Cannot enter table
|
|
|
| In Zone games I cannot enter a euchre table. I can enter
lobby and chat ok. I also can enter Cribbage, backgammon
etc just fine. Only euchre. Error messgae "Failed to
connect to host computer". I have tried disabling norton,
firewalls and updating to SP2. It worked fine one day
then not the next and no new programs had been installed.

It almost has to be blocked ports.

Did you download SP2 for XP? If so, it adds a firewall.
Known issues with XP SP2 and various products out there.

It may help to use the "Enabling programs" section of the above article
to allow Zone.exe, Zproxy.exe and any other Zone program that
communicates with the Zone.
There's a section here on disabling the XP firewall:
