i have this alcatel speed touch pro router with a [-peep-] firewall here in jamaica and i cant play any [-peep-] GAMES! So i call tech support at Cable and Wireless, and ask them how to disable to firewall and the retard on the phone said " i dunno... this is only tech support", and i was like "no [-peep-]!"!!
and THEN I was like "you came over and isntalled it your self.." and he was like.. "oh, i never even knew that we did installations". WHAT A [-peep-] IDIOT. So now i have no idea what to do and the manual makes no [-peep-] SENSE! If somebody knows how to do this, then please TELL ME!!!!!!!

Sounds like you may need to open some ports in your firewall to get your games working. I'm not entirely familiar with alcatel routers, but there are probably options to open all ports(firewall disabled basically), and options for opening certian ports(port fowarding) on different ip's in your home network in the admin menu of the router. I also looked at alcatel's website, but couldn't find your router. Do you have a model #?
