Behind an Invisible Firewall
Hi im in a wierd situation. All of the sudden my internet or router decided to block me from Limewaire, Steam, Gamespy, and Azureus. It says I have no connection and or I am behind a firewall. Well ive disabled all my antispyware anti adware programs, internal xp firewalls, and I dont have and anti virus programs installed. I also checked my router settings and everything is the way it has been.
Computer: Alienware 51m 7700 XP Home SP2 (With wireless card) Router: NetGear WGR614v4 I am stumped beyond all belief right now, I dont know whats the problem. |

Could your ISP be blocking these?

Did you do anything before this started happening?
ie. reset your router, windows update, etc? |

Most likely it is your ISP. Change the configuration of these programs to use non-default ports.

I did port forward for Azureus, and disable my SPI firewall on my router, then restarted it. But ive set everything back to normal.

get a command prompt and try this sequence:
nslookup gamespy.comyou should get the IP address (I see 216.35.123.102, yours may be different) and use it to tracert ip_addressI get a 16 hop path to that address, and again yours is likely to be different. If you can get an end-to-end path to gamespy.com, then SOME firewall is your problem. |
