I installed WoW on a new computer, and I can't get past the CONNECTING screen. Any ideas?

Connect it to the internet.
Does everything else connect to the internet fine? Are you behind any firewalls?

Hi Kizzy. I'm not ignoring you, I'm just THE worst person to answer their cell phone. I'm not too sure why I still have it.

Describe your inernet connection. DSL, Cable? See if you can get a model number for every device between your computer and wherever your internet connection comes from.

But his computer was running some sort of weird test and I think he was in the shower. I think this board is haunted.

I don't understand, Is there a way to keep the firewall on and still be able to play WoW?

Norton firewall isn't worth 3 cents. I cant count the number of times it completely blocked outgoing traffic on a box because it though it was a danger to the comp. If a firewall is important to you, buy a router. ZyXEL makes a few nice ones that are not all that expensive.
