Well i was wondering if there was anyway to turn it off for when im playing games. See i play Unreal tournament and with my old DSL(BIGNET) people use to be able to join my room. Well i switched DSL servers(Ameritech) and now people cant join, Is there any way i can turn this off for just game use and it to stay on when im online. Anyway around the firewall so people can join my room. Thanks for any info

You should be able to enable IP forwarding through your firewall. You can enable certain TCP/UDP ports while disabling others. Find what port you connect through, then enable it through your firewall.

You should seek an answer/advice from ppl who play that game and use firewalls...is there a UT forum you can visit? Also try searching on Google.com
The medium you are using to get the connection doesn't matter - cable, DSL, etc. (ppoe can be a biatch though)

The reason why I have the trouble is because my firewall automaticaly blocks "unknown" packets!
In order for me to be able to play online with others my connection has to be able to allow those packets.
It is easier to just turn it off than to try and filter what I need! :rolleyes:

This is a good list of ports used by games: Practically Networked Opening a few ports is way better than turning off the entire firewall, especially when playing games online.
