I'm just starting to get this error when starting a game with a two friends at a different house. Any two of the three of us can be in a game at the same time, but then when the third tries to connect we get this failure. I'm also starting to get this failure to connect a lot when trying to get to other people, but it wasn't like this even a week ago.

Anyone have this problem, any ideas?

I have this problem with all Relic games, DoW and CoH. No matter what ports I open, I connect to maybe 1 out of 10 games, it's bullshit. FFLink and I have tried on numerous occasions to play a match of DoW together, and nothing has worked.

You may want to try looking up port forwarding in the Relic forums, and good luck. Hope it ends up working for you, cause it fucking fails for me.

Edit: or rather, the NAT issue on those forums.

Listen to me..i might have the solution..

I had about 80% of my games where the NAT issue was there.

What i did was, go into:

Type this into your web browser

http://192.168.0.1/

A log in box shoud appear and type in the USER NAME - ADMIN and then type in the PASSWORD your isp name, mine is SKY (for sky broadband).

It should log you into the router.

At the side there are some tabs, go to WAN SETUP and where it says DEFAULT DMZ SERVER next to that should be a ip. Now, look at the last box with a single digit number in it, this should be matching you computers IP.

Now minimise your internet window.
Go to RUN>cmd>ipconfig

Look for your ip and look at its last number...for example, mine is 192.168.0.5

Look at your routers ip and if the last numbers dont match change your routers last number to match your pcs ip.
If you have done all that press APPLY.

Restart your router and it SHOULD have worked, if it hasnt add me on xfire and we will talk.

What ELITE-UK basically just explained was the process of turning your Internet connection into a 'Demilitarized Zone'- meaning it has next to no security protocols or port protection at all. This is very much the 'absolute' in disabling all of your pesky firewall/port problems, so it makes sense that it should remedy most problems with Relic Online. However I would much advise that you disable the DMZ settings whenever you are not playing a Relic Online game... because it is far from safe to go about your everyday Internet pr0n surfing with this sitting enabled.

FYI, I have the same problem with Company of Heroes as well. The game looked brilliant in all the reviews/videos... so I bought CoH and the OF expansion. I found that I could successfully ping about one in 8 servers-- of which I could join about 1 in 10. It's abysmally bad net code and a shocking choice of connection protocol. Company of Heroes basically connects your (the client) computers in the same way a P2P downloading program would. It completely bombards your TCP ports with data, and thus routers get a little funny about it. I gave up after following around 10 tutorials on the official Forums and seeing no definite improvements. The 'next large patch' was supposed to make the online server all the more stable... but my problem is still 100% persisting.

Best of luck .

I've had my internet in a DMZ for a year now. No problems and it's smoothed everything up beautifully.
