Can't play age of empires:conquerors expansion on Zone

[Guest]

I need to know why I cannot play AOE:Conquerors online at Zone MSN.

Internet:
I am using cable internet. My provider is Charter communications

http://www.charter.com/site/pagenot...ww.charter.com/products/internet/internet.asp

Router:
I am using a Linksys BEFSR41

At Zone:
I can get into a room where it shows who's going to get launched to
the game. Once the host launches, I wait a minute or two having the
screen say "setting up multiplayer", then I get a "Unable to join" on
the screen eventually. It takes me back to room where it shows who's
going to get launched to the game. I have opened ports and have
searched for numerous possibilities. This is probably my last resort.
If you know of anything that can help me (sites/whatever) please let
it be known to me.

In the past:
I used to be able to play this when I had dial-up. Now that I have a router
and an internet connection I can't play.

Thank you all.

Hi Josher,

Call LINKSYS and ask them to either setup a "DMZ" 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
