i have this same problem and are fixing it now, this'll be long but here we go..
the router acts as the informant for all internet progs and sites and servers to deal with and send data too, so instead of going to the computer data will be directed at the router, which will then figure out which computer wanted it and send it to that one.
trouble it, your computer is sending it's internal (it's machin, the actual CPU)'s ip address to the server. and clients sending to router etc.
the router says "oops, this ip isnt me." and disregards it. sending errors to you and the other guy.
so, what you'll need to do is tell the router to send all things regarding the internal ip address (your CPU) through this cable to this comp. each router hasa built-in configuration 'web page' where all you need to do is type in the ip to the router and type in teh username and password (varies on your router model and company) then find the correct setting to cahnge to make ips addresses go to yuor comp..
hopefully you still have your manual. look for something liek configuring the router or something. it'll give oyu and ip to type in and password and username (mine is admin/admin) and it'll forward you to the router.
exact settings vary so you may need to call a local comp store or summat.
whew. hope this helps.

part of my training course is programming routers and programmable switches. and i tell you there are a zillion of commands which do different things, but unless you are willing to get a headache to learn what u want to do. get a pro to do it, although i doubt if you would like that
are u sure it isnt a firewall issue (router-side,or comp-side)?

I have a D-Link (DI-604)router that can be configured via a webpage/interface.
Here are the ports that I changed,
I guess the first two ports listed are the most important, so maybe its enough to forward them to be able to host.
UDP 12203 MOH Default Server Port *
UDP 12300 GameSpy Monitoring Port *
UDP 12201 MOH Monitoring Port
UDP 12202 MOH Alternate Game Port
UDP 12210 MOH Alternate Game Port
UDP 13139 GameSpy UDP Pings
UDP 27900 GameSpy Master Server Heartbeat
TCP 28900 GameSpy Master Server List
TCP 29900 GameSpy Connection Manager
TCP 29901 GameSpy Search Manager
UDP 6500 GameSpy Query Port
UDP 6515 GameSpy DPlay Port
UDP 3783 GameSpy Voice Chat
UDP 6667 GameSpy IRC Chat
Screenie of my routersettings
This link has some more info http://www.castanet.ca/tech_guides_deta ... 2#firewall
Good luck

To find your computers IP address, Run the command prompt (Start > Run > enter in "command"(no "s)) Then in the command prompt type "ipconfig /all" (no "s)
There it should tell you all you need to know (and dont need to) about your LAN/WAN/Internet settings. Where it says IP Address... I wont insult your inteligence

what kind of router is it? If its D-Link then i cant help ya much there.
If its Linksys then i can only offer u one idea that i high DONT reccomend but can be a last resort... A very last resort.
//////////////////////////////CAUTION//////////////////////////////
web browser address:
http://192.168.1.1/
Log into the router
Go to advanced setup
go to DMZ Host
type in your computers LAN IP:
ex. 100
ex. 101
ex. 102
ex. 103
and so on and so forth
press apply

Congratulations, you have now opened up your computer to every possible hacker because now you have no firewall. That is why i sont reccomend this unless your dying to host or are feeling technologically suicidal. This dosnt just open up a couple ports, it open ALL of them thus making it impossible for a hacker to not get you. PLZ DO NOT DO THIS FOR MORE THAN ABOUT 10 MINUTES. i know it sounds lame but as soon as you press apply you are at high risk. I dont even know why i posted this.... ah well, use the info WISELY, use to not let anyone trick you into doing it. there i taught you 1 small way not to get hacked... or to invite everyone in to gets ur info... right... well im out.
