NAT negotiation works with your router and connection.

==> You do not have to use port forwarding.

Did you set Windows XP SP3 compatibility (and run as Admin) for your game? Not doing that can cause similar symptoms.

Did you fix your problem? I too have Windows 10 and nothing from here works:

The Port tool says  SUCCESS and that I dont need port forwarding. I did it anyway (port 16000 as in the above link). But the tool uses ports 30000 and 40000 for checking. Should i forward these instead?

 

Anyway. I have tried the origin ultimate bundle (+ Bibbers Connection patch) and a standalone generals + ZH and nothing worked...

[theblackzer0]

i stil have problems and just gave up on making it work.

I found the solution! Moderators please add this to the Common Issues - Connection Problems Pinned Thread (https://forums.revor...sues-solutions/)

 

Please spread the news to all players with newish internet connections! Took me a week to find this out..

 

I have a relatively new internet connection (UPC Austria 75Mbit - Router Technicolor TC7200.U) which uses IPV6. Here is how my connection looked on http://ipv6-test.com/ BEFORE I solved my problem:

https://ibb.co/hsfK6Q

There is also a Ping Tester button and when I clicked that I would timeout on IPV4, but correctly ping IPV6. I assume you must be able to ping IPV4 as Zero Hour is an old game.

 

Here`s how i fixed it:

 

You have to call your ISP and ask them to flag your connection for/as IPV4.

After my ISP did that AND I restarted my router i got this:

https://ibb.co/ipXXRQ

https://ibb.co/maNct5

 

As you can see IPV6 appears disabled and I now ping IPV4 and IPV6 times out instead. Also notice how the section DNS has changed!

 

I CAN NOW CONNECT TO EVERYONE IN ZERO HOUR ONLINE.

 

Infos on my other settings:

 

Windows 10

I have NO ports forwarded and use a dynamic IP (DHCP)

Ingame option: Port override = empty. Send Delay NOT ticked. My IP 192.168.0.x appears in both online and network areas in the options.

Generals.exe in compatibility mode + run as admin ticked.

Firewall: generels.exe added as exception - but the windows firewall is turned off anyways.

Thank you for posting that.        For the benefit of people whose ISPs are not able to support IP4, you can use a VPN to accomplish that.     Many are available for free.    Google for one near you.
