Hey guys, i need help playing starcraft online, not in a normal way though. I can play it online normally, but with my crappy comp and internet, i like to turn off my firewall so when i restart my comp it doesn't start up. that makes things go lots better and i can play d2 online withotu much probs. I can't play starcraft very well though on my comp with the firewall on, but when i make sure my firewall doesn't start up in the beginning, i try to start starcraft online and it says somethin about udp 6112 and when i go online in normal web browsing, i can't get into a lot of sites cause it says it can't be found. I don't get this because when i try to play starcraft with my firewall started up, i have to disable it before starcraft will work and i get the same message as if i didn't start up my firewall at all

Anyways, i don't want no comments about how i should upgrade or how i should leave my firewall on cause i know all that already, i just wanna know if any of you guys know why this happening,thx, i dunno if this post was clear but if it wasn't just tell me what you want me to clear up.
Sorry for the wall of text

well i suppose thats my answer...but why would it do that if my firewall doesn't start up, even if i leave everything else on and just don't start up my firewall, i can't log into a lot of stuff or play starcraft online
