Firewall settings?

i play on online game, warcraft three, and it doesnt let me host games with my firewall settings, how do i change my settings to allow the game to acces my comp form a certain ip adress or however i do it? please help meFirewall settings?
Check the docs for the game. It will tell you the ports that it uses. Go into your firewall configuration and open those ports. You should also set the firewall to forward those ports only to your machine. Check the firewall docs for instructions on doing this.



Do NOT disable the firewall entirely.



Also, many firewalls support UPNP. With UPNP aware apps and firewalls, the app manages the ports on the firewall for you. When properly designed this is a good thing but if poorly designed it can be catastrophic. Most modern firewalls support UPNP but have it disabled by default. Enable it while you're playing and disable it when you're done.Firewall settings?
When u r playing the game: Pause or turn off whatewer firewall u hav, I crashed mine (Wins).. :P
