Half-Life 2 & Firewall Configuration

[DeVry Student]

When it is said that HL2 will require Internet Access... what type of access does it require. Just Internet Access (to the Internet), or does it require Server permissions (that allow outside intruders to access your computer from the Internet)?

As far as I know, its just a default internet connection...

I'm talking just pure basic playing over the Internet (and the activation thing).

It will require steam connection. If you can connect to steam, you're going to be good to go.
