Problems after 2.14 Patch 2 install

[FLTSGT]

     Lastnight I logged on and a message came up telling me I needed to update to the 2.14 patch 2 update. I had already updated the game to 2.14 earlier in the day and had no problems getting online and playing. As soon as I updated to the 2nd patch as soon as I try to log on it says that the host can't be connected to either the main route or alternate. When the message comes up its right away as if it hadn't even tried to connect. I uninstalled the game and reinstalled the entire game thinking that maybe I had installed the patch wrong but the same thing happened. Then I turned off my firewall thinking that maybe it was blocking it, although it never has before, at least not without asking me in a pop-up first. I checked the site to see if the arenas would be down for a little bit but nothing and again this morning I'm having the same problems. Can anyone help me? I have an addiction to AH lol and it needs satisfied. THANK YOU

Are you related to Stealth?  You have the same writing style.

Sounds like you have connection issues on your end.

I could be wrong.  I thought I was wrong once.

It just turns out that I was mistaken.............

More than likely it is your firewall blocking the game.  Everytime we patch the game, you will have to re-allow the game back through the firewall.  Nothing we can do about that.

If your firewall is Norton, sometimes you have to physically remove the Norton software in order for it to reset.  It could also be a firewall in the router, if you are behind one.
