trouble with playing on line

Hi kegan all that on the two threads is a bit itimadating. Ok my problem is that I carnt play over the net when I try I get the waiting for server notification up. Iv talked to activision and thay said to up date the server list which Ive done. Doesnt help. When I went to an arcade site thay told me that I Had fire walls or proxeys witch Ive been told seens that you need to load on witch I havent done. The same site said that some ports were at differnt numbers. Thay are 020625 And 000273. Im not very litterit when it comes to computers so it doesnt make much seans to me.

Well Keygen, code can be rewritten, of course, but there's no such possibility in VBulletin, and I don't think Markos would enable it if he could.

[Keygen]

Geoff, what operating system are you using?

Solv, thanks

Oh Keygen, I sometimes just LOVE how you do things. You do them very well. Looks like your Info Center is very good. But you do them for years

Im yuseing windows me

Check:

a) That you have patch 1.2 installed.
d) That you have no problem connecting other applications to the Internet.
c) That you don't have a very slow connection.
d) That you follow the correct procedure (Multiplayer>Internet)

If none apply to you try to delete servers.dat located into the installation folder and start over.

If you still have a problem uninstall CtP, delete the installation folder, restart and reinstall CtP again.

If that doesn't work then you will have to provide me with more info, perhaps with a sceenshot as well.

Dial up modem

[blackice]

If you are not networked remove the netbui and ipx protocalls. Then try again also slow your modem speed down to less than 115,000 let me know.

You could move your mouse cursor above the dialup connection's icon that shows up in the left corner of your taskbar after you are connected with the Internet, until a yellow tooltip appears. Your speed will probably show up there (not sure because I don't use ME), otherwise double click on the icon. On the dialog box that appears you will be able to see the speed as well I guess.
