ok. i play through a firewall called winproxy. i can get through the patch screen and DL the patches w/o a problem, but when it comes to the screen where i type in my station name and password, it says that it cant connect and to try again later. So, then i went to eqlive.station.sony.com/s...y_info.jsp (http://eqlive.station.sony.com/support/tech_support/ts_network_support_firewall_proxy_info.jsp) and applied these rules into the network, but still no connection. does anyone have a solution or a website with different rules or a way around the firewall totaly? any help would be awesome.

BTW: the reason for the firewall is because my house is wireless and people have messed with the systems before so we wanted to close it off.

Wouldn't it be easier to configure WEP on your wireless segment?

Does your firewall support port triggering?

Port triggering allows a piece of software (ie. EverQuest) to initiate a connection to a remote host/server. This allows the client machine (your computer) to open a port on the firewall / router etc and allow the channel to be set up for communication.

You might check your documentation and see if this is an option.

wouldn't it be easier to just turn your firewall off? i don't have a firewall or anything. then again, my IP rotates so if i make an enemy i don't really worry about that heh.
