Disable firewall
Hi guys, i need some help. Right, everytime i play BF2 or any other online game, when i goto the server selection no servers will come up. So my solution to this problem is to disable my firewall, and wahey servers come up. However i really want to stop doing this, because a whole ton of viruses and other harmful bacteria will come rushing into my computer (Also slowing my BF2 down and we cant have that can we :P ) Now the thing is, ive allowed BF2 on firewall list and application control and stuff, ive tried going through all the settings and stuff, but the bugger just has to be closed for me to play. My anti virus - firewall is 'F-Secure Client Security'. I'm pretty sure there must be a way to allow online play without having to disable the firewall. I have, i repeat, allowed it whenever that prompt comes up for a game trying to access stuff online. Any help would be really appreciated! And umm if you need any screenshots of anything, ill gladly post them up.

Harm full bacteria??? Well for one are you on windows xp ?? I need to know your OS, and I wouldn't use a firewall that comes from a anti virus, I use Bit Defender, I have to pay for it, but it is like a stone wall. -
Hey thanks for replying, **** yeah i forgot im on Windows XP SP2. And the harmful bacteria, was awful attempt at cracking a joke. Wont happen again. Umm this F-Secure isnt bad really, keeps my computer in good nick, the firewall came with the package.Comment

I would suggest using the Windows firewall if you do not want to pay for Bit Defender, than make sure you have that anti virus crap turned off, including its firewall. Using the windows firewall you will need to make the exception to allow to talk to master servers etc.Comment
