My problem...

[Galverizer]

So picky Well my problem is this I have changed from Telia to broadbands company and now when I try to join games over V-net or IP adress I get the msg "No game found" I havn't changed my firewall or roiter after the new internet connection and it worked with that firewall before... Good speed but no more MP, it ain't worth it

Sorry to hear about your trouble.
I don't play HOI MP myself, but if there haven't been any special problem on the HOI/host end during the period of trouble it seems reasonable to look on what has changed at your side.
It then seems likely that something has changed after all. From my experience with both those companies tech support, I would say they aren’t’ that bad. I would definitely make a try on the new providers’ customer support.
You don't need to be HOI specific when you talk with them, just provide the basics (such as Windows version etc) and then say you have an existing, installed, game that worked with the previous provider but not after connecting with them as a new provider (you haven't changed anything yourself, right?). They should take some extra care with a new customer that have left their archenemy Telia.

I wouldn't be surprised if the tech support asked why you haven't tried other on-line software. Surely you have some other relevant software/games. By seeing if other software/games work or not now is a very good way of narrowing down the problem.

If they can't be of any use at all, I would suggest you post again here with some more information. What did the tech support say to you, what software/hardware do you use etc (including HOI version). If you for some reason can't contact the providers support, just post more details here anyway.

Also, you are more likely to get informed responses in the MP forum; Castellon will probably move this there.

Phadishar, If you haven't got fed up.
Post any further details please. It would be a shame if you could continue to play this wonderful game.

I still think my suggested strategy is valid. Not the quickest perhaps, but with the most chance of sucess in the long run.
To clarify something from my earlier post: with "your side" or "your end" I included your ISP. I was not thinking of your personal stuff only. The ISP may be a third party, but the deal is between you and them.


I noticed that your current provider posted a port change on their side about 2 weeks+ ago. Maybe they blocked one port too much when they poked around? Probably not, but they would know for sure (at least by now!).

It's quite probable that they include a firewall in their service, at least mine does. The modem works as a firewall as well. Check out their website or contact customer service to find out how it can be disabled/configured.
