you can set your firewall to allow access to to sites of your choice. Instructions should be in the manual.

In order to play multiplayer games with a firewall, you must enable at least one port on it to allow traffic back from the Internet. Sounds like you do not have administrative rights to modify the firewall. You need that first.

Most firewalls will let you access their admin feature via http, so just open a web browser and type in the IP address in the address field of the web browser. I&#39;m not sure which port MTW uses for MP communications, but I&#39;m sure one of the moderators or someone from CA will be happy to answer that one for you.

Anyway, there will be a place to enable TCP ports. Just type MTW&#39;s specific port number and off you go.

BTW, what type of firewall is it? You are talking about a hardware firewall, right?
