More information would kinda I help I think too, its kinda of blunt, I will say my n00b responce to this, Is your firewall off? Are you allowing it?

I have the same problem here.

New sealed red alert 2 and yuris games installed.

Patch 1.006 and 1.001 installed.

When going to Manage Account a message screen with "Connection Error" appears.

I have a small network with 5 pcs and a dsl router. I have read in the patch document that some firewalls/routers are not automaticaly configured so i manually added on the router a static route to my static local ip and a port (15000). I also added that port into the network configuration of the game.

 

Machine: P4 - WinXP - NVidia FX5700 - 1GB ram

 

Still the same error.

Any ideas???

Thank you and i hope i help a little bit.

Well, I turned off my firewall and I was able to connect this morning, now I can't connect again

 

I downloaded all the patches ( I think, it gave me a bunch of patches when I first connected.).

 

So....I don't know what to do.

disable windows firewall, enter into your routers config and set up the port forwarding for the ports that YR needs.

yeah I had to do that because I had a annoying firewall on full cointainment, took me about 3 weeks to find out lol

My Windows Firewall is always off, and we have an antivirus thing, but it's easy to turn off the firewall on that. So I don't think it was a firewall...

 

I don't use a router either 8)

 

I did exactly the same thing I did when I was originally able to connect.

 

One thing that is a little weird is that it says version 1.001, even though when it updated, it dl'ed 1.006.

I never had to turn off the Firewall for TS or RA2 (and the expansions)

 

Only needed the ports made for Generals
