I am trying internet play and cannot because my computer is behind a
router firewall. The router assigns my computer 192.68.2.100 but the
internet sees my IP as 24.8.166.140. I need the port that Age of
Kings plays on in order to forward incoming data to my computer. Does
anyone kwow the port?

Hi Tom,

Call the tech support for the router, 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)

it is probable that your ip adress changes all the time,
i dont think that is the problem. Does your problem
happen when trying to join and being unable to do so?
