Firewall Problem

[YeTi]

Ok i've got a problem with my firewall. I'm running norton internet security 2005 (please don't bitch about it my dad bought it) anyway whenever i try and load vc-mp it will get to the vc-mp loading screen pop up that little message that says loading and go no further usually i did manage to get it to permanately say attempting to connect or whatever it says. Anyway i had this problem before and i figured out that by disabling my firewall it would let me play (i know now what a stupid idea that is). From what i can figure out i have done the correct procedure to make it ignore certain ports i want it to ignore the commonly use vc-mp ports.

 

 

Thats a screenie with the firewall port ignore thingy i think. As you can see i've got 5192 and 5001 both ports i commonly use in VC-MP on this list.

 

 

Thats what you get when you click add.

 

Can anyone explain why this is happening? Or tell me how to fix it?

Have you ever thought about the possibility about getting Spyware and or viruses? And YeTi isnt only playing games.
