Well like your sister said you have a firewall. And if she was right in telling you that you can't disable it and only your company can then all you can do is accept challenges and join people's games.

And a router doens't mean you can't host. A router allows more than one device to connect to the internet at the same time so that you can use the internet at full speed rather than splitting the connection speed between the devices. But like you said it has the same effect as a firewall and you can only accept challenges and join games.

i know 1 way to disable firewalls and routers but its kinda risky and u might get in trouble...

You can go to your router's settings and set it to DMZ mode. You may be able to host that way but it will render your computer vulnerable to internet hacks and viruses.

Thank all of you for your replies

hey onimus you say you know a way? please tell

Dragon Fuse · 04-24-2005, 03:08 PM

black_dragon22 · 04-24-2005, 03:46 PM
