Any help much appreciated it looks like your firewall is blocking the return ping from the server.....often it sees a non-reply as 'ping too high'. What firewall do you use on your pc and/or hub/router? There are different fixes depending on your firewall setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elwellfan501 Posted September 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Hi i have norton installed on my pc and it says it has a personal firewall, im not sure how to find out if there is a firewall acting on windows aswell?? I am using aol and the router that they supplied me with, dont think it has a firewall built in. Hope this is the info you needed and thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the firewall is definately on on Norton. ok, firstly i'm not a Norton user so i'm afraid I can't offer you a 'walk-through' fix........check through the Norton firewall to see if it has a section for program settings (where you can set how each program you have accesses the internet) - if Norton has this, you may need to allow nascar heat specific access, and this will probably be 2-way access, so your game receives the incoming ping. When I used to use ZoneAlarm, allowing was down to finding the specific component (in this case heat.bin) and allowing it 2-way access. Heat.bin is hard to find, so do a search for it then use the found path to allow in Norton. ish hope you sort it, let us know please ......
