Connection problem when i want to play a game online. I can make a server and people can join, but when everybody accept and i start te game i get the "unable to connect with other players" error. I tried several times with random people, but always with the same result. My ping is green in the server and lobby.
What operating system are you using?

What router i have?

Your error log file. This can be found by typing %TEMP% into your Windows search bar. The file you need is called CNCOnline_Log.txt. You may upload it into your post or copy and paste its contents.
My file is empty and has 0 kb?
If you cannot connect to other players, also do this: Disable port forwarding and DMZ in your router.Download the connection diagnostic tool here: http://server.cnc-on.../NATNegTest.rar. Extract it into a folder and double-click on the .bat file Copy-paste the output to your help topic.

NAT negotiation works with your router and connection.
==> You do not have to use port forwarding.

What i also did:
- installed the latest Gentool
- Added Zero Hour in my firewall as exception.
- These steps: https://www.gamerepl...port-forwarding
- Made a static ip adres as in the link above.
- Port forwarding as in the link above: UDP ports: 4321, 27900. 16000 (checked if they were open wit port forward network utilities program, and they are).
- Port forwarding as in the link above: TCP ports: 80, 6667, 28910, 29900, 29920 (checked if they were open wit port forward network utilities program, and they are NOT).
- Applied the settings in the Zero Hour options (as in the link above)
- Try to play with no firewall > same result, can't connect with other people.
What didn't succeed:
- Open port TCP 80 in my router. My router gives the error "Your port configurations here have collided with the port configurations in the Management webpages, Do you wish to proceed? (attach file 1). Then i click OK and get an system maintenance management screen (attach file 2). I click "ok"aggain" and then reboot the router. I look if port tcp 80 is in the opened port list in my router: it isn't there. Also when i run the port forward network utilities program, it says port TCP 80 is not open.
- Open ports TCP 6667, 28910, 29900, 29920 just as the UDP ports. The port forward network utilities program says these TCP ports are not open. I did the same as the UDP ports but why aren't they open? (attach file 3). The difference with the TCP 80 port is that these ports are in the port list (just as the UDP ports) in my router though..
- Instal the latest patch from this forum. I downloaded Zero Hour yesterday from Origin and in Origin it says it's up to date. (Does it come with the latest patch when i download it?) I get the error: "missing or invalid registry / INI entry" (attach file 4)
My questions:
- Does the Zero Hour download in Origin come with the latest patch?
- Who can help me to open TCP port 80 in my router?
- Why can help me to open TCP ports 6667, 28910, 29900, 29920?
- Who can help me to connect with other people, are there any steps left for me to do?
I think google is also tired of my sh*t ;-)
Sorry for my bad English, but every help is welcome. If you have any questions, feel free to reply!
Greetings Mike.
