Firewall problem

[sonar]

Ok heres the problem. On Zone Alarm I allow the program to access the internet with both access and server rights.

When ever I play the game in multiplayer it gives me a cannot connect error, which it does not do when I shut the firewall off completely.

Now heres the kicker. When I shut the firewall off and play mulitplayer, I get an Internet Explorer (which has net access by direct permission only, now irrelevant since I had to shut the firewall down) cookie/popup tone.

So I do a scan of my system and bang I've got an unknown trojan. I clean the system, restart, recheck, no trojan found. Play multiplayer, and bang, its happened again.

I assume this is a Gamespy thing. Is there anything I can do without disabling my firewall? I get the idea that Gamespy isn't going to let me play with a firewall because it doesn't like the fact that it can't install its crap while I'm playing.

This game depends so heavily on multiplayer, I've done the campaigns I want to play and not have to compromise my system.

Thanks.

You should be able to give permissions for the dawn of war executable to run through the firewall.

[sonar]

On Zone Alarm I allow the program to access the internet with both access and server rights.

I'm sorry if this wasn't clear. The program has full internet permissions.

Any kind of hardware router that you have to forward ports on?

[sonar]

There is no router.

This is a DSL phone modem. No other computers are connected to this line.

Obviously the firewall software is not properly configured. Have another look at it.

Have you checked the rights for gamespy - I think there lies the problem !!

Hello

I have the exact same problem. I have given full access rights to the w40k exe and I am successfully able to log in to the lobby area. However, whenever I try and join a game I get the following error:

"The host could not be found, the host may have quit or there may be connection issues. Make sure both have correctly configured connections, firewalls and routers."

So I then disable Zone Alarm and am able to connect no problem at all.

What I don't undertand is what my firewall is blocking that is causing the problem. Any connections initiated through the 40k exe will be allowed, and Zonealarm will prompt if there is any new program which is trying to access the net (which it has not done).

I've pasted the warnings.log below, in case it gives anyone any clues.

Thanks

Tug
