Below are the ports that need to be opened for the classic games, and
Zfriends. Euchre, Ants and the retail games will need the DirectX
ports:
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
They include the ports many chat programs use to communicate so the
administrator may not want them opened.
There are links to pages for specific firewalls and routers on the
NibblesNbits page. I'm not that knowledgeable of the subject so I sent
you there.
