tanka Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 this should probably go into that help forum but i figured nobody went in there so here is my question.. is it at all possible to play SWGB over the net with a firewall? if there is how? i have asked zone and all they did was send me back an auto-message.

tanka Posted September 20, 2002 Author Share Posted September 20, 2002 damn, i hope somebody knows, it'll suck if i can't play it online which is the best part of most games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DarthMaulUK Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 You can't play online with a firewall switched on. The transfer of information is blocked - so the game won't run. You don't mention what type of firewall you have. If you download ZONEALARM, which is free, you can still have your firewall on (zonealarm is a great firewall) but you can edit it to allow certain programs access to the internet, such as this game. You can then play online without having to worry about your security being breached. Download it from http://www.downloads.com type in zone alarm DMUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanka Posted September 20, 2002 Author Share Posted September 20, 2002 yeah, i already have zone alarm. i think it might have something to do with the roughter (sp?) it has only being like this since i got DSL, there has to be some way to play because i can play alot of other games online, i just can't host.

Sithmaster_821 Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 The router may have its own firewall. I know mine does, so you might have to turn it off as well. Hope you can play as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanka Posted September 24, 2002 Author Share Posted September 24, 2002 is the site in network options??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sithmaster_821 Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 Dont believe so. When you first installed your router, you had to go to some site that was an ip. Thats the site your looking for. Do it on both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
