In flames, You need to get on the Zone.
Your earlier problems are because you either goofed up the Zone install (and it's not your fault....it's easily done)
or
You have some blocking software (a software firewall running, and WinXP has one by default) or a hardware firewall in the form of a router.
Some types of routers and certain ISP's can prevent you from seeing others online, but that's not the normal thing.
Try going to add/remove programs in control panel and uninstall the MSN Gaming Zone files. You may even clear the folders out of your Program files folder, but beware unless you know what your doing there.
Next go back to the zone and reinstall the zone files and setup etc. If you get to the page where the game Rooms are listed, and you don't see any players, then it's a firewall issue I'd say.
There are certain ports on routers that need to be enabled to fly online with some hardware. those ports are listed in the MSN Zone support pages.
I would try to organise an IP game thru MSN Messenger
