I had every single problem u wrote about.

so now the key to that problem was Buying the Portforward software? (im using the same btw)
 

I had this problem for sooooo long. What made it work for me was settings in windows firewall:

1) select advanced settings

2) select incoming rules (my win is not in english - you might have to interpret these steps to your win language)

there you find 2 listings named Command & Conquer Generals: Zero Hour and 2 listings named Generals. For all 4 listings individually you need to right-click each one and do these steps:

1) select Properties

2) select Advanced

3) Allow edge traversal in the drop-down menu

 

On router i have forwarded the ports zero hour use, firewall still up. Ingame options i have no port number in the firewall port override box, because it's already fixed in router and windows firewall. This fixed the problem on my win7 and on my brothers win10.

I did this too, still same problem! the override is not empty btw

i dont get it if i already forwarded the ports in my router and firewall allows the 4 generals that i have..why it still disconnecting..i guess ill need to insert the ports in the advanced settings in firewall..altho i have it in options showing the port 29900 and everything looks fine...i used to play before once every 6 7 games, now i cannot play at all! very weird!

nothing helped me here, still same problem!
