Router Problem

[CompCrazyFrog]

Hi I can't launch a pool game (http://www.terragame.com/pool/index_1_sort2.html)
My home computers connected through broadband ethernet router and seems my computer has one IP and router has another and game cannot find another computer.
I'm sure many people might encounter such a problem, please someone help or point me to some online resources:)

I'm assuming your router is attached to a broadband modem.. in which case the router recieves its IP address dynamically (or static if you've payed for one) from the ISP. The router in turn assigns your computers IP addresses using DHCP and routes information back and forth from multiple computers through your one ISP IP address. Typically your computer IP address under a router starts with a 192.168.XXX.XXX. If you are attempting to connect to an online game, it is quite possible that the router is not configured to open the port neccessary to connect to your computer .
You will need to determine what port is attempting to connect, also if the port is open and forwarded to your computer under your router settings.
What model of router is it? What internet service provider do you use? PM me if you have trouble.
