Only way to bypass the Linksys' NAT firewall is to make the server running Counterstrike the DMZ Host.

If you disable your firewall hackers can really screw with you I wouldnt do it. Instead inable access for your friends manually!!

In the setup for your router, go to Advanced. Go to Port Forwarding. Port 27015-27015 then click apply. Your server should then work. Don't be surprized if people get booted after a few minutes; it's a well-known problem with the router.
