Disconnects from Firewall! Help!!!

[BubbaG]

Been having disconnects like clockwork within a minute of entering servers. I think I have it narrowed down to my Windows firewall (the firewall that came with Windows XP). I read Yoshiro's thread about what ports to open and did all that, plus there were a couple of ports for steam and RO already open, so now I have a total of 8 UDP/TCP's open for RO. Anyway, disconnects were still happening 100% of the time, so I disabled firewall and now the game works great.

Now I know you shouldn't disable your firewall for nothing, so I reactivated it, and now the game disconnects again. What should I do? I'm not going to disable my firewall everytime I play the game. My cable connection will end up being a zombie spammer for some knucklehead out of Hong Kong.

Any ports I'm missing?

7757 UDP/IP (Game Port)
7758 UDP/IP (Query Port)
7767 UDP/IP (GameSpy Query Port)
28902 TCP/IP (Allows your Server to Connect to the Master Server Browser)
8075 TCP/IP (Port set via ListenPort that your WebAdmin will run on)
20610 UDP/IP (Steam Port)
Plus the Red Orchestra and Steam ports

Any different free firewalls out there that work well with Red Orchestra?

Thanks....

I seem to remember it being said to remove RO from the firewall and then letting the firewall block RO so that it can be authorized freshly..

Might work.

That seemed to be it. Thanks!

Glad to be of service

I would be elated if I could get mine to connect to a server in 1 minute but it takes me 15 Minutes if it even connects.
