okay, i managed to find two people i could connect with(in two seperate games). Started the games and upon commencing, immediately the game showed the disconnect screen, without any loading-bar. The map wasn't frozen or anything, but the disconnect-bar also wasn't advancing in any way.

Does this help you understand the problem i have?

So here is a screenshot of how i configured my DMZ.

the IP adress 10.0.0.2 is the same that shows up in my KW-network options, next to the Port (16000)

Aktiviert is german for activated...

as for your suggestion that the quality might be poor... i use a cable connection, but i live in a rather old house. However, KW is the only thing that hast connection problems...

Everything else internet related works just perfectly. (streaming, webpage access, MMORPG (world of tanks) ) although meanwhile sometimes i get a connection error in youtube, that goes away after i refresh...

in any case, how would you suggest i go about "eliminating electrical noise affecting the cable between street and router". (I am not so well versed in technical terms).

I will unplug and replug everything for starters and edit this post later.

Nope, still nothing works. Whenever i get into a room, a connection is trying to be established with all present members. All members that enter the room after me, have no connection symbol at all.

And it is still only CnC3 KW that has this problem. I was playing Zerohour via gameranger before.

thanks for the help!

I had all port forwarding still deactivated (is in the port mapping options in my router), and now I activated the DMZ in my router options again now, but it still didn't work. (at least like 3 minutes after activating DMZ in my router security options)

Could it be that i misunderstood what you said about making my computer the DMZ? is that something different than activating DMZ in router options?

I could send screenshots, if that would be more helpful.

also the only connection I've been able to establish in recent tryings was to a player from UK, and a player from Germany, if that helps in any way.
