Connection issue with radmin

[macgregor2150]

If there's anyone out there with a clear understanding of the settings and issue of getting radmin to work, I seek your help. It always worked for me and now it doesn't. And I can't figure it out. I can tell you it says radmin has no internet access but I'm not even sure if it has to. I will be so grateful if anyone can help me. Players can see my name in the game but can't connect. If there's a better way to play the game multiplayer with 6, let me know that too. Thanks.

Sure greg, add me on discord and answer a bunch of troubleshooting questions and we should be able to sort it.

Thanks Rodmuth! Though we got it to connect once by allowing this 'direct play helper' through the firewall by prompt, we're back to not being able to connect Darkest Hour via Radmin. Here's how I remember the solution we found, and it appears to have been caused by an AMD Adrenaline update on my windows 10 pc. Apparently playing DH requires a process 'dplaysvr' : direct play server or direct play 'helper'.

It's a legacy process, used only on older games. With a little more testing... Direct play is active now. If I can't connect now, I disable it, and try again. Perhaps that will activate the prompt. I have another problem now. Windows key no longer works to minimize. I'd like to fix that too. A restart has been recommended but I'm not really buying it. I know there are some people on the server more knowledgeable than I about connecting Darkest Hour via Radmin. I would greatly appreciate any tidbit of education on this issue, if not helping me test the solution.
