I've been playing AOC. And when i get to the screen where
i pick my civilization, team, and color. I can never see
anyone below me. And if i do they're always at a 30 ping.
The game won't launch that way. Unless the host boots the
people w/ the 30 ping. How can i fix this? I'm on a
cable router LinkSys made by Etherfast...plz help

Hi Steven,

Call Linksys Support, 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)
