Hey y'all,
I just got Norton Internet Security and well I use to be able to play but now I can't. I checked the firewall button in the network place but it didn't work. It still won't let me on. What do you recommend?

Hollis 11-03-2004 05:15 PM

Try disabling Norton Internet Security while you're playing, or try going to your network settings and check "allow others to share/connect your internet connection" = /. Anyway, doing this should help. If not, I think you might have to try a different security system.. = /

Elena 11-03-2004 06:24 PM

Thank you but that didn't work....And i'm not about to get a new anti virus thing..that thing was way too much money to just throw away....

Any other ideas...

YokoX2.0 11-03-2004 06:48 PM

Perhaps you have a Hacker in your Network, i use Ad-Aware to get rid of hackers ,spys ect ,ect ,ect. so if you want to you can try that.

Bob~Marley4004 11-03-2004 08:37 PM

Well, you really can't do nothing about.. but you can try one thing that will probably work, try typing in AUTO .. where it says Local IP .. oh yeah.. try checking "old connection mode for firewalls" :biggrin:

Elena 11-04-2004 04:57 PM

Can someone plan a time to come on with me? I'm going to try different things to see if it'll work. Plz accept only if you usually are able to play online.

Try pressing F5 as soon as the game comes on and keep on pressing it until it works.

Elena 11-05-2004 05:38 PM

...I pressed f5 and it reloaded the whole game...

KenDaShoto 11-05-2004 05:57 PM

Elena usually when u check that firewall button u have to wait a bit i suggest playin story mode for a round or two and then it should work thats what i do

Vash 11-05-2004 06:06 PM

Can you play quick games?

Elena 11-05-2004 06:44 PM

Well, actually I've only played once or twice...once against some guy and he hosted and once against byrdy and I hosted...I don't know how I did it...for byrdy but I think the ctrl worked for the other guy.

Thx all for helping btw. I'll try the waying thing

Elena 11-08-2004 04:31 PM

QUIET_KILLER 11-14-2004 10:44 AM

Are you in the game elena some one could help ya :biggrin:
blanka09 is a great mod there for the community to help with problems :cool: huh

blanka09 11-14-2004 01:58 PM

um.. I've checked around.. and I didn't see you in the servers (probably passed out at the time you came in :biggrin: )... so just send me a private message or contact me on AIM

Norton should NOT inhibit you from playing the game... cause I have 2005 which is more strict as far as internet transportation is concerned.. so yeah :biggrin:

Elena 11-14-2004 02:05 PM

I have 2005 too..the internet security one...and I can't host or anything...do you guys think it's the ethernet cable..if so should I change it to the usb one.

Beyonce2004 11-14-2004 04:39 PM

so are you going to get msn messenger or add me at yahoo?

Elena 11-14-2004 05:03 PM

I guess I could get yahoo messenger...but not today... I need to go. I'm sorry and thx for your help.

blanka09 11-15-2004 12:04 PM

Next time make your own topic. You can't just go in others and post that you need help with something. Don't want to get things mix-up and such.

But anyways, do you have a firewall??

Dark_Paladin_X 07-23-2005 07:45 PM

ok...allow me...I have Norton Internet Security. I suggest you use the download version for it.

When you first open the game, you should get a window pop-up that looks like this.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...X/c099b1a5.jpg

You have to chose the option i have selected there. Eventhough it says high risk, it's up to you whether you want to allow all port connections to go through. If you don't you won't be able to host.

Once you accept it and load the game, you HAVE to check off the firewall boxin options or you still won't be able to host.

and there you have it!

btw...i barely ever see you in the servers....waddup wit that?

loadingbar 07-26-2005 02:17 AM

i dont use norton, i use the one with windows, wherre it will automatically update or ask you to... cox internet security or something
