    I rent a remote game server. On my home computer, I use a program called
    ServerWatch, which allows me to do certian things like kick players and chat
    with the players in the game. Players used to be able to connect to me with
    the ServerWatch client (this gives them access to certian features of the
    ServerWatch program running on my computer).

    I am not sure what event caused them to no longer be able to connect, but
    they get a Connection Timed Out message if they try connecting now.

    I completely disabled my firewall (Norton Firewall) and I disabled Window's
    firewall. I did a complete reset of my cable modem in case there's an
    internal firewall that was somehow activated (I don't have any software to
    configure it as far as I know). I even reinstalled ServerWatch. I do NOT
    have a router in place. I am running Windows XP Home SP2.

    Can anyone offer some advice on what I might be doing wrong? Is there
    another non-firewall security feature I am missing?
