Firewall Help

525 Views 4 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  White Cluster
I'm pretty clueless when it comes to computers.:spock: My son plays the Free Realms game and for the last 2 days it is not letting him on saying he has to adjust his firewall settings.
1. Where do I find these settings they speak of and...
2. What the hell do I change them to.

Thanks,

Dave(idiot)

On Windows XP, the firewall settings are found in the control panel. I don't have one in front of me, but I'm pretty sure that's the same in Vista and 7.

See the following page for port information:

It personally would make me a little nervous opening up all those ports, but that's just me. Did you recently get a new router or computer? I wonder what caused the change.
If it is allowed in your firewall, the ports may be blocked at your router (if you have one), in which case opening them up is slightly more complicated.

yup, that's what I'm thinking, especially if it had previously worked, and he didn't purposely change anything.
It was working fine up until 2 days ago. I know he put in some cheat codes he got from IGN but no new software or hardware has been added..I looked at the page Jeff posted but couldn't find where those ports are. I'll try again tomorrow. Thanks for all your help.
