Hey, I have a slight issue with my AVG Firewall settings

I run the same AVG setup on both my home & apartment cpu

When i run this one game, call Sierra Freestyle Basketball - it first runs a program called hackshield - it doesn't allow any program to run in memory/background. etc that tries to alter with the game since its an online game that makes sense


At home, I leave AVG to standard config with my firewall and the game runs fine, at my apartment - it won't load at all unless i turn off AVG firewall (which i hate doing)

i've gone try and tried to set every possible option to allow/ask to find which one is triggering it to not letting hackshield run correctly

This is the last part of it that is coming up on the log that is being blocked:
Date and time: 2008-01-16 06:20:47
Action: Block
Application: Filter Device
Protocol: UDP
Direction: Out
Local address: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:137
Remote address: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If i can get that filter off, it'll run fine

Anyhelp would be loved
