How do I set up port forwarding for my game server?
I'm trying to host a Counter-Strike server but my friends can't connect to it. Someone said I need to forward ports on my router. I have a Linksys WRT54G. What ports does Counter-Strike need? How do I access my router settings? What's my IP address — the one in Windows or the one on whatismyip.com?

Newegg is your friend for parts. Way cheaper than Best Buy or CompUSA and the customer reviews actually help you avoid junk. Just watch out for shipping on heavy stuff like CRT monitors. Read the reviews before you buy ANYTHING.

Honestly at some point a clean reinstall of Windows fixes more than any amount of tinkering. XP gets crufty after a couple years. Back up your files, find your product key, and do a fresh install. It'll feel like a brand new machine.
I always tell people: buy a UPS battery backup. A $40 one will protect your PC from power surges and brownouts that slowly kill your hardware. Lost a motherboard to a thunderstorm once. Never again.
