quickest solution, dump norton and get AVG. But im sure its to late to return norton

o.k. this is my first tech solution... get ready

1. Go to Control Panel

2. Go to Windows Firewall

3. From here you can turn it off or

Make BF2 and exception.

Hope this helps.

yes which is what I had done in the past but now I am not using my windows firewall I am using my norton's firewall

You have to go into Nortons firewall and tell it to allow BF2 to have access. Will work once that is done.

Haha, Norton.

With a hardware firewall (Ie. a router), Windows built-in firewall, and a little common sense, you'll be fine.
