You need to go into the 2WIRE Router setup and open the firewall for Gamespy.

(There are two kinds of firewalls. One is a software firewall, controlled by programs such as Windows Firewall or Norton 360. The other is a hardware firewall, which is the one you're going to open up by going into the 2WIRE setup.)

I'm not sure if your setup is located in the same place mine is. Here's how I get there:

Open your browser and type in http://192.168.1.254/setup ... type in your password.

Then click Next a couple times til you see a FIREWALL SETTINGS tab and click that too.

Under EDIT FIREWALL SETTINGS click the button that says ALLOW INDIVIDUAL APPLICATIONS.

On one of the drop-down lists, either ALL APPLICATIONS or GAMES you should see GAMESPY ARCADE ... ADD that to the list of HOSTED APPLICATIONS.

Click DONE and exit out. You should be OK now.

If not, you may have to dick around with some of the other settings, such as selecting DMZplus mode or USER-DEFINED applications.

: : I just got the AT&T high speed router and it is also the 2wire one, so PLEASE let me know how to launch with it.

: thanks much
