Err=5 -- says server and/or network error? HELP!!!

Just bought my collector's edition and I hope I'm not getting screwed.

I also got a Beta-disc and it gave me the SAME EXACT ERROR when I tried to register/connect last time...before the launch.

What's going on, anyone else having this prob. and how do I fix? Your help is MUCH appreciated.

Thanks so much in advance...

do you have a netgear router?

disable port triggering on port 6112 or just disable port triggering all together if you have a netgear router

Yes, NetGear router...Ummm how do I do this?

This worked! I've been trying to figure this out for days!

I am haveing the same problem. I am on a netgear router, and a netgear wireless adapter for my pc. How do I disable this port?

Open a web browser to 192.168.1.1

Default login is:
admin
password

you can do it from there

edit: dont disable the port, disable port triggering

THank you so much for helping with this, my buddy and I where about to sacrife our roomates cat because the game was not working and where we hoping the gods would help us in return of the sacrifice.
