Check the docs for the game.  It will tell you the ports that it uses.  Go into your firewall configuration and open those ports.  You should also set the firewall to forward those ports only to your machine.  Check the firewall docs for instructions on doing this.\n\nDo NOT disable the firewall entirely.\n\nAlso, many firewalls support UPNP.  With UPNP aware apps and firewalls, the app manages the ports on the firewall for you.  When properly designed this is a good thing but if poorly designed it can be catastrophic.  Most modern firewalls support UPNP but have it disabled by default.  Enable it while you're playing and disable it when you're done.

Did you check you admin setting on your server for how many allowable users on you network to use the server? Did you also register the IP addresses within your network?\n\nalso Your server should be an address that is not within the same array of IP address in use. \n\na router has a 10.XX.XX.XX\n\na workgroup computer has or might have a 192.XX.XX.XX\n\nyou need to assign the array of IP addresses that can be used within your network, BUT I suggest that your server not be close to any IP address of your workgroup computers for better security\n\n\nI just thought of this.. go to you command prompt on the workgroup computer and type the word net.\n\nThere you can config/verify/accounts/groups/file/server/start/stop etc\n\neasier to deal with there

You sound like a good brother man , i know i wouldve suffered if id started playing this game in school. the only way to do it is to go ito the "control Panel". then go to the "windows Firewall icon" then at the top of that menus there should be 3 tabs, general, exceptions and advanced. Got to exceptions. Port 6112 should already be on the list and checked as well as proabably a few more from 6112-7445.  Uncheck all of those. Tehn go and Apply it. after you x out of it go back into it and make sure u saved it correctly and the boxes are still unchecked. On older comps this will make it where he cant play it all . but on most newer ones it will just Drastically slow the game down alot and if they uprade it will take HRS to complete...so all this might do is make it where he can really enjoy it, ut he may still be able to play it...but let me tell you as a wow player..he cant do any of the real time consuming stuff cause people wont play with a lagger or DCer. Sorry man but thats all their is other than just making it where he cant get into Windows at all when your not there.This will make it where it syas the firewall is still up but the port is just closed. Any further questions Wow_Adamas@yahoo.com\n\n\nEDIT : to the previous message...not a bad answer man..but his borther could just delete the whole file and reinstall it eh. ona  good comp take like 15 min.\n\nEDIT: Damn dude  im sorry . but theres not much else you can do other than as u say break the comp, remove the back panel and jack up the motherboard and then put the panel back on..but if he takes it to get it fixed theyll be able to tell someones messed it up. your only other options would be to C) disable his virus protection software aka norton mcafee etc. and then go and get urself a few bad viruses. ussuaqlly these can be obtained pretty easily after turning ur firewall off and going to just regular porn sites. u can even look up viruses to download, or if u have an email account theen go check all ur emails..i periodically have to delete random emails because they are viruses. other than these man theres not much that  can do to seriously hinder the program running other than these answers. mebe unethical but jjust go to alotta porn sites on his comp with the firewall down...ur bound to get a few viruses. after a while his comp will run like shit and he may/may not want to dish out the 100 bucks to get it wiped. sorry man this is te full extent of my knowledge on ho u can fix ur problem.\n\nEDIT: ohh.. do u have his personal WOW Account name and password? u can go  to wow officaly sit and go to the Forums! then post some really nasty and racist posts...aka N word , a few sexual harrassments lots of cussing and basically be really really offensiv! people get their account banned all the time for this! if u dont have that info get it man. pretend u want to start playing and u nee dthe info to make a char or something! ok this really is all i can think of.

Probably the account is wrongly set. Try errasing the account and creating it again. If this continues to hapen try your firewall settings.\nBelow I set the address for incredimail support where it explains how to configure some firewalls.

Yes, thats a firewall issue. You need to turn off norton and its firewall if you want to play on Gamespy. Gamespy is a game client that has all these action interactive games. Its very sensitive to norton's firewall.\n\nIf you are behind a firewall/proxy and are able to change its settings, Arcade needs the following TCP ports open in order to function: \n6667 (IRC) \n3783 (Voice Chat Port) \n27900 (Master Server UDP Heartbeat) \n28900 (Master Server List Request) \n29900 (GP Connection Manager) \n29901 (GP Search Manager) \n13139 (Custom UDP Pings) \n6515 (Dplay UDP) \n6500 (Query Port) \n\nGo to this website on Gamespy and read about how you can allow those ports to enter your firewall:\n\nhttp://www.gamespyarcade.com/support/firewalls.shtml

