Which ports do I need to open in my firewall to play games online??

Yesterday I decided to tighten up my firewall, and now none of my games will find servers online.

I know Battle.net listens on UDP 6112. Do all games use the same port??

AMD Athlon XP 2700+
Asus A7V600-X
512 MB of DDR RAM
GeForce FX 5200 (256 MB)
Seagate 120 GB SATA

No, each uses it's own port unless multiple games use the same gaming service.

Welcome to the wonderful world of network security.
