This sounds confusing, but if I understand correctly both computers are behind the Linksys? If so, then nothing is necessary. If they are going out to retrieve time, nothing is necessary either. If they are going to be time servers for someone outside the router, then they would likely require a port to be forwarded. Ports can only be forwarded to a single host, however.
