I posted this in the Icewind Dale forum last night, but as there is hardly anyone in there and this pertains to all IWD and BG Games I'm going to ask in here:

For the past 3 1/2 hours I've been trying to play a multi-player game with my friend using GameSpy Arcade. I can't host a game because i have a firewall on my computer and whenever i tried to join a game it told me that it couldn't connect. I tried everything from uninstalling HOW to installing the latest patch, to moving the directories around, and nothing worked. I was just wondering if anyone else has run into this problem and knows how to fix it. Right now I'm pretty sure that it's my firewall so if anyone knows how to get around it that would be very helpful.

Thanks.
