I dunno buddy, the SP2 firewall is a lot better than the previous... it's the only way I get a green light on tornado, the previous one was shit
 
I dislike it, prefer my router or zonealarm
 
That's a shame, Microsoft deserve the right to protect their products against piracy.

I have neither, so it works for me. Takes a bit of push n' shove though.

Before pressing 'Custom' or 'Express' buttons paste this text to the address bar and press enter:
javascript:void(window.g_sDisableWGACheck='all')
It turns off the trigger for the key check.


I don't understand? Where do you put this and what does it do?

But if you're not on the computer that's directly connected to the 'net, can't help you buddy, I've been trying to find a workaround since forever
 
My computer connects with a network, as does all our computers (We dont have a host computer).

It's she :D

Yeah, but then it would be simple, you'd just configure your router to allow ports 6881-9 (TCP). Or whatever, I'm not the ****in' tech. support team :P
