Okay I have a HP pavillion laptop with xp. We are connecting to the neighborhood WiFi that has a NETGEAR WGR614 54 Mbps 802.11g Wireless Router. I can get to anything through the web browser fine, but can not log on any server like a game or an IM. However when my brother come with any other laptop. He is on a MMO in five seconds flat.
I want to be able to get on the chat server for my college and get on Second Life to do my programing.
I went to “shields up” and they say that all my ports are stealthed and my PC is so secure it might as well not exist, which for me is the case since the pc might as well not exist it is next to worthless.
First thing I did on this pc was to disable the firewall and norton because they both always cause me more trouble them a reghost is worth
I don’t see any firewall or antivirus in the add or remove programs beside norton.
Any program that will acually show what or where the port is being stealthed or blocked, like how far the signal gets. I had a college lvl networking class last sumester, but everything seems to check out as far as I can see except that it doesn’t work.
I would like to open practically every blasted port so I can get work done. Yet I would like to know how this happen so that I can use it on another pc to make it super secure like this one is in the future.
