Online game blocked

Miragist · 03-09-2008, 08:50 PM

Well, first off i am a gamer. That said, one day i go to log onto one of the online games i play, and it will not let me open it. I double click the icon, and i get the box that says "Connecting to launcher update server", then after about 10 seconds it closes. I asked for advice or help from the customer service people for RF Online(the game i play), and after about a month, we established a consensus that the problem is my networks card. The customer service guy asked: Can you click on Start >> Run and type msinfo32 and click OK
This will display the System information screen.

I did so and we agreed that the correct error message is: The IP address lease 192.168.254.1 for the Network Card with network address 001111CC4DF2 has been
denied by the DHCP server 192.168.254.254 (The DHCP Server sent a DHCPNACK message).


which basically(as he told me) means that my networks card is blocking the game's server for some odd reason. That is all he could tell me. Now i know NOTHING about computers, so this is a whole different language to me. can ANYONE please assist me? It's been about months that i've been tryin to get help, lol. Any help is appreciated, thank you.

The game is probably blocked by one of your firewalls. Make sure that it is not blocked in both microsoft and your personal router firewall. ALSO, some games require firewall and do not allow you to play in a DMZ.

All my firewalls are turned off and always have been, but to make sure, how can i check each of those firewalls?
