How to play games online

I would really like to play games like Counter-Strike or Battlefield 1942 which are online squad based games but am unable to connect to the servers. My house is networked and my computer is hooked to the cable wirelessly. So how do I configure my computer/internet so that I can play these types of games? Any help would be incredibly useful. Thanks.

Rig:
P4
XP Home
768 RAM
ATI 9700
M-1 Revolution

I don't think we have enough server space to go to indepth about my problems......but the gaming problems are this:
1)Everytime I look for a server in CS of BF1942, MOHAA, etc. I tells me that it can't find a server. I think it has something to do with the fact my routers mask my IP address. Maybe?

well a reaally really bad way would be to set your router to make the ip address of the machine you are on a DMZ , that'll basically make it as if it were directly connected, but its easiest, turning off file sharing on windows would get rid of the biggest hole.

next is port forwarding, figure out what ports are needed by the games, and set them up on the router to forward, this is the better way of doing it, only open the ports needed to the machines neeeded, usually directplay needs a large range of ports opening, but usually theres nothing up there anyway to worry about

although this page is specific for winmx, it has a lot of the same principles, just different port numbers

Thanks for the program but unfortunately it didn't work. I too tried MOHAA but every time I tried to play I would get a message "Connection to server has timed out." Any more suggestions. Thanks
