dmz. Throw in your ip and it will open all ports to that computer. You can find it under applications and games in the current linksys I'm looking at. Either that or turn off your firewall, both should work. After that it's just a matter of your internet connection and how well your wireless connectivity is.

If you specified your ip as dmz than there is no problem. The only problem is in your software. When you specify the dmz its such as not having a firewall at all to that computer. Check your external ip and check to make sure your all updated and such and that people aren't trying to search for you instead of specifying an ip.
