Behind an Invisible Firewall

[Rodex]

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.com​

you should get the IP address (I see 216.35.123.102, yours may be different) and use it to

tracert ip_address​

I 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.
