and Allies" on the Zone? All the help file links I found
are no longer active....
Thanks in advance

The Zone ports are listed here:

http://www3.sympatico.ca/nibblesnbits/PortRoute.html#ports

"I broke down the ports listed in the those two articles to make this
list which is similar to the way router configuration pages refer to
them:

MsnZone: These Ports for Zone are TCP: 80, 443, 9999, Port 6667 TCP is
the Trigger Port for this Port Range: 28800 to 29100 TCP

DirectX 8 and 9: All DX Ports are UDP:

Initial Outbound Port: UDP 6073 is the Trigger for In/Outbound (Port
Range): UDP 2300 to 2400 "
