Disclaimer:
I am in no way an expert on this issue so take my advice lightly.

I've dealt with this problem in the past back when I used to play Tribes 2 and the solution is pretty simple.

Step 1:
Enter your linksys router by typing http://192.168.1.1 into your browser's address bar.
Step 2:
I'm a little fuzzy on this one but there should be a section within your routers menu to the affect of "ip forwarding"
Step 3:
forward ports 2302-2303 and 80
Step 4:
Enter in the last digits of your computer's ip address where it asks for you to do so and check the box to enable port forwarding.

You can obtain your computer's ip by typing "ipconfig" into a DOS window (found under accessories in the start menu)
Example ip: 192.168.1.8

If that doesn't work then you could enable DMZ host(NOT RECOMMENDED!!). Enabling DMZ host basically bypasses your routers firewall, leaving you open to all malicious attacks.

Edit:
It could also be your windows firewall that's causing the problems.
edit2:
Here's a list of default linksys user names/passwords:
Default user names:

* Linksys BEFW11S4, WRT54G: admin
* Linksys EtherFast Cable/DSL Ethernet routers: Administrator
* Linksys Comcast routers: comcast
* All other Linksys routers: [none]

Default passwords:

* Linksys BEFW11S4: [none]
* Linksys Comcast routers: 1234
* All other Linksys routers: admin
username/pw source:
http://compnetworking.about.com/od/r...ys_passwds.htm

Edit 3:
Your router's ip may be different than 192.168.1.1.
after typing in "ipconfig" on a DOS window your routers ip will be listed after "Default Gateway"
