Error: 'Other system not responding'

[155]

Hi all,

 

I always receive in cncnet onlien gaming with Red Alert 1 the error:  'Other system not responding'!

It is when multiplay game starts with other players, after 25 seconds waiting for connections!

 

What can I do??

Some router settings?

 

Thanks in advance.

Do all games fail to connect for you ? Then the problem is on your end for sure, allow it in your firewall/anti-virus ... If that doesnt help then turn firewall/anti-virus off and re-install the game to a DIFFERENT folder (do not use the same folder again!!!!)

Thank you for your help.

Maybe the port 8054 is not open! And it is not possible.

 

I try to re-install.

nope, its not related to the port some other people had the same problem before, it also happened on cncnet4 .. i have no idea what its about... either a anti-virus program messed the folder up or a bad registry key points to the folder, i dunno

I find this happens mostly when starting a game with 6 or more players after a countdown about the connection, games with less players and the very occasional large game are fine, it might be if the game cannot synchronise everyone's connection at game start.

Normally because 1 or 2 players have bad/slow connection

if you play with random people you dont know then there is always a chance for this to happen some people just downloaded the game and didnt allow it in their firewall

 

i play with the old players only (i know every one of them) and 8 player games connect all the time
