Put the machine in the DMZ

Logon to the router as admin

select firewall settings

select dmz host

check the dmz host ip address and enter the ip address of your gaming machine

say OK

Be aware that putting the machine in the DMZ exposes it completely.

So an alternative is to forward the ports

I belive they are 3074 for the game and 3658 for voice

logon to the router as admin

select firewall settings

select port forwarding

select new entry

specify the ip address of the machine

under protocols select user defined

give the app a name

select new server ports

select tcp for protocol

select source port any

select destination port single and 3074

say ok

repeat for the other port

You'd be better running wired than wireless.

If its just one game system, then dmz is the best easiest option. If its really a pc, then you will want to port forward instead.

Or there is a nifty little app that does it for you, you can download it at www.simpleportforwarding.com

After you do the verizon router, you MAY have to do something similiar to your firewall on your PC.

So keep that in mind if it doesn't work right away.
