Cannot play games in Local Network

There are two computers in my home network. Both computers are connected to Linksys router and to the cable modem through this router. I am able to access internet from both computers and to share printer. The problem is I can not play games in local network. I set up a server on one computer but this server can not be seen from second computer. Any help?

You can try several things to troubleshoot your problem. Disable firewalls on both computers, if you have any installed. Then check router configuration settings. You will have to forward ports on router. This procedure depends of router model and manufacturer so it is best to consult router manual and see how to do that. If you can play games after this then start firewalls again and open port for gaming in them.
