C&C:Online doesn't (yet) support the Mac versions of the games. You'll have to try and use the PC version with the C&C:Online launcher through Wine.

Is this a Mac version of the game? I am not sure if they made one, although they did for KW. If it is a MAC version, I don't think we are going to be able to help you. You need to use the C&C:Online launcher to connect to the server here and that has been written to run in Windows. We have not been able to make it work with a Windows emulator (Wine) on the MAC either.

Your best bet, I think, is to get Boot Camp, install Windows and the Windows version of the game.

KW was never made for Mac :p Generals, Zero Hour, TW and RA3 were.

This is a mac version... i'm so mad right now... paid $30 just to play this nostalgic game online and there is no solution. 

I think they won't give me a refund on top of everything... so sad : ( 

Thanks for you help anyways.

Maybe I could actually get you online for RA3... I'd need your ra3_1.12.game file though (or whatever it's called, I don't have access). If you can compress and upload that to some file hosting site, there's a slight chance.
