i need assistance

Hi Frank,

Unplug your router and plug it back in after about a minute.
If you still have the same problem, call the router support,
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
