KKS: sorry, but being behind a firewall do not necessarely means you cannot host ever ! same goes for router which are basically another computer with HEAVY FIREWALL !

it only means that unless you are a true computer expert and knows how to get into the router web configuration, you cannot change the firewall, otherwise you could simply free the port 1626 in the router's firewall and tell the router not to block that port if anything happens on it !

and it will let you do as you wish, which will also gve you the right to host games ! or join games !

in any case...
here is something that will let people be able to perhaps fix these problems in the future !
************** WARNING WARNING **************
DO NOT DO THESE UNLESS YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING, IT CAN COST YOU YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION IF YOU ARE ON EITHER ADSL OR CABLE ! IT CAN ALSO SCREW UP YOUR FIREWALL AND LEAVE YOUR COMPUTER COMPLETELY VULNERABLE TO HACKERS ATTACKS !

USE EXTREME CAUTION WHILE DOING THESE STEPS !
************** WARNING WARNING **************

1- Find yourself the IP ADDRESS of your ROUTER (generally... 192.168.0.1)
This is also called the GATEWAY for those who are on INTRANETs (local network)
2- Start your favorite WEB BROWSER and type int he adress bar the IP adresse of the ROUTER.
If it is the right IP, then the ROUTER will answer the call and send you his CONFIGURATION WEB SITE
By now you should be able to see the ROUTER's name and it asking you to enter the ADMINISTRATION PASSWORD.
Why so, because yes, the router configuration site can be seen by those on internet as well.
Now the password i can't help you, see int hemanual that came with the router. it should be there if you didn't changed it !
3- If the password and LOGIN were right, you should nowbe taken right into the configuration menu of the router !
In there there is a lot of options for you to touch, why ? because as i said, the router is basically another compouter !
Search around the buttons and see if you can't find anything related to FIREWALL. there should be a few options for it to be configured, by default all router will blocks all PORTs except for the 80, 21 and a few others i can't remember, why these aren't blocked ? because they are used for HTTP usage, if the firewall were to block them, you wouldn't be allowed to even go over the net !

ok... this is all i can do for you... except perhaps suggest those who cannot host to try and host on the port 80 or 21 since no firewall well configurated do not blocks them, but know that this suggestion is only a 50/50 guess, it can work but there is no guarantee that it will work ! so be my guess and try changing the game's configuration port to 80 or 21 !

in any case, you don't have anything to lose in trying different port if its just the ingame port thing !

hope this has been helping some who can do something about it !
