I keep getting a general error when playing hearts, two different machines, one is XP machine directly connected to wireless router, the other is Vista laptop connected through wireless router. I checked internet speed on msn.com, result was 1.6mbps. Any ideas? I've been playing for months on both computers and this problem just started. -- Byron

Yes, both machines are protected. The latest error I received was to open up port 80 on my firewall and/or make a program exception to allow Hearts throught the firewall??? I've never had to do that before, but I tried it and it didn't work. Could it just be issue with the Zone? Everything else seems to work fine. -- Byron "Rob" wrote: > > > > > "Byron" wrote in message > news:6F31DFB0-E299-4B77-BC49-F070A5EFC83C@microsoft.com... > >I keep getting a general error when playing hearts, two different machines, > > one is XP machine directly connected to wireless router, the other is Vista > > laptop connected through wireless router. > > > > I checked internet speed on msn.com, result was 1.6mbps. > > > > Any ideas?
