Grant access to AH in your firewall so  the game won't get blocked.  I use a firewall and keep it running without any adverse effects to the game.

Using Norton Internet Security 2004 (firewall and antivirus).  Is on when I play game, and no apparent problems, except brief stutters when AH2 loads textures for first time (as discussed in several other threads).  Don't believe this has anything to do with firewall.
