it depends on which game and the ics hardware/software you use. 
generally you'll get problems if the server only accepts connections 
from a certain port or the client needs to listen on a specific port.
check out your ics documentation which may contain guides for various 
games or the game publisher web site where you may find tips for playing 
behind a firewall.
