Please help. I have set up my network at home and am having problems with port numbers. I am behind a firewall and the secondary computer cannot get onto multiplayer games when the firewall is on. Does anyone know the port numbers I have to enable on my firwall to allow the secondary computer to play rtcw????

Depends on the game. Why dont you ask the gaming website?

As far as your firewall, sounds like you need a more user friendly firewall. If you had a firewall like ZoneAlarm, then when you attempted to play the game, ZoneAlarm would identify the ports you are attempting to use and ask you if you want to open those ports or not (and give you the option of having those ports for that application opened all the time, or on a case by case bases).
