I'm having problems playing multiplayer games through the Netgear wireless router.
I have allowed it in McAfee, but now, I think that the firewall on the router is now the problem. How can I change the settings on it?

You start by telling us the make/model of the router. Are you connecting wired or wirelessly? What is the version/patch level of Windows? What specific ports are you trying to forward for what game?

I'm connecting wirelessly. It's Windows XP, version 2002, Service Pack 2. I'm not sure what ports I need, (I'm illiterate in networks), but I am trying to use Gamespy Arcade to play Stronghold, Stronghold Crusader, and Empire Earth.

Are you playing locally with other players, or over the Internet?

If you think it is the firewall setting on the router, typically you can connect to it with your web browser. As a test, turn it off.

For the details, see the instructions with came with the router.
