SYMPTOMS
When you try to start a multiplayer game by using ZoneMatch, you may receive an error message that is similar to the following:

Could not connect to the ZoneMatch Server.



CAUSE
This error may occur if Port 2300 is unavailable (blocked).

You must have Port 2300 available if you want to play Microsoft Dungeon Siege as a multiplayer game through a firewall, a proxy server, a router, Network Address Translation (NAT), or Internet Connection Sharing (ICS).



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, open port 2300.

To verify that port 2300 is open or to open this port, please contact your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).

If you are the administrator of the network, see your networking software documentation to determine how to open this port.
