World Of Warcraft Firewall.

ScottALot · 10-31-2009, 10:56 PM

I'm trying to download some patches for WoW and it constantly says "Your computer appears to be behind a firewall." . I turned Windows Firewall off, no difference. I turned my Linksys Router Firewall off, and I thought all was good, but I guess not. I got Comodo and nothing changed, but now I can't open Yahoo Messenger to talk to the guy who was helping me out (bomberboysk). I have AVG Free on here, too, but I doubt that's the problem.

With Comodo a pop up box should appear and your best bet would be to choose 'Treat this program as: Trusted Program' otherwise you could block it permanently.

That never came up... also, WoW says I need to open some ports, but I don't know how to do that with the firewall.

HELP! Bump

I get that often. I think running it as an administrator works, if not, I usually download the patches manually.

How do you manually download patches??

Do you know of any firewalls that are easy to use, not annoying, and easy to modify (open ports, for example)?

zonealarm. free and works great

Cool, BomberBoySK told me about that one, but I'm not at my house right now, so I'll get it later.
