Re: need help with an wierd thing

If you have Norton I believe it has it's own firewall built in. Do you have both that one and the resident Windows firewall turned on? If so i would disable the resident firewall and just use the one provided with Norton. You can go into the one in Norton and set permissions to allow or deny pretty much any program on your hard drive. Otherwise I'm sure one of the SmG leaders have an alternative and probably even proven work around for this issue.

Windows Firewall is a wet paper bag.
It's Norton, just disable Norton when you're playing any game.

Re: need help with an wierd thing

Enable UPnP on your router.
Just completely disable Norton.

Re: need help with an wierd thing

97% of all firewalls are useless, software firewalls are complete BS, just trust your router/modem to block what needs to be blocked.
If you still don't trust that, then don't go on the internet; security is only an illusion.
The government(s) have been hacked, so your pissy little Norton won't do sh!t. :lol:

If someone wants something bad enough, they will get it.
