Findports

More and more games are played over the internet. Not only MMORPG, but all sorts of games with multiplayer modes, automated updates, or downloadable extras. And some of these communications of the games over the internet clash with firewalls, so ports have to be opened in these firewalls to make the game run smoothly. But which ports? That information isn't always easy to find. So the site Findports has compiled a nice list of many, many games, and which ports to open in the firewall to make them play over the internet.

The ports for World of Warcraft are, as far as I know, not necessary for playing, but they do speed up the downloading of the patches, as the Blizzard Downloader is a peer-to-peer application.
