All done and all working now. Thanks

Finally I have gotten it to work In the HTTP Proxy bit I typed in 8080 and it worked. I never knew I had to do that and I don't know why I tried it but im glad I did Just one quick question: When I have tried to connect to a few games it says 'Different Version' how do I change this to the correct version so I can play? Thanks for all the help

Ive read through that but why won't the game work even without the router connected? In a way, what that link said was similar to me taking out my router from the problem. Any ideas on anything else that could be blocking it? Do you think it could be something to do with Windows XP SP2? Thanks

I opened the ports from this website: http://freewebhosting.hostdepartment.com/s...etting%20Online I can rule no. 1 out as I have tried it without my router and I think I can safely rule out no. 2 as my friend has the same ISP but his works fine. As for firewalls over a network, I have gotten rid of mine and my other computer hasn't got any so it can't be that. Thanks for the help

Thanks for the reply I have tried most things now I think and everything failed so I have tried it without my router and it still fails to connect. I have done a fresh install of the game a few times now and when going to multiplayer - online it fails at that point saying it can't connect.

Hello, I am trying to play C&C Generals online but it says can't connect. I have followed the guide about opening the ports with my router (netgear rp614) and have even turned my software firewall off. I have the version 1.7 patch installed as well. Can someone please help me as im stuck and would really like to play online? Thanks Edit: Im using windows xp pro w/SP2.
