firewalls

[putty_thing]

just a quick fyi, firewalls before coming to the event should either be disabled (in some cases you have to uninstall them to disable them), or be configured to allow 192.168.0.0-192.168.0.255 so you can get tbg traffic.

Would just like to point out, even thought Norton Personal Firewall has a "disable firewall" option it DOES NOT disable it, it merely stops it blocking user level actions, information is still filtered as NPF runs as several services, you have to either set them all to disabled in MMC (msconfig on 98/ME) or uninstall it.

But then with that said, NPF wont interfer with to much, if you have it running only a few games will not work and you might not beable to see anyone on the network...
