is there a way to check which ports are in use?

If youy could provide some more details about your machine and the general setup ...

I assume you're using Windows XP ..

Open a CMD window, type "netstat -a -n"
You can copy&paste the output via the windows' menue.

sorry, should have thought to list a little about the pc:

winxp pro
intel p4
502(?) mb ram
directx 9c
comcast cable internet

should prolly be attempting to connect a dom3 game when i get the netstats, right?

Isn't connecting to a blitz server connecting to a MP game? As in, everything about it is equal? Isn't blitz just the name for the gameplay style - as in fast turns many done in rapid succession - and it's from the machine's point of view exactly the same as any internet connected MP?

yeah, which is why this seems so odd to me

i forgot to mention this, slipped my mind, but i figured out why the game was not connecting. the ip i was seeing was my local ip. i used an online tool to tell me what my actual ip was. if youre having this problem, a simple google search ought to turn up such a tool, i dont have the link at the pc im on unfortunately.