First of all what firewall are you refering to ( windows firewall, zone alarm or another one ) If its the windows firewall, make sure to make an exception for avg to go through to allow it onto the internet, even if you do have it disabled, if it is zonealarm then it is still running and you need to get or let zone alarm to allow avg through the firewall. If you have a different firewall then you need to basically add it to the exception list of applications that you want to allow to go out to the internet.\n\nIf you need any help email me or post back :)

You don't have alot of information and I can't find any specific information about your router, so I will talk in general terms that apply to 99% of all home routers.\n\nFirst, set a static IP address.  If you don't know how to do this, ask another Y! answers ? and I will tell you as long as you choose me for best answer.\n\nGo to your web browser and type in http://192.168.1.1\n\nPut in your user name and password.\n\nLook for Applications and gaming\n\nClick on that, and go to port forwarding.  You will need to know the port numbers used by your application and tell your router to forward them to your static IP address. \n\nGood Luck

you might have a bad IP you need a new one, so you need to set it manually. Go to the network connections properties and click tcp/ip then click manual and change it to the IP you want.\nHope that helps

It's not exactly a firewall, but your router is running something called network address translation. This means that the router has a real IP address on the Internet and your computer has a private address (often 192.168.1.x). Since your PC no longer has a valid address on the Internet, this effectively blocks Internet traffic from accessing your PC directly.\n\nThis is great because it blocks some viruses and other unwanted traffic, and it lets multiple computers use the same internet connection with one real address. However, it also may block some things you want - such as games and P2P file sharing. Don't worry, there is a solution. What you need to do is to configure port forwarding on the linksys router (assuming you haven't changed any settings, it can be accessed through your web browser at http://192.168.1.1 with the logon name "admin" and password "password").\n\nClick on "Advanced" and go to "Forwarding". This screen will show a table of External Port, Protocol, IP Address, and a checkbox to enable each one. You'll need to setup mappings for each software application.\n\nFor example, the mapping for bearshare should be as follows:\nName: Bearshare\nExt Port: 6346\nProtocol: Check both the boxes for TCP and UDP\nIP Address: The IP address of your computer (to get this, go to start, run, type "cmd" and click ok, and type in "ipconfig" on the command prompt)\nEnable: Check this box\n\nFor online games, check this page to find out which ports you need to open:\nhttp://www.gameconfig.co.uk/\n\nIf you have questions on any other application, the best way to find out what settings you need are to google for the name of the application and the word "ports". The help files also often have information about how to setup your router.

check your IP  configuration it sounds like you need to make some adjustments.  The computers were never configured on a private network were they? How about the router have you configured that? See if the PC is getting assinged and IP address by the router. Go to start menu, select run, type cmd, then press ok, then in the dos window that opens type ipconfig and press enter.  Does it come back with your IP address, etc.? What does the default gateway say?

You are most probabaly behind a firewall and using proxy.Just go to settings> connections.\nThen select 'Use the following proxy:'\nFill all the details,by getting then from Tools> Internet options>Connections> Lan settings.

Go to Preferences and check to see if your Connections are correct.  For it to work (if you don't have a firewall, or use proxys) your connection should be "No Proxys"  If you have a firewall use the "Firewall, No Proxys."  That might be your problem.

If you have a dynamic IP address, it changes all the time.\nIf you have a static IP address, you can ask your ISP for a new one.\nTo find out what kind of IP address you have, talk with your ISP.\n\n(You can't set your IP address on another PC)

It may not be a firewall problem.Try unticking the "use proxy server box" and tick on the "automatically detect settings box" (in Tools/Internet Options/Connections-Lan Settings). It worked for me.

If you have SP2 installed, make sure that you either have an exception in your Windows Firewall, or turn off the firewall completely. \n\nTo test, I would recommend first turning off your windows firewall, to ensure that nothing is blocking your ping packets. once you verify that this is the problem, then you can make exceptions in your firewall.\n\nYou can get  to the firewall by going to start/control panel/Windows Firewall. hope this helps.

i'm not sure what you are doing wrong but i just typed in the url and went right to it. i use two different fire walls 1 software based & one hardware based and had no problem with my settings on a very secure level and i'm not even asian which that site is.so they are an equal opportunity browser try disabling your firewall for a brief moment and then attempt to access the site again if you get thier it's the firewall settings but I doubt it it sounds to me like possibly parental controls are set to deny access to certain sites based on language/content etc....
