firewall problem

**kin3** · 03-29-2006, 05:04 PM

I have an Nvidia hardware firewall. I downloaded Steam with no problems. I then tried to download RO but it would disconnect after about 30 seconds with a 'problem with connection to Steam' or something like that.

I thought I turned the firewall off but still no luck. I read the forums and other people were not haveing the same problem so went back and somewhere in the firewall setup I had to give Steam special permission and then the download stayed steady and was able to play the game.

I post this in case someone else has a similar problem.

Nvidia makes a hardware firewall?

Yes I'm looking at it now.
