Your problem most likely is that the Linksys router needs to be set to Port Forward certain port ranges, but the Linksys only allows it to forward to one IP address, not to the network or to an IP range.

 

I don't think you have enough slots for port forwarding for two systems.

 

Go to ThirdWire's site and look for a tutorial by StreakEagle how to set your system for MP playing.

 

If you have your systems set-up to do a dynamic IP configuration, then it won't work too well either. In my case I had to set the IP static on my system to allow the port forwarding.

 

You could put the systems in the DMZ zone, but that exposes the systems to possible malicious attacks.
