In Topic: Red Alert 3 - can't connect to backend server

19 September 2017 - 03:39 PM

Thanks for taking a look and I'm really sorry for having wasted your time...

 

...I had allowed C&C RA 3 and Revora in my firewall yet it turns out it is the firewall that's the problem.  I really hate doing it but I disabled my firewall just in case and it worked, I logged in and was able to browse game lobbies.  Now I have to identify the component that doesn't have a rule set up for it to allow it but at least now I know where the problem lies.  I won't be able to get to that for a couple of weeks (going to visit family) but when I'm back I'll poke about and see what I can find.

 

Thanks again for your efforts.

 

Cheers, Mike...

Hello, Sorry for the delay in trying this, I've had a lot on lately. I have just tried to connect as you asked, ToxicShock, with the settings as you asked. Hopefully you'll be able to see it in the server logs. Cheers, Mike...

Hello,

 

Thanks for that.  I have followed your instructions and this is the output:

 peerchat.server.cnc-online.net

portqry.exe -n peerchat.server.cnc-online.net -e 6667 -p TCP exits with return code 0x00000000.

 

 

Hope that helps diagnose the issues.  Cheers, Mike....

Hello, Is there anything I can do to diagnose my original issue in Win 7? Cheers, Mike...

Hello,

 

Thanks for getting back to me.

 

No, I'm running Win 7.

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1

 

Is there a Win7 alternative of the above I can type into the DOS shell?

 

Cheers, Mike...
