Hey all,
I recently bought the Gold Edition of DoW and Dark Crusade, and installed them. For about a week, I was able to play on my home connection, and they are all patched correctly and working fine.

Then I came back to school, and now I can't connect. I sit at the "Trying to connect to online lobby" screen for about a minute, then it gives me a message saying it cannot connect, check my router and firewall settings. However, I don't have a router (I'm plugged directly into a broadband connection), and I have it set as an exception on my firewall.

I tried SocksCap, however, I'm not seeing a fix for DC, only for WA and DoW. I can connect to the LAN lobby fine. Anything else you need to know, just tell me.

Regards,
DivineBalinor

Unrecognized Windows Sockets error: 0: cannot bind

That's the result I receive when using the network tester.

Sometimes i also get that error, i dont know what the symptom is but that message doesnt mean you can play online. Keep trying the tester and it should give you a result eventually
