Golden Fairway - Troubleshooting Guide
Firewall

If you cannot log into the game, chances are very high that if you are using Windows XP or newer, your firewall is not allowing Goldenfairway access to the internet.

More info can be found about firewalls here
Please follow these directions to correct this.

• Click Start
• Click Control Panel
• Windows XP has two different ways to view the Control Panel. If your Control Panel list does not have the items in figure 1,
  then you are likely using Classic View, and you can move on to step 4. If your Control Panel does look like figure 1, then you
  are using Category View. Please click Network and Internet Connections:
