====== Which ports do I have to unlock on my firewall to play? ======

__Please decide which situation applies to you on the following list:__

  * **You only have the Windows firewall on your computer you want to play with. **
    * The aLobby already sets this firewall correctly for you during the installation, if the game was installed before installing the aLobby. Please keep in mind, that the Windows Firewall __must be enabled__ for it to work.
  * **You have a third-party firewall (Norton, ZoneAlarm ..) on the computer you want to play with. **
    * Note the port information [[en:alobby:ports|here]].
    * Additionally the **port 1900 (UDP)** in the **out**going direction for the s3_alobby.exe must be __blocked__! Otherwise the error "Timeout while loading open games" will happen.
  * **You have a firewall on the router.**
    * Note the port information [[en:alobby:ports|here]].
