I have to say I have not used the packages you have mentioned. However it sounds like you need to open certain ports on your firewall to let connections get to your machine. Many games require ports to be forwarded through a firewall. Outgoing connections are generally allowed but connections that originate outside your firewall will be blocked unless you use port forwarding to let them in. You will need to find out what ports your game or application needs. You mention you are having problems with something other than games but provide no details. That makes it hard to help. -- Scot L.
