games and still cannot i emailed nova and they said to
open some port or check for firewall. I have checked for
firewall and cannot find any and have no idea how to open
a port . any help would be appreciated.

Hi Randy,

Basically there are 3 possibilities that you're facing.
There might be a firewall at your Internet Service Provider,
installed on your computer, or built into your Router/Modem.
To test for this and to correct it visit:

As for how to open ports, the 2nd part of this article describes
how that is done if you have a router installed. Here's How to
Configure a Router to Play Online:
