Medium or high To enable Xbox Live traffic to pass, you must configure: • Choose Custom on the Firewall > POLICY - basic Page • UDP 88:88 and UDP/TCP 3074:3074 on the Firewall > POLICY - advanced Page Configuring Port Triggers Because the SBG940 has pre-defined port triggers for games using any of the following applications, no user action is required to enable them: • DirectX 7 and DirectX 8 • MSN Games by Zone.com • Battle.net® For a list of games supported by Battle.net, visit http://www.battle.net.
