Try allowing Spore access to the internet in your firewall. Also try opening the following ports in your firewall/router:

* 80
* 443
* 18120
* 18060

Spore is there under folder called "electronic arts" but we cant get it to pick up under the "let it through the fire wall" - This is VERY FRUSTRATING - We've tried disc downloading and only have one download left. It's appearing on the games list but an EA message is coming up that it can't get access to the internet. THIS IS SERIOUSLY RUBBING ME UP THE WRONG WAY !!!!!

Help someone please ?
