Hosting i-network games thru home router?

Hello all...

Having never hosted an i-net game before due to various issues, I have virtually no experience in dealing with this kind of problem.

I am attempting to host a game or 3 (Ghost Recon, Dungeon Lords, Quake 3) over the internet for a friend or two. I have played these games previously with my current setup over the internet, so the games work and the i-net connection is stable. But when I try to host it never works.

Current setup is Cable internet --> Linksys BEFW11S4 Home router --> home pc's. Can ne1 suggest tweaks or ideas to get this to work?? I would like to host a game due to I have home network that most players play on, with 1 or 2 at their own homes wanting to join in.
