Huh. That's odd. I don't have to open *any* ports on my linksys firewall to allow play.
However, I *do* have to make sure that I'm running the 1.10 version of the client. if you aren't, you won't get in, no matter what you open up. Also, I'm assuming that you're running linux... if so, the high security option for most of the distros out there will defeat BZFlag, and most other multiplayer games from working, try disabling or lowering the firewalling on the linux box. (If you're on Windows, then you're wide open, and this isn't an issue.) HTH.
