The first thing to try is enable the Universal Plug And Play settings on your router (UPnp). This should work, if not you will have to do port forwarding, there are lots of guides on how to do that on the net.

there is a great guide on www.bungie.net if you search for 'open Nat' or Router or something. They explain the whole thing.

linksys routers are weird because over time they will go from an open NAT to a moderate NAT without changing any settings, but once you unplug it and then plug it back in it will go back to open. Try unplugging it every once in awhile. I have a list of the ports you need to forward, but how it isnt hooked up to a computer you wont be able to do it.
