I have to say I have not used the packages you have mentioned.  However
it sounds like you need to open certain ports on your firewall to let
connections get to your machine.  Many games require ports to be
forwarded through a firewall.  Outgoing connections are generally
allowed but connections that originate outside your firewall will be
blocked unless you use port forwarding to let them in.

You will need to find out what ports your game or application needs.  

You mention you are having problems with something other than games but
provide no details.  That makes it hard to help.
