If XP go to start .. then run.. in the run box type "taskmgr" Then take screenshots of what processes are running.. Post the screenshots here and then maybe we can figure out what firewall you are running. NOTE: I find it very odd that you have no clue what firewall software you have installed (is this your computer?) Link to comment

Wrathek Posted March 20, 2009 Content Count: 1839 Joined: 09/28/08 Status: Offline Share Posted March 20, 2009 if you have a router, most routers these days double as hardware firewalls. if this is the case you must "forward" the correct ports for the game. i'm not sure what it is for this stupid game, but a quick google of "ports required for WoW or world of warcraft" should tell you. and to "forward" the ports, you must get into your router, which is done in different ways depending on the router. my suggestion here is to also google something like "how to use (brand of router) router" Link to comment
