Title: Cant connect
Post by: FuBaR on July 27, 2005, 12:03:03 PM

I have disabled all firewalls  and  when I try to  connect to AH it still says disable firewall and counts to 20 before saying host could not connect.

The weird part is It works  most of the time...but suddenly it stops.

Norton by any chance?  Or a corrupt Zone Alarm?

For Zone Alarm, remove all the allows for aceshigh.exe and then start from new.

For Norton, remove it from your system and take a 16 ounce ball-peen hammer to the CD.  While I am kidding, I am basically saying there seems to be some serious problems with the latest iteration of Norton;s firewall.

I got that a few times with Win XP and  it's firewall. I did remove and then add AH2 again and it seems to have cleared up.

Is that Norton's window by chance? You have to hit that little button that say "OK" to make it actually shut off you know :D

Why is Norton so universal and yet so appalling?  The number of machines I have seen with massive problems caused by it! The number of posts on here with problems with it! Reckon Peter Norton wanted to be Bill Gates and hasn't gotten over it.

Who remembers Norton Commander in the DOS days? It worked ok.

The ONLY problem I've had with this thing so far is that the tray icon doesn't flash when the AV is disabled, and it doesn't pop up the "You are unprotected" bubble; fine by me.
