C&C Generals connecting online problems

[Mouseman 0]

Hi, this has probably been asked tons of times before but your help would be very much appreciated.

 

A friend and I have just bought Generals and we can not get it to work online or even via a direct connect. We both can see each other in the online lobby but when either of us create a game, the other person disappears and the game that was created does not appear.

 

We have done all the usual stuff i.e

1. opened up all ports on router and even disabled firewall (we both have netgear routers)

2. disabled xp firewall

 

 

I dont have a clue where to go with this next as I have checked loads of forums but have not had any luck ?

 

Have any of you guys and recommendations or even came across this problem before ?

 

Hope you can help

Things like this happen. Like Fox, it happened to me and I just got ZH.

ok guys, thanks

 

 

 

btw, Where is it possible to get the add on ? Is it a downloadable patch or another purchase ?

 

 

thanks again

Ya, it's price has gone way down so it is no longer a problem.
