Windows XP Internet Games..

With your help my computer is running better than ever- however my Internet Games will not find other players.  Before reinstalling Windows I had no problems.  I've gone through the Windows Updates and drivers from this site and have installed everything that seems might help.  I don't see anything in my Hosts files but not sure if I'm missing anything.  Any suggestions on what could be the problem?

    Just tried a Int.. Checkers & Int...Backgammon & Backgammon timed-out & gave message Server is not responding , try again later.

    You can manually connect to the site http://zone.msn.com & select a Game though.

    Thanks guys..

     I can connect but it just searches for other players- never goes further.  I used to play on zone.com but I play spades and have found that there are a lot of jerks and cheaters in the spades games.. the Windows zone games has limited chat and you cant cheat.

    I just switched over to cable and the day after all XP internet games died...and I have spent 3 days looking for the problem...only to now find it's likely the server.  Good news! but also irritating in how much time I've burned trying to fix a non-fixable.
