RE: online game help
Most likely either your firewall or your router. First of all, what kind of firewall do you have? If you don't know, what kind of virusscan do you use?
Next, if you use a router, what kind is it? Do you have a dynamic or static IP? If it's static and you're sharing a server domain with someone else in your house, they won't work. -

RE: online game help
Turn your firewall off. If it was your router, you probably wouldnt be able to get on the internet either.
Firewalls are overrated.Comment

RE: online game help
You can't turn the firewall off on a 2Wire router. They're built in.
Go to http://gateway.2wire.com and go to the firewall section. Allow everything.Comment

RE: online game help
YES.
Or, with SP2, you can setup exceptions for games. But really the windows firewall is useless.
Seriously, you have to know if you have a router or not. Here's how to verify. Start -> Run. Type "cmd" and in the new window, type "ipconfig". If the numbers begin with "192.168", you're on a router.
Better way to check is to know whether or not there is more than one computer in the house with cable internet. Then with some leet hacksoring, you go to your router's settings and setup port-forwarding for your pr0gs.

RE: online game help
it means you're computer has a USB to phone line wire and you plug that shit into the wall and draw your internet out of the wall, it means theres one DSL modem in your house and you're using it and so is another computer(this computer is plugged straight into the modem) it means you shouldnt have any problems what so ever its all because of gay ass firewalls
