Post the contents of you .bat file. The zone server should not care if you have a router or if the router is blocking all the ports. As for how to open then you will have to read the documentation that came with you router. Look in the routers manual for Pinholes or IP Forwarding. If you can find in the Manual a way to set up a DMZ Host that would work too. However setting up a DMZ host would leave all ports on you computer open to the internet.

Back to the Zone server issue the zone server should if your .bat file is set up right connect to the world server though localhost or 127.0.0.1 and if thats the case you router could not possiably be blocking the zone server from connecting to port 9000 on the world server because all the packets from the zone server are never actually leaving you computer to go to the network. They are processed and send to the world server inside your computer by the loopback networking driver.

So post your .bat files so we can see if they are set up right.
