Failing to connect to a game server

I am having trouble connecting to game servers. I am playing Counter Strike with Steam engine and everything worked fine until I have bought one more computer and created home network. I have connected computers via router and after that I was not able to connect to game server any more. Router is some Lynksys model and I suspect that this problem is somehow connected with router. Can you help me with this problem?

IT is very possible that this problem is connected with router settings. You should forward ports if you have not done this yet. This is how you are going to do that. Open your browser and type 192.168.1.1 in address bar. Enter user name and password (default user name is blank and password is admin) and enter router configuration. Find tab named Application and Gaming and enter port game is using, select Both for protocol and enter IP address for computer you are using for gaming. Save settings and exit. Now everything should work fine.
