Behind a firewall?

If you're behind a firewall or using a proxy server, you may be unable to play Yahoo! Games. Firewalls need to open port 11999. You'll need TCP inbound and outbound access for this port. The games hosts are currently yog1.games.scd.yahoo.com, yog2.games.scd.yahoo.com, ... up to yog70.games.scd.yahoo.com. You'll need to do a ns-lookup on these hosts to find out the IP addresses.

If your computer is compatible but you're still unable to get into Yahoo! Games, please visit our help page on enabling Java in your browser.
