I have recently purchased a Linksys BEFSR41 Router that is hooked to my Linksys BEFCMU10 Cable Modem. I am a regular with the Gamespy site. Ever since I have installed it I cannot host games on this site. I have looked into thsi with them and they told me it was the firewall that is in the router. Ok how do I disable it? Or better yet how do I set it up to use the ports that they say have to be enabled. The ports are:

6667 (IRC)
3783 (Voice Chat Port)
27900 (Master Server UDP Heartbeat)
28900 (Master Server List Request)
29900 (GP Connection Manager)
29901 (GP Search Manager)
13139 (Custom UDP Pings)
6515 (Dplay UDP)
6500 (Query Port)

Thanks for the help
 
First, from a command prompt, type ipconfig /all (if you use XP, 2K, or NT) or winipcfg (if you use Me, 98, or 95) to get your machine's ip address. Then point your browser to and if you haven't changed it, enter the password admin. Go to the Advanced tab, Forwarding tab, then enter those ports with the IP address you found before.
 
I have been having the same problem opening ports! Nothing seems to work on the Linksys router, expecially for GameSpy!!
