Hi Bob,

Instead of "opening" ports, you'll need to "forward" them 
to your gaming machine. That means that when your router
receives data on the CS ports, it forwards them to your
gaming machine instead of trying to respond itself. To 
find the ports for this or any other game, do a search at 
Google for the game name and the words "forward" and "ports":

"counter-strike" forward ports
