This is not the first of my problems with 4.0.0 patch downloads. Long story short, I had to go to great extents just to get 4.0 working on my computer and now for some reason my downloading is all !@@!ed up again. My launcher seems to be downloading the same exact patch that I just downloaded a few weeks ago and also it claims that my computer is behind a firewall when I know it is most certainly not. Not only is it bad enough that I'm having problems, but I just bought more time on my account and I can't even play. This is beyond frustrating and I am in fact on the verge of quitting this goddamn game because of these stupid !@@!ing difficulties one must endure simply just to play the game. If anyone could help me, I'd be grateful, if not, goodbye to the World of Warcraft.

Please, read the forum guidelines before posting. I understand you're frustrated, but I must ask that we keep things civil.

If you're getting a message that your computer is behind a firewall, the first thing to check is any security software on your system. Make sure that if you have PeerGuardian, Norton, Little Snitch, macScan or anything similar on your system that it's disabled, removed or configured properly for WoW.

If that doesn't get rid of the messages, you'll need to forward ports on your router's firewall. Just go to www.portforward.com, find your model and follow the walkthrough for WoW. Very easy. That's one of my favorite websites. It'll make everything from patching to playing easier.

Usually, problems patching are due to permissions corruption. If you have problems applying the patch, try this:

5. Please be aware that some of the procedures will look like they are frozen, but are actually taking a long time i.e. checking hierarchy
