Firewall Help, Please

[odusmykal]

I am very computer illiterate.. I tried to download Bodog poker, but i get a window saying, "check your firewall settings and ensure they permit internet access to bodog poker software." Can someone please help me with how to do this?. Thanks guys..

I am not 100% sure but....

Did you get any option for allowing download ? If you have already downloaded the software and have problem regarding connection with internet, following should work for windows XP :Start > Control Panel > Windows Firewall > Exceptions (tab) - now add bodog poker software.

This may help as well: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/...uct&s=firewall

You should be able to configure the firewall to allow the programs that you want.

Firewalls are for pussies. Go to your Network Connections, go to the properties of your connections and disable firewall. No one cares enough about the stuff on your computer to try to get into it anyway.
