When me and a friend start a multilayer were both met with the issue "Firewall settings are not correct for one or two of the games" or something along those lines. Need help sorting this out. I using the Ultimate edition Origin version and my friend is using the disk version.

- I have trouble connecting to people online.

Solution 1: If you own these games through The Ultimate Collection bundle, DOWNLOAD THIS to prevent connection issues to people that don't have The Ultimate Collection.

Solution 2: User Elancore has posted several images of all the correct Generals and Zero Hour settings. Take a look at them here.

Solution 3: THIS WILL NOT WORK FOR RA3. If you own the regular editions, you can try opening port 16000 in your router settings. Go here if you don't know how. Use this to check if your port was succesfully opened. Afterwards, find your game's Options.ini (for Generals and Zero Hour these can be found in "username\Documents\Command and Conquer Generals Data", the other games can be found by typing %appdata% in the Windows search bar and opening the game's folder there). Open Options.ini, remove the GameSpyAddress = x.x.x.x line, and add the following:

FirewallBehavior = 1
FirewallNeedToRefresh = FALSE
FirewallPortAllocationDelta = 0
FirewallPortOverride = 16000

Then save Options.ini and set it to read only (right click > properties).

Solution 4: Try adding C&C:Online to your Firewall exceptions. Use Google to find out how this is done.

Solution 5: Are you using Generals or Zero Hour? If so, try opening your DMZ in your router settings. More information on how to do this can be found here.

Solution 6: Do you have hamachi, tunngle or similar services installed? Try to disable their virtual network devices and shut them down.
