Firewall issues for Windows XP users?
Installation of Service Pack 2 (SP2) for the Windows XP operating system may cause some players to experience problems with their casino games. The SP2 upgrade includes a built-in firewall. This is a program that restricts unauthorized Internet connections, protecting your computer from viruses and other potentially harmful software. You need to instruct your firewall to allow the downloadable poker client software to connect to the Internet. The first time you launch the poker application after installing SP2, a dialog box appears asking you if you want to allow this application to connect to the Internet. Click Yes. From now on, the firewall will consider the poker application a safe program and the Internet connect message will not appear again. If you previously instructed the firewall not to allow the poker client to connect to the Internet, but have now changed your mind, you can add the program to the Exceptions list. Opening the Windows Firewall Configuration: • Select: Start >
