Maybe I'm doing something wrong but it works:

Over the last year I've used 3 different software firewalls and on all of them I just create a rule allowing the 'program' (OP, MW4, Falcon4.0, whatever) to use whatever port it wants, so I've never had to shut down the firewall to get a connection. The security still works as I was port scanned numerous times last night by 'AGIS' in washington DC (gov't I think) while running OP on GSA but didn't see the security alerts until I got back to my desktop, but ALL the port scans were blocked by the firewall and OP worked perfectly.

When I did a trace of AGIS I was promptly disconnected. Big brother is watching.

How is drafting and mission stability on the D2 for you?

believe it or not but I've drafted and been drafted in 2v2 and 3v3's with no problems, and OP hasn't crashed ever in my memory. There are a couple of people with weird network setups that I can't fly with, but it's on their end (duckskid).

Well beleive it or not, I've been running my system without a firewall for years and have never been hacked or arrested by the FBI or anything weird like that.

If you think about it, any firewall, no matter how expensive can only serve to introduce lag and lost packets. It is a simple fact.

That exactly confirms my notion that we need super computers nowdays to handle all the layers of security microsoft needs to keep their products secure, something we didn't need a year ago, all to run the same thing that ran fine on a p3.

Thanks Bill, may I have another.

Its not the OS, its the user/admin.

My P3 still does the job just fine. (better than many P4s I have seen in fact...)

reminds me of the fiasco I went thru trying to get support for KOTOR2- My box says DX7 req'd, but lucasarts says DX9C and open GL4 neither of which I use and aside from 1 mission being fekked the game runs fine. If I'd told them outright that I have the Thai version they wouldn't have e-mailed me back, but I didn't so they said without hesitating I need a new video card.

LoL, I fixxed the problem and won the game without any new hardware, no new drivers, no nuthin...I just played that mission to a different outcome. So American versions require higher hardware standards ?? Sounds like a marketing thing to me.

OH, and I believe AGIS stands for Attorney Generals Information System.. I found no listing for a U.S. agency, but found lots of EU and AUS listings.  Guess big brother thinks we're all dummies.

Yes, the Hardware Transform and Lighting "standard" is a scam to sell video cards.  :thumbsdown:
