Try disabling the firewall. Not too sure if it's the problem, but report back if it works.

Yea.. some folks have reported that Comodo won't let Allegiance through. I believe they had to uninstall it and reboot before they could connect.

[rivon]

Yeah, it works

Really really thanks guys, I was so depressed from the fact that I might couldn't play it

But which firewall should I use now? (64bit)

[DasSmiter]

NOD is considered the best AFAIK

Since you're playing, I'm going to close this as resolved.

I have no direct experience with NOD, and I don't run vista, but I believe the NOD32 SS will not work - just the basic version, but I can't say about the 64-bit part.

If you are behind a router, IMHO you don't need a firewall. The router acts as a hardware firewall and will be better than any software firewall.
