Hey,

My first thread, sorry if I'm not clear enough.

Basically, using the ShieldsUp port tool, it's consistently telling me that my ports are closed.

I have narrowed down the problem to my external interenet connection;
My computer is clean booted, no programs open, so no firewall is active. The router is not plugged in, but my computer is plugged straight into the modem.

It is a direct cable link, yet the ports are still closed.

I need to have the ports opened under certain circumstances as I'm trying to get a game working, but without them opening, the update download stalls.

I'm at my wits end, been trying to weeks now >.<

If it makes a difference, the modem is NTL... We still have that from the merge.

Thanks in advance.
