I have a Linksys router and am running a multiplayer game. In the past I've just been opening up all of the ports. Anyone know which specific ports I need to forward to run BG?

According to here:

You need to open the following ports to both TCP and UDP protocols, permitting both inbound and outbound traffic:

For BG2: ports 2230-2400, and 47624
For Direct Play: ports 2234 and 47624

Your readme.txt file located in your BG2 - SoA directory also has some info on configuring multiplayer games.
