Title: How do I circumvent my new(ish) firewall ? Post by: Karabiner on October 08, 2009, 01:23:11 PM Since I switched from BT to Sky broadband several months back I have not been able to log onto PartyP who tell me that it is a firewall issue.
Now I remember when my techy-man set the new thing up for me he informed me that i didn't need a firewall as my new modem thingy had a firewall built into it. So in words of one and two syllables and possibly with diagrams to aid my techno-dunceness could some patient and kind soul please try and explain what I should be doing to reinstate my connection.

I'm on Sky and Party connects just fine. A quick check suggests Party only use port 443 which shouldn't cause you a problem - can you get to https://www.google.com/accounts/Login ?

Yes everything works fine except PP. I can get to that page do I have to create an account, then what ? Title: Re: How do I circumvent my new(ish) firewall ?

Netgear Should be an IP address on the bottom, tap this into your internet browser and log in. Play around with the settings.

Disclaimer: Your internet may never work again ;) I can't see an IP address anywhere on the thing and anyhow your disclaimer scared the shit out of me :( Title: Re: How do I circumvent my new(ish) firewall ? Post by: Longines on October 08, 2009, 03:58:25 PM The google page was just to confirm that you could access https pages - the same type of connection Party uses.
Click on this link: http://192.168.0.1. Username is sky, password is admin. That gets you logged into your router. Is your router black or white? (The menu structure is different on each model) Title: Re: How do I circumvent my new(ish) firewall ?

Post by: Longines on October 08, 2009, 04:13:37 PM OK, click here (http://"http://192.168.0.1") - it's the admin login for your router. Same as above but without the broken link.
Once logged in click on Security at the top then Firewall Rules. Anything listed there? Title: Re: How do I circumvent my new(ish) firewall ?

Neither link works for me although the first one tried to connect and then said something about being reset first. Title: Re: How do I circumvent my new(ish) firewall ?

Click Start > Run > type cmd > press Enter In the black box type ping pp-193-144.partypoker.com Does it say 'request timed out' or something like this?

I gave up on this last night when I started playing around 6pm but when I rebooted this morning I've managed to download PP and have just logged in so everything seems to be hunky-dory. Thanks a lot for all the patience and assistance. |
