Course it hasn't.
This is from the Zone info page
Open Ports in Proxy or Firewall Some games will not load if your computer system connects to the Internet through a firewall or proxy server unless certain TCP Ports are opened in the firewall or proxy server. Most work, school, and public computers are connected through a firewall or proxy server for security. If you have a broadband (cable) or DSL modem, you may also have a firewall installed. To open these ports, consult the help files for your firewall software or contact your network administrator or IT technician for assistance. Ports that need to be opened to play on Zone.com:
80
443
6667
28000-29100
Note for Microsoft Windows 2000 or Windows XP Professional users: In order to play on Zone.com, you will need to log on as an administrator. If you are not logged on as an administrator, you may not be able to install components necessary to run some games or make changes to your computer system’s settings. Please contact the computer’s owner or your network or IT administrator if you need assistance logging on as an administrator.
So you have to open thos ports in your router or firewall config
EXCEPT
I work with a Netgear router and even with thos ports set up I COULD NOT connect with FS2002.
The ONLY way I could was direct thru a DSL modem
BUT had no problem with 2004 with the router in place
QUESTION
What changes did M$ make between 2002 and 2004???
