do you have a router as well as the modem?

your modem is what your connection from the wall goes directly to.. it generally has one coax cable input/output (like what you put into your tv for your cable/satelite hookup) and one input/output for a cat-5 aka ethernet cable (what you plug into the back of your computer.
you use a router to create the ability to use more than one computer with that one cat-5 input/output slot. basically like your surge protected lets you have multiple things on a single slot in your receptical (electrical outlet.)

if you are having this problem with not being able to host games, the problem is either a router or firewall blocking the port..

hope i helped,
