Default Can't do LAN gaming over wireless, but can through wired

I have a DLink DIR-655 router with the latest firmware that is about a
month old. I have 2 wired connections to PC's and one new Hypersonic
laptop that has built in N wireless card. None of the 3 computers have
a problem with getting to the internet, and I can share files between
them with no problem. The problem is we like to play 3 way games
across the LAN. Any game we try (Age of Empires 3, Far Cry, etc.) with
a wireless connection, we cannot see the other computers to join the
game. If I plug in the wired connection, it works fine. Any help would
be very much appreciated.
Thanks

Me thinks you need to open up the proper gaming ports (see your docs) on
your firewall at your router.

I read some where that gamers like to use Hamachi to setup a LAN and then
game over that

I know it works over WANs so should work over a LAN to

Maybe worth a look and as mentioned, always check your ports :D
