i have checked my firewall and router and its all set up and i also ran the test provided on these forums and passed it. But the weird thing is i am having the same sort of problem with Battlefield 2 and the thing is both these games are powered by the gamespy servers... so anyone got a suggestion to help me?


Edit: heres the BF2 error basically the same

Heh. That one is new... Not quite sure what to do with it.
Can you connect to the internet directly to rule out a router problem?

[Sprooty]

yes i can, i will try that tonite, i have to go to school right now. :(

gah it was my firewall program sygate even if i had the games allowed it would'nt work so its now uninstalled. but should i worry about that error?

The games are running fine now, turns out it was sygate.

If you're looking for a free firewall, I can recommend Kerio personal firewall - it worked with DoW for me, and is a pretty powerful software firewall.
