Yahoo! Games works best with Netscape Navigator 4 or Internet Explorer 4 or newer. You may experience difficulties with older browsers. If you are using Internet Explorer 3.xx or lower or Netscape 3.xx or lower, please upgrade your browser to a newer version.

Windows 3.1, Dreamcast, and WebTV (or other Web appliances) do not support the Java necessary to run Yahoo! Games.

If you're using AOL, CompuServe, or Prodigy, Yahoo! Games should work just fine if you upgrade to the most current version of your online service and upgrade your external browser to Netscape 4.XX or Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.XX. After connecting to your online service, minimize the window and then launch your external browser (Netscape or Internet Explorer).

If you are behind a firewall or using a proxy server, you may be unable to play Yahoo! Games. Firewalls need to open port 11999. You will need TCP inbound and outbound access for this port. The games hosts are currently yog1.yahoo.com, yog2.yahoo.com, ... up to yog33.yahoo.com. You will need to do a nslookup on these hosts to find out the IP addresses.
