You'll have to forward the port that half life uses (27015 by default) to your IP on the network. OR set your computer up as the DMZ. If this sounds too complicated... uh... ask Radeon! :p

Find out what type of router you have, then go find its website, then go find the documentation on the model of your router, then look up the IP for it in there(the PW too), then you can config away!
