you are right I am running XP but the firewall was stopped about a second after the install.
 
But You might be right, I have a hardware gateway in my network which gives out dhcp ( NAT ) and acts a bit like a firewall.
 
Can't disable t though. Best I can do is map some ports.
 
Does anyone know which ports are required to play Wolf ?

thanks I think I'll do write them. Maybe they know
 
Strange think is though that the 'router' is on pass through everything outgoing. Of course , since it is Nat incoming ports should be mapped but that should only be the case if I should be running a server and others had to connect to it.
 
Disabling it is no option since my entire network relies on it.
 
BTW: Am I really the only one who has these strange messages ?
 
Oh and sometimes it does work but not often, most servers return the above message.

Client_unknown_by_auth - this sounds like the server is trying to do some kind of query back to you, maybe to find out what version you have. If it is establishing a new connection (incoming to you) to do this, then it's gonna require some port-forwarding.... but the tech support should be able to answer this as well.
 
Of course I don't know if this IS what's happening, but it's a possibility to look into....
