Can't connect to any games

[pukster]

I have FAF installed, and managed to join the lobby of two games (both kicked me out for being a noob or for bad ping) but prior and after those two times I have been unable to join. I am also trying to recreate the events which let me connect those two times but have been so far unsuccessful. Here is what I have tried:

• Disabling/Enabling Windows Firewall
• Enabling/Disabling port triggering on UDP port 6112
• Selecting/Deselecting "use UPnP (experimental)"
• Enabling/Disabling UPnP (in router)

I have also made sure to restart my router in between. However, I still get that "connecting" screen, but I can never enter the lobby (except for those rare two occasions)

Anyone know what I am doing wrong? Cheers.

We need your log. Post a bug report (BETA menu)

Try the following (all of them at the same time):

• enable windows firewall with recommended settings
• check if forgedalliance.exe is maybe blocked (possible)
• enable experimental UPnP in FAF, choose a different port than usual (e.g. 6543)
• enable UPnP in Router
• reboot your PC and router

I figured out what the problem was. I was using port triggering when I should have used port forwarding.

Yes, the triggering is often not what you need, even though it sounds like the right thing (my router describes it outright wrong).
