Are you *absolutely* sure of that?  Trevor Fiatal has publicly stated
that they're not blocking any ports.  I don't know if the individual
franchises have the option of doing things their own way or not...

That doesn't mean the port is blocked... it's pretty tricky to get NBT
going over the Internet.  I've tried and failed a couple of times...
:-)  The closest I ever got was being able to see a Windows '95
machine over the Internet with NT Workstation 4.0.

Open C:\Windows\hosts.sam with Wordpad or something and read it...
it'll help.
