[ALL EYEZ ON ME]

Well i'm using ZAP and Cain to bridge host on Gears 2 but when i switch the firewall to high and start the game ( with a full party all IP's on trusted) i find games within 10 seconds and before i switch it to medium... which means that the firewall is not working for me?

Does anyone know how to fix this? i have my whole bridge set up perfectly.

ANY HELP OR SUGGESTIONS ARE GREATLY APPRETIATED!!

Maybe you should try it before you press start?

[ALL EYEZ ON ME]

The problem is that after i switch the firewall to high it is still letting me connected to everyone as if it wasnt on in the first place. I hve been trying to fix it for 2 weeks and cant find out why its doing it. VERY ANNOYING.

maybe ZAP does not work with vista 32 bit? Any answers would help. Thanks.:.(

Have you checked in ZAP that your network (in the firewall section > zones) is on INTERNET and not TRUSTED...that is the common cause of the problem you have just described

And it does work with 32bit Vista, thats what I have

[ALL EYEZ ON ME]

Uninstall and reinstall ZAP. I had a similar problem, and doing a fresh install fixed her right up.

[ALL EYEZ ON ME]

Yeah i have downloaded ZAP 3 times now and none of the times i have downloaded it worked. I always find games under 10 secs with it on high. Stinks :(

Thanks tho.

Try to delete and then remake your bridge. If not, Throw you xbox out the window and then kick your computer...

[WishMaster]

Just re-install ZAP, re-do the bridge, restart your router (leave it off for 30 secs), turn off your xbox and laptop or computer, after turning back on the router wait at least 10 - 15 secs for it to give off signals into internet, then turn on your console and laptop/computer.
Then do the stuff all over again, and if that does not do it, i suggest you do what Nubble suggested.:P

[ALL EYEZ ON ME]

Very good suggestions i might as well skip those steps because i already done all of that 3 times lol. TIME TO THROW MY XBOX OUT THE WINDOW! :). lmfao its kinda dumb tho how it wont work =/

[Nubble]

Yeah, for some reason it just doesn't work for certain individuals...

I had problems on my Vista 32-bit too. I had to delete and re-install at least 6 times before it actually took effect on my Xbox.

Yeah, I've notice this happening more and more to people. Make sure you dont have more then 1 firewall running at once. Disable Windows firewall too =):thumbup:

[Daliath]

I have exactly the same problem, the game starts before ican count 10 most of the time. If I can count it' s OK...
I'm using XP.

Any idea ?

[Coletrain17]

Well that means your firewall isn't keeping people out. Try uninstalling and reinstalling, and redoing all the ranges and IP's and good stuff like that. If that doesn't work, come back and we'll see what else we can do.
