This solution should be applied by both yourself and friend ...
Sounds like there's a firewall in your home router or broadband modem:
Call the tech support for that unit, and ask them to either setup a "DMZ"
(De-Militarized Zone which means the firewall is disabled) to bypass the
built-in firewall, or open the necessary ports in the equipment with you.
Here's the List of all Ports used by Zone
and DX Games:
