Re: All Online Server Connections Failing

Hi, guys! I just got an e-mail from TSF about this topic. I guess I never unsubscribed from it. Anyhow, here was my problem: the firewall in my dsl modem was turned up too high. I didn't even know it had one, and the problem was hard to pinpoint because it didn't give me messages that asked if I wanted to allow certain programs, like Windows firewall does. The only way I know of to adjust the firewall is to use the software Windstream gave me when I signed up for dsl. If you have a modem similar to mine, you could try searching through any software your internet service provider sent you for a "change firewall setting" option. If all else fails, try contacting them (if you haven't already). I solved my problem by doing a chat session with a Windstream tech support rep. Hope that helps, Timmay!
