well, wouldn't disabling the firewall get around that whole issue? wouldn't port blocking be done through the firewall?(i dunno, maybe i'm confused) However, this is on my friends windows 8 machine, i wasn't having any issues on my linux machine. There is an option to right click and run as administrator though right? i didn't even think about that. as i remember there are certain games that need to be run as admin in windows. still looking for other suggestions however.
