i have a BT Hub.. so i blame that at the moment..
dont know how to do port fowarding if thats the solution

anyone else got this problem or know how to fix it?

i also observed that when i join a custom game.. i cant pick side/team/colour etc... so thats probly because of a connection issue also.

I got that problem on Zero Hour, i fixed it by forwarding the right ports.

htttp://portforward.com :wink:

Just select the game and look for im guessing BT Home Hub for you.

It'l take you through the right steps.

You really shouldn't have to open an external port just to play a game.

That really is rubbish

i know tell me about it

someone who has a vague idea of what they're doin with port fowarding vnc to me and do it for me by any chance?

i just tried to do it

but ... no luck

Image

the hub has a number of games listed already for convenience, generals and zero hour being some...some of the port numbers are the same... so its a case of replicating and filling in the gaps... but im doing something wrong

im krap at port fowarding (dont really understand the terminology)

really annoying me this.. i'm keeping an eye on forums and that ... im not the only 1 with the problem...and apparently a lot of people have said its been an issue with generals in the past..

i have found good sites.. but not that have fixed it for me

still having this problem .. has to be down to network issue.. dont reckon a patch will sort it..

should be able to pick team etc.. but obviously something dodgy going on..

Image

here's the ports i've fowarded

Image

GRRRRRR

i have a BT HOME HUB...... gonna try netgear again and see what happens

btw slappy when i add it ... it automatically knows that its my machine...u select the device fowarding when u choose the app..

grrr... question, where it says IP in network .. are you getting your internal ip...192.xxx.x.x

or like your internet IP?
86.xx.xx.xx

have you needed to foward the ports?

also JFK.. are you ADSL BT?

do u have a dynamic internet IP address?
mine changes each time i reconnect the hub

wondered if its worth looking into DNS..

is your network DCHP?
