Hello there good sir or ma'am. I am called Jedidiah. I'm trying to launch my new computer game i picked up, Star Wars Galaxies. But for some reason my computer keeps saying that internet access is denied! My father and mother can not figure out the problem. Perhaps you can tell me what is wrong here?

What version of Windows do you have?

Do you know if your firewall is on or off? What kind of internet connection do you have?

[Josh]

Make sure that your firewall is off...that might be the problem.

I have D.S.L. Where do I find out if my Firewall is on at?

[techgeekwill]

In Windows XP.

Go to your control panel (Start> Control Panel). Scroll to the bottom, click on "Firewall". From there you can set it to off.

You will also want to make sure that you do HAVE a firewall however. You can find a great free one at: www.zonelabs.com/store/content/company/products/znalm/freeDownload2.jsp?dc=12bms&ctry=US&lang=en
Otherwise your computer is most definitely at risk. ZoneAlarm will be annoying at first, its supposed to. But, my basic rule of thumb when using it is if it pops up when Im not doing something, I deny it. If I've opened up a program or such, then I let it go.
