Hi Vern,
Sounds like there's a firewall in their 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:

(See your router's manual or that website for self help instructions)
