Yep, I have AVG on my work laptop , but with three kids the wife ( and I agree) requires a parental control setting and a log on password - AVG cant do this - so she insists on some form of "protection" with these options. I will attempt the Port forwarding stuff tonight when I get home. Thanks again . Any idea of how to get the profiles of our Battlefield characters back to original state- so I can then just down load them to a flashdrive - then if necessary just remove all Battlefield software from the computer and reload the disc from sctratch and then import the profiles of our characters.
