[cable] Webstar dpc2100r2 Port Forwording.

Who is your ISP? It may be that they have some of the pages disabled/blocked.

Does this help at all:

I have Earthlink/Bright House as my ISP.

reply to kokujin
Have you ever been able to play on those servers? If so, what has changed in your setup?

reply to kokujin
I just bought the game 2 days ago.

Okay. Give us some more information of your setup. OS? Router? Firewall? Anything else you think might help us help you.

I running Windows XP Service pack 2, and I am running Comodo Firewall.I have disabled the firewall and tried to connect and still had the connection problem.

Did you read the link I posted? It talks about your modem and how to configure different firewalls.

Your webstar is not a router. It's a broadband cable modem. Do you have a Router between your Cable Modem and the PC? If so, what router.

I have no router, just a direct connection.I also found a page about it.
»Cable modem blocking ports?

Copy and paste the output from "ipconfig" to verify you have a Public IP address. Make sure you obscure the public IP before posting it.

Go to Run > cmd > ipconfig

Are you sure the XP firewall is not running and/or blocking ports?

Also try here to see if you have any ports blocked:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : earthlink.net
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 24.110.xx.xxx
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.254.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 24.110.xx.x

Now go to Shields Up »www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 to see if you have any ports closed.

If you do and they are the ones you need to be opened for that game, you will need to configured your firewall to allow those ports.

Is the XP firewall turned off when you are running the Comodo Firewall?

I always have XP firewall off.

GRC Port Authority Report created on UTC: 2009-01-02 at 17:24:11

Results from scan of ports: 0-1055

0 Ports Open
1 Ports Closed
1055 Ports Stealth
---------------------
1056 Ports Tested

NO PORTS were found to be OPEN.

The port found to be CLOSED was: 1055

Other than what is listed above, all ports are STEALTH.

TruStealth: FAILED - NOT all tested ports were STEALTH,
- NO unsolicited packets were received,
- NO Ping reply (ICMP Echo) was received.

It looks like you will need to configure your firewall to open the ports you need to play the game. That I know nothing about, sorry.

Have you given Earthlink a call to see if they can help?

I am out of ideas right now so hopefully someone else with more knowledge will jump in to provide further help.
