Hello there,
Im seeking help with a connection problem on red alert 3, i have tried all the solutions mentioned in the forum, at least the ones i could find (portforwarded all the ports in my router and firewall, uninstalled previous vpns then reset my network profile);
The issue is that on general i can't connect with players in lobby either when joining or hosting a game, i always get a "connection in progress" message then "connection failure". However there are some random players with whom i can play either when i host or join them.
List of ports forwarded:
TCP: 3783, 4321, 28900, 29900, 29901, 16000
UDP: 6500, 6515, 13139, 27900, 16000
Here are the resultat after runing you diagnostic tool:

It appears your router and/or connection is not capable of NAT negotiation.
==> You will need to use port forwarding and possibly configure a static port.
