Firewall w/ WoW

[Alex Demille]

Hey all,
Just today there was a new patch for World of Warcraft. now in earlier patches I've managed to DL them fine. This time it's saying my firewall is interfering. Is there a way to access my F.W. and get it to stop blocking the DL?

Ubuntu comes with a firewall, but all traffic is allowed by default. If you didn't installed a firewall manager to modify the built-in firewall rules, then it is most likely that the report is wrong and the problem lies somewhere else.

I assuming that you are using ufw firewall so just type,
sudo ufw allow #port_number
From that what blizzard FAQ says you should open ports: 6112, 3724, and 6881


Also if you connect via router forward those ports to your machine
