Firewall problem

[dalek]

Warcraft doesn't support proxies, and my admin says that all ports are left open. They won't turn off the network, I manually added all the required ports warcraft says it needs but still no luck. One other weird problem i'm having is that when i go to windows security it does not give me the option of turning off my computer firewall, it is set to on and they are greyed out and won't let me click off. This remains to happen even if I uninstall symantec. I'm going crazy here, working on this issue for about 20 hours in the last 4 days.

Are you using XP Pro? if so

On any XP Pro machine, check the Group Policy settings (Click Start - Run -  
  
gpedit.msc).  Expand Administrative Templates, then expand Network, then  
  
Network Connections, then Windows Firewall, and click Standard Profile. Look  
  
at "Windows Firewall: Protect all network connections", and ensure it's set  
  
to "Not Configured". Double-click this settings, check Not Configured, and  
  
then click "Apply" and then click "Ok".

HTH...

I just checked, they were as you said they should be. Another question, i went to canyouseeme.org to check to see if these ports were indeed open, tried a bunch, and they either said not available because of time out or bc they couldn't see them. Even port 80 which is odd bc unless I'm mistaken that's the http port yes? And here I am, so that doesn't make sense.
