I'm trying to play ants I have got the settings for ADSL modem from the
zone help pages I have both fire walls off, now I think the problem lies when
I load the game my real name come up in settings up rather than my nick? Two
problems, I can't connect to other ppl in ants, and my players status in
setup in game shows my real name @ my pc in stead of my nick when im in the
lobby...

Hi Eternal,

Seeing your Name@ComputerName happens when you're blocked
by a firewall. There's one on your computer or built into your modem.

Here's the List of all Ports used by Zone
and DX Games: http://mvps.org/nibblesnbits/PortRoute.html#ports
(See your ADSL manual or firewall's helpsite for self detailed instructions)
