Having trouble connecting to the internet with certain programs

[Wrey471]

I can't connect to certain programs such as Teamspeak, Steam, BattleNet, Evolve, etc. etc. However I can connect to Skype, Spotify, Google Chrome no problem, however whenever I'm browsing the internet it has been slowed down quite a bit. I got new internet at a new location about a week ago and I haven't had any problems until I randomly couldn't connect to games about an hour ago. I restarted my computer and couldn't connect anything, tried restarting my modem 3 times and still no luck. 🙁

Next morning update: Still having the problems but I didn't try Origin last night. I can connect to origin and download games off of Origin but still having problems with Teamspeak, BattleNet, and Steam.

The problem was my firewall settings on my modem. They had to be set to low instead of medium :s
