racing online with firewall

[Guest zarker]

HI

I have setup a rule in my firewall opening up port 6000 for any application, accessing any internet site, incoming and outgoing, via UDP or TCP.

I still cannot connect to any of the servers in racelist with my firewall enabled.

I connect ok if the firewall is disabled, so there must be something else going on - getting blocked.

Any idea what it might be?

Thanks

thanks again

I've open the ports 6000-6002 UDP in/out.

i've opened the dx8 ports, and even the dx7 ports as well.

Still nothing - and i've made sure the servers i'm conecting to are in PRACTICE status.

damn

Thanks moondancer

I have Norton Personal Firewall, which i have configured ok for GPL & Vroc. Infact GPL works ok both from my Host PC (Win98se), and also from a remote PC on the network through Win98 ICS.

So far i've had problems in NK from both the host and remote when i have the firewall enabled - but its all ok with the FW disabled.

I was wondering if DX9 is using some extra ports?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
