The windows firewall doesnt block (i think) but if ur winXP firewall is the only one and u turn that off ur screwed!
U will get many shit and virusses on ur pc, i had it 2: my firewall was shutdown for a week and i had popups until i formatted the whole pc!
So i suggest to turn it back fast on if its ur only one.

I think its ur modem or another firewall blocking.

Disable the firewall in the Internet Connections.

DO NOT disable the windows firewall if you have no other. Look, that's not your problem. If you open up your windows firewall anc click on "exceptions", just make sure WC is listed as one of the exceptions.

I don't know quite how to solve your problem, but do not disable that firewall and leave yourself unprotected.

omg Turn it off are these people...ehm...well if you want to host you must turn it off i had it off for around 6 months now and ive never had one pop-up otr virus

i have sympatico modem too, ive turned off, disabled everything i still cant host, i think it has to do with modem, because i cant make cs dedicated servers, and a lot of other things.
