Failure to connect to server :vista:

The setting is on the router. You would need to connect to a network with a working alleg installation to exclude the router from the mix.

Have you removed trend micros software?

Not off. Uninstalled.
Modern Firewalls tend not to deactivate everything upon "turning them off".

adam_lord:
I will not answer your post in this thread. Read the READMEFIRST post and post a new thread.

Lunar_Wolf09:
When I was talking about connecting with your laptop from a network with a working alleg installation:
You need to find a network, where a computer can successfully connect to the Allegiance lobby. This network should therefore let you connect with your laptop to the Allegiance server, IF the problems you encounter in your home net are caused by your router. If you cannot connect from the other network, your laptop is one of the problems.
I am running out of ideas though. With no firewall installed, no antivirus software, you should be able to connect to the servers. Maybe try rebooting your router and modem by unplugging the power.

Launch Internet Explorer or FireFox, and enter the Router’s default IP address, 192.168.1.1, in the Address field. Then press Enter.
A password request page will pop up. Leave the User Name field blank, and enter admin (the default password) in the Password field. Then click the OK button.

Click on the security link at the top of the page. Remove the checkmark from the "Block Anonymous Internet Requests". Make sure Firewall Protection is set to "Disable". Click Save Settings and see if that doesn't help.

Also, have you ever had Norton antivirus on that machine?...if so, run this and reboot.

Actually, I would not disable the hardware firewall of your router, because Allegiance can handle router firewalls.

That firewall is set to "disable" by default. You should leave it off as you are inside a private network. This is the side benefit of having a router.
