Re: Connection Problems



Hi William C. Neitzel,

The first step to troubleshooting that issue would be to disable, or
uninstall the two (possibly conflicting) firewalls: Norton's and McAfee.

I would actually suggest uninstalling them, simply because many times
disabling or exiting a software firewall will not stop it from blocking
the game, as it only closes the user interface not the actual firewall.
