Hi Tony,

Online games use different ports so there's not one answer. If you have a true Internet connection, there shouldn't be anything stopping you. If you dial in through something like a free isp or something where it's not a true unlimited connection, they may have a firewall which doesn't allow traffic on those ports to pass through.
