I FOUND A FIX

It's ridiculously simple. All of us that could not connect should all be ashamed at ourselves for missing an obvious option .

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At least for Windows 7 (Probably more too):

1. Click start
2. Search 'cmd' and load it up.
3. Type 'ipconfig' and press enter.
4. Look for the Default Gateway and take a note of the number (eg. 192.168.0.1)
5. Load up a browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome etc)
6. Type the Default Gateway number into the URL.
7. Login to your router (The login details for this will probably be on the router or in an instruction booklet that came with it).

This is where it will differ based on people's routers.

8. Search for a Gaming Mode option. If there is one, enable Gaming Mode. This should now work! (You might need to restart your computer)

9. If there is no gaming mode, search for an option to create a firewall exception.
10. Make an exception for RA3 and open port 16000

Hope this helps

Wish it were that simple for me.  I don't have a gaming mode option in my router and have already tried opening a pinhole for port 16000.  Doesn't work for me.  Glad it worked for you though.  I was told that the issue reside with the Revora NATNEG server and it started immediately after the update at the end of July.  So... until they fix it, I and many others cannot play.

you could try to enable the UPnP-service. in some cases it is disabled by default due to security reasons. im not sure about your experience level with routers - just make sure you forwarded the port 16000 to your lokal static ip correctly. if you use DHCP, ensure to always get the same IP again after each lease.

Disable dhcp and get a static ip is the best suitable option for any gamers/game but need a little knowledge
