Help me disable my firewall

[Kain]

I am using my Linksys Network card for Internet. However, I cannot host online games. People said there is a firewall "in" in the card and I have to disable it. Does anyone know how?

I've never heard of that. I'm sure these people heard "Linksys" and thought of a hub or router. Those do have built in firewall protection. However I've never heard of an NIC having this.

It's a Home Phonline network card.

But do you know how to disable it for the routers?

There isn't any reason other than you guys just arn't doing it right that you shouldn't be able to host. There isn't a firewall on that card. Do you have any sofware firewalls installed or on?

Is this it? (http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?grid=34&scid=33&prid=130)

I could host games on my previous ISDN modem, but when I switched to DSL and started using this card I couldn't.

I don't know of any Linksys nic card that has a firewall. I could be wrong but I checked out the PDF on your card and it did not mention any nat firewall or software firewall.
