ive heard that trying to play online games thru a network with a router is pretty hard.if i deactivate the nat firewall will this make it possible to play games as i normally would?
 
Not sure where you heard that, but I've never had trouble with my Dlink router, and none of my friends that have other routers have ever had any problems either. From the day I've plugged it in, I haven't had to do anything special like proxies or setting things up for a firewall, etc. I've used WinMX and all sorts of multiplayer games just fine.
 
I am a very satisfied Linksys customer and have no problems playing games online thru the router.

If you turn off NAT you can only have one computer connected. Kind of negates the point with a router.
 
If you are having trouble playing online games with your router, just forward the ports which the specific games require to the IP of the computer you wish to play them on.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
