portforward.com is free, just scroll down and find your router.

Go to the C&C95 folder, create a shortcut left click, go to options in the target line (or whatever it's called) and type in -cd. after the last " symbol.

Patch 1.06b fixes this problem. It automatically enables NoCD mode in the game's configuration file if you install it on TFD

Hello.

 

A bit new to all this Classic-game online RTS thing. Now then, my problem is a bit odd.

 

I installed both C&C95, CnCNet and Music Files from the link posted by Nyerguds right before my post, but CnC doesn't work. I don't see any games and my games are not seen.

 

A pop-up shows up saying: Port 8054 Has not been forwarded properly OR a firewall is blocking you. If your port is forwarded properly and you have allowed the program access through your firewall you will need to enable game mode or disable your firewall for this session

 

Now then, it can not be my firewall (ZoneAlarm) since i have every program related to CnC on trusted and, as such, allowed.

 

I tried using UPNP, explained by a player formerly known as Waffles (godly-something), but without success.

 

I tried using portforward.com but wherever i look for info on my Router on the internet, it says that it has no username or password, yet it won't let me connect when i click Login (in all honesty, i might not know my static IP). As such, i can't really -apply- the info from that site.

 

My router is a Trendnet TW100-S4W1CA. I have 1.6b installed for C&C95.

 

Thank you.

I'm pretty sure Zone Alarm is the culprit, it doesn't like UDP packets, so I suggest turning it off each time you want to play though CnCNet. (no matter if it's trusted or not)

[Zul]

Thanks for the help and suggestions, Tore, unfortunately deactivating ZA didn't do any wonders, so that's a no-go.

Have you tried using the UPnP tool?

 

Its in one of the forwarding threads.

 

also zone alarm doesn't like the way cncnet works regardless of whether it's trusted or not.

 

Try forwarding port 8054 UDP using the UPnP tool and then disable zone alarm. Then organise a game with someone, and if that still fails post again and I'll look further into the issue for you

 

There is also a bug in the port forwarding error atm and it will sometimes show when there's no problem. An update soon should help resolve it
