Why can't i play games online ? it doesn't work on any of my games..

My friend has Windows XP and he can play online..
 
Hi Denari,

Did you configure your Windows XP Firewall to allow the game to access the internet?


If you did then there's likely 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: http://mvps.org/nibblesnbits/PortRoute.html#ports

To setup your router yourself visit: www.portforward.com/routers.htm
