Problems connecting to multiplayer games.

[Guest]

Hi can anyone help me

Over the last month or so I have found I cannot connect to any multiplayer servers. I have tried various different things like disabling firewalls etc without any luck. So if anyone has any ideas it would be much appreciated.

Hi Bobcat,

Did you network your computers before this happened?
Sounds like there's a firewall in your home router or DSL 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
(See your router's manual or that website for self help instructions)
