When are people usually online to play? I've figured out my troubles I think (Re: Firewall). It was the hardware(NAT) firewall! I'm in Austria, so, I'm 6 hours ahead of the US EST. Usually when I enter to play, there's 1 or 2 people there only.

Hi everyone! Thank you for your responses. 1. About the firewall. I'm using a USR8000a, NAT based hardware firewall. It's basically the same as the D-Link (and the older Linksys). They're all based on the SMC, which, these companies just bought and re-branded. The reason I'm asking about ports is, that was my first thought when I could do everything BUT connect to start a networked game. 2. THANK YOU SHYGIRL! I actually had read around and found your howto. I did get that RC patch, however, it's .86 and then they have the .91 update, which, gives me an error whenever I try and use it. So, perhaps I'll just have to uninstall/reinstall Dune2000. 3. I also got the patch 1.06 immediately, so that is installed also. Ok, off to uninstall/reinstall. Quick question, does anyone know what the Dune2000 themepack is, which is located at Westwood's FTP server? Should I have that?

Hello all. I'm new to playing online, but old at playing the game. I need to know if there's any ports I might need to open on my NAT here for my firewall? I can connect online, however, when I try and join a game, it waits the 60 second countdown, then I get a connot connect error. Happens everytime! Ok! I hope to get to play some soon and happy to be part of the community.
