game: General zero Hour, Ultimate Collection

system: Windows 8.1

 

I have tryed to play 2v2 and 3v3 and every time the it says "could not connect to other player(s)"

 

No probleme playing 1v1.

 

Anything to do?

Maybe a port problem

 

Try this, choise your router and the game and follow the instruction : http://portforward.c...routerindex.htm

Make sure you're running as administrator and on Windows XP SP3 compatibility.

how can i set it to Windows xp? sP3. I followed a link with a guide for that yesterday but I could not find the place to do that?

 

Im not good in computers. Don´t know the name of my router, can I find that somewhere?

[Mathijs]

Right click > Properties > Compatibility > Compatibility Mode > Tick it and select Windows XP SP3.

 

Your router type/brand can be found on your router.

i am playing with the ultimate Collection and I connect through Origon. Is the game placed somewhere on my computer aswell?

[Einherjere]

i find my router and now it says that I have to buy PFConfig for 29,95. Can that be true?

Ignore the ads. The guideline is free

Hi.

 

Now I have testet that i run as administrator and with Windows XP (SP3)

 

I have created an static IP-adress and followed the steps in the link above.

 

I have forwarded ports for Generals Zero Hour to my maincomputer (the computer I play from, the computer with an static IP adress.)

 

I still have the same probleme.

 

1) is there anything else to do/try?

2) In the list of games there were to posibilities. To  forward ports for Generals Zero Hour or for Generals Zero Hour, Gamespy. I  forwarded ports for Generals Zero Hour. Is that right. (I play the ultimate Collection)

[s2nZo]

All ports are open? Did you checked them? Need to be sure it's right done

 

Also if you have windows firewall or any other, make a rule in them for the game and the c&c:online launcher

 

With that still don't work, try to open these port too if they arent already

TCP: 80, 6667, 28910, 29900, 29920
UDP: 432, 127, 900

[Einherjere]

I have open

TCP: 80, 6667, 28910, 29900, 29920

UDP: 4321, 27900

 

I will try to open 432, 127 and 900

 

And get back if that dosént work

The bold is from http://portforward.com

The italic is from http://help.ea.com/e...s-online-ports/

That I don´t understand what do you mean is 432 the same as 4321 or?

 

I have controlled that the ports are open. They are.

 

I just tried playing with the ports open from above. Still np playing 1v1 but Im still not bin able to play 2v2 or more!

[Einherjere]

the other players said that they think that is is me causing the probleme! They said that all other players connect

Maby its something about my ip adress

I can se that my gatewayadress is not the same as my IP adress and my gateway adress is the same as my DHCP Server. Does that mean anything

[s2nZo]

I mean ports look similar and one of the website maybe made an error somewhere.

I don't understand you exactly. Your machine must have a unique IP adress, And you default gateway IP is the same as your DHCP server,

[Einherjere]

should I delete on of 4321 or 432 then. same with 27900 or 900 and so on

[Einherjere]

When I use the trail version ofProt Forward Network Utilities and se for Static IP Address I se this

 

10.0.0.150 - Ethernet

 

Name: Ethernet

Description: Controller i Realtek PCIe GBE.serien

MAC Address 90-2B-34-60-32-CD

DHCP; No

DHCP: None assigned

IP Adress: 10.0.0.150

Gateway Address: 10.0.0.1

Subned Mask: 255.255.255.0

Primary DNS: fe80

Secondary DNS: 10.0.0.1

 

This IP Address is currently static

 

I can se that no DHCP server is "None Assigned", DHCP is "No"

[Einherjere]

and now I can´t connect to "Online"

[s2nZo]

This look correct information.

When you are on static-ip, dhcp is disable for your current machine, that is normal.

 

Well, it isn't a port forwarding problem, cancel all port forwarding u have made in your router.

 

I will rely the problem inside the staff team, i can't help you more
