cannot connect with server

cannot connect with server

I have a new pc with XP as platform. Now I am unable to get into a 'room' in 
the competitive bridge program. Instead I get a message "cannot connect with 
the game server"--"unknown error". My only new software is a McAfee 
firewall. Must I get proxy permission from McAfee to connect with the game 
server? If so, how do I do that?

You need to disable the firewall, or add the Zone to the Accept list.
