Firewall!

[SwiftSniper232]

Haha, I don't use a firewall, but I wouldn't recommend it, i could probably beat the world record for fastest Windows xp/vista installs, I reformat and install at least every three months, takes me 2 hours to get it back to the way I left it lol.

Heard good things about comodo though... Might want to check out your router as icishoot said.

^ should consider imaging software, you would be back up in 10 mins rather then 2 hours

[IcIshoot]

I don't know swift - I may be able to beat that lol - even with out imaging software


And like steve said, imaging software makes it even faster. I have an image sitting on a hidden partition on my game server. All I have to do is reboot into the hidden partition, restore the image and I'm done - 20 min I have a system back to how it was just after I reformated every thing, complete with the game servers, firewall, etc all ready configured and ready to go

i dont even use a firewall.. I got a router that does the job.

My router is retarded...anyway my friend told me to check if IIS was enabled and it doesn`t look like it is.

I don`t think it is the firewall, has to do with W2k for some reason.

Just got to properly set it up

When working on my game server I don't get very many requests to allow programs. And when I do, I don't just say allow, I tell it to treat the application as a trusted application, keeps it from asking again.

I did, but the version I tried didn't work, didn't matter what you did it still wouldn't allow the programs to send/recive data on the specific ports.
