Depends on the firewall

Forgive me, but I'm not very skilled at this sort of stuff as usually just install games and play it, EA games are usually the ones that give me trouble.

So with a firewall, what is it specifically?

  It would help if we knew which firewall you are using. is it a software firewall I.e windows firewall Norton, eset etc etc? Or is it the nat on your router? (assuming you have one)? if so the make and model would help. Once we have that information we can assist you further.

    I wouldn't know. Windows fire wall I'm assuming. I've tried Port Forwarding, but to put it bluntly, I don't * know what I'm doing. I don't get what ports are and how to actually find out what they are. No tutorial seems to tell you how to find your ports. You know this is the only * game that does this * and I don't know what to do. I'm not the only one who keeps getting this * error and I've spent the whole day trying to fix this with porting and I don't know what to do. EA hasn't even responded to people from days ago.
