  Registered Member #242 Joined: Fri Jul 02 2004Location: UK Posts: 2 | (48) I have deleted whatever setting I had in place to allow me to play DFLW on line with Norton Firewall Running. Now I can get through to the Public Forum and once it connects to a game the system freezes as the Firewall does its stuff. If I disable the Firewall once the screen has frozen the game continues to load. Anyone know what port and protocol needs to be enabled TCP/UDP etc and does the IP address of the game server need to be included. I fixed this 3 months ago and forgot to make notes in my PC notebook. rgds Paul | ||

(27) Now where's the artillery. T34N. I've been playing on Hardmaps for a while now, and just now registered. I recently purchased a new computer and can't get into the game mode. Everything that you described as happening to you is now happening to me. A little help would be great about this Firewall thing. Help.....thanks L.H.O. (94) | ||

Captain Slow    Registered Member #3 Joined: Fri Dec 19 2003Location: Scotland Posts: 4651 | Best thing to do if you suspect a firewall problem is to shut your firewall down for a VERY short time, then try and join a game and see if you can, if you can then you definatly know its a firewall issue.

  Registered Member #60 Joined: Tue Jan 13 2004Location: Milwaukee, Wisconsin U.S.A. Posts: 674 | When I made the mistake of "upgrading" to Service pack 2 I ran into trouble like this. Windows was having a fit anytime I tried to play or host online. "DFLW is attemtping this", "Novaworld is attemtping that". But everytime it happened, this goofy little psuedo-window would pop up with a little shield on it and allow me to grant permanant access for the game. I think it's a new "security center" feature that came with service pack 2. Regretably, I don't know how to call it up if it's not present and in your face. (42) I just set it to my task bar so I could always have a handle on it. Maybe do a search for it and see if you can get at it... if that's the problem. You said your computer is new, maybe the service pack 2 is a standard thing now with XP pro. (19) <span class='smallblacktext'>[ Edited Tue Dec 07 2004 ]</span> | ||

| Life is like a box of chocolates... Registered Member #14 Joined: Sat Dec 20 2003Location: Ontario, Canada Posts: 2646 | Service Pack 2 in XP automatically turns the built-in firewall to ON. To shut it down go to the Control Panel, Security Centre, and turn the Firewall to OFF. You should only do this if you have some other type of firewall (ie, router, Zone Alarm, etc) | ||

I can go to Hardmaps, and click it. It switches to the join screen, and then locks tight as a drum. At that point, I have to restart, and curse alot, and kick the dog a few times, and then get a beer....(Ok, I don't kick the dog, that was added for dramatic effect) I have tried turning off the Firewall, and that had no effect on anything. I'm at a loss at this point. Just knowing there are BG's out there laughing at me is tearing me up....LOL Any and all ideas welcome at this point. L.H.O.

| Registered Member #2 Joined: Fri Dec 19 2003Location: Finland Posts: 234 | (100) Nemas problemas m8ie (101) Those figures are the port numbers that need to be opened in your firewall both IN and OUT settings in XP. I do not know if you at the point when you had all working had also a router connected to where you could connect other computers like your old one. If a router, that means that it could also prevent you from getting in to the game if they are not opened. If not, then it might just be those numbers that you have to type in to your settings in XP. Please bare with me..Do not have XP my self so we will se if WEDGE (96) , Grunt (95) , Trevor (99) , Zim (102) (99) or any other in (36) with XP can help you out here.. Not easy at all times, I know that for shure (42) (59) (32) [ Edited Wed Dec 08 2004 ] | ||
