Can't Log in for Patch

**Tiango**

Just re-installed and i cant log in for patch as it doesnt get by the

Launch Version:
Client Version:

It stops at that

Am i missing something???

**jeffers**

That looks like a firewall problem.

Do you have a firewall and if so is it configured to allow Launcher.exe and Matrix.exe full access to the internet?

Jeffers

**Tiango**

A firewall still wouldn't stop it loading the Username and Password part would it?

**jeffers**

It checks the launcher version before it allows you to log in to make sure you've got the most upto date launcher, so it does I'm afraid.

Ok well i dont have one but i might have some stupid default one so im going to download ZoneAlarm now see if it works

Thanks man.

**Tiango**

It still didn't work!, The Accept button light is red, i have a firewall and everything accepted it all, no reason why it shouldn't work so why doesn't it!

**Tiango**

I also have that stupid IE pop up with

Do you have a WB Login?

You always require a firewall. It is like having a bouncer at every door to your house. Just because you're in the kitchen or only mowing the back lawn doesn't mean someone won't try to pick the lock on the front door. The mere act of being connected to the internet exposes you to attacks. Browsing the internet is like sticking mail through the mail-slot in the door

There is an update required for the client and something is blocking it. Usually it's the firewall. Where is this computer? (home, school, college, work... etc)

Also you will need to post your system info as requested in the Must read before posting: How to post your System/Network information thread.
In particular we need to see the whole SYSINFO file.

If your internet router has a firewall on it, that could be blocking the connection as well.
You can find out what ports need to be enabled for MxO to work in this thread: Up to date port information for those with super tight firewalls (like me)

If you have a useropts.cfg file Tiango try removing it and then try patching. When the launcher stalls after displaying the Server/Client versions usually its because its having trouble talking with the patch or authentication server if I am recalling the process correctly
