Ok it took me many hours to get as far as i got but i recently purchased C&C ultimate collection for me and my house mate, the first brick wall we hit was gamespy was bought out by another company and they had closed everything then I found out about Revora XD after signing up and also downloading the patch so C&C RA3 launches through C&C online application (kept saying .dll file was missing) we finally got online anyways we tryed co op campaign and it says connection failed 1 2, we can play with other players on co op campaign but not each other.

 

My theory is that it may be because we are on the same router as we are house mates and typical EA didn't add a lan option for this mode, I know a bit about computers but not much about networking and port forwarding ect but if anyone knows why this is happening and has a solution I would be so grateful.

 

I can also post any additional details required

 

Please help  

thanks

That's it. This is a know issue. The way round it is for one of you (but not the other) to use a VPN to trick everything into thinking you're on different networks so the player to player packets get routed properly.       

 

You can google for a free VPN near you.    Here are some known services:

 

surfeasy.com

privatetunnel.com

securitykiss.com

 

There are plenty more around.    If one of you has access to a different internet connection (for example, a mobile connection) you could try to use that instead.
