I blocked a program trying to connect to the internet on accident!! How do I
fix this?
It was blocked through that pop-up thing that asks you to allow or block a
program...


The program trying to connect is the game Diablo BTW ^_^

Try:
Control Panel / Windows Firewall / Allow a program through the Firewall
/ Exceptions /

If Diablo is listed there check the box to allow it through. If it isn't
listed, add it.

I *think* that will work for you ???
 
I tried that, Neil, but it doesn't unblock it from going into the internet.
I can unblock DIABLO but not connecting it to the internet :(

Does Diablo use any 'special' ports to access the web? It might be that
their servers are using a specific port which you will have to enter
into the firewall. I would have thought that would be covered by
allowing Diablo through but it's worth a read of the manual of help file
to see if ports are mentioned or anything else you need to do.

If you can't find any answers try the Diablo support team:

Kevin. You will need to manually add each port for UDP and TCP one at a
time <yawn>.

You can do a 'range' of ports for Incoming and Outgoing if you access
the firewall from the Administrative Tools but it can seem complicated
if you're unsure about it.

Control Panel / Firewall / exceptions / add port



Allow

UDP 6612
UDP 6613
UDP 6614
UDP 6615
UDP 6616
UDP 6617
UDP 6618
UDP 6619

TCP 6612
TCP 6613
TCP 6614
TCP 6615
TCP 6616
TCP 6617
TCP 6618
TCP 6619

hmm it didnt work but then i tried something else...
Well for one thing, I DID go to the administrative tools hehehe but thats
besides the point. It was my windows live One Care firewall that was clashing
with it.. so i uninstalled it! =/ that program was messed up anyways >.<
