On Linux, the networking seems to be fine. It is inconclusive if the Windows networking is okay. My recollection is that people have been able to play at least a few turns when a Windows peer was in the mix. More testing would certainly be most welcome. >Are there any ports that need to be > open in order to play through a firewall across the internet? The default port is listed in the connection window. This port can be changed if one needs to slip through an existing hole in a firewall. Hope that helps, Eric
