Call of Duty 5 port fowarding?

[Jason09]

Ok. Try putting your computer in the DMZ of the router. If that still doesn't work, then I feel that the problem is still pointing back to Norton, and I will give you further instructions if the DMZ does not work…

[Reydal17]

um what is DMZ? i heard it was demilitiarized zone or sumthing like that..how do i go about doing that?

btw just wanted to say thx for all the help uve given me so far youve really helped me out here man

[Jason09]

You're welcome.
DMZ lets your computer have unrestricted access (opening all ports for all protocols.) It also is a big security risk, so if it doesn't work, then I would recommend disabling it back. Under the Advanced page of the BEFSR41, you should see a DMZ page. If not, then please post a screenshot of the advanced page.

[Reydal17]

well since this is such a big security risk then i have to ask..

what is the DMZ host IP address..? is it the static ip address? i dont wanna get hasty here in case i do something wrong
ill give u a screenshot, though i tihnk i have to fill in the last three digits of a static ip..

[Jason09]

Yes, the DMZ IP is your computer's static IP.

[Reydal17]

it didnt work so i guess you'd be right about the norton thing..what do i do?


btw just in case you know or not..
Soccer Confederations Cup
USA vs Brazil
Brazil wins 3-2 ...close match but still..if America won it'd be awesome

[Jason09]

I knew the game was today, but I actually don't follow soccer much. Anway, thanks for posting.

Back on topic, this website explains how to open ports in Norton.

[Reydal17]

Haha i got stuck on number 3..

it says click configure..but there a re two configure buttons in my firewall when i click personal firewall i get the first pic...when i click the right configure button i get the second one, and when i click the left one i get the last pic

[Reydal17]

and this is the third pic

btw i know these pics arent the best qualities so if you wanna know what some of the words say ask me

[Reydal17]

oh btw how do you get a link there? i always wanted to learn that lol
if its too much of a hassle and too off topic though dont worry about it , ill try to find out later

[Mcninjaguy]

The best thing to do with Norton is to get rid of it and replace it with something else

Free
AVG http://free.avg.com/
Avast http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html

Pay
NOD32 trial http://www.eset.com/download/free_tr...wnload_eav.php

[Reydal17]

um...why would i have to replace norton?
im sure there would be a way to configure the firewall...

[Jason09]

So if you click to turn the firewall off that still doesn't work?
As McNinja said, it may be a good thing to try other security programs, or you could just try uninstalling Norton, then test the game. It seems like every way to configure the firewall is failing.

btw, you get the link on the words by highlighting (click a letters or a word(s), then drag to the desired length), then click the hyperlink button to add the link under the words.

[Reydal17]

lol hold on dude i didnt configure the firewall yet i sent you those pics in my other posts because i didnt know how...it says configure twice i dont know which one to click on

[Jason09]

In one of those screenshots I saw a button near the top that said "Personal Firewall", and the button was in the "Off" field. I was wondering if you had tried that?

[Reydal17]

yeah i just tried it right now..and i still have the same problem

[Jason09]

I would recommend contacting Norton to see if they know how to configure the particular version of Norton you have, and if their suggestion still doesn't work, I think the only way it would work is to uninstall it…

[Reydal17]

*sigh* im just not that really motivated enough to do that...i can physically uninstall it and replace it with a program that mcninja suggested...but i just dont think its worth it to play...i can still play co op..its just that when it says 20 servers theres only like 5...its hard but its alright...if i ever really think playing is that neccesary then ill do it..thanks for the help though...again really helped me out=]

[Jason09]

Glad we could still be of help.
