Host Not Found

[WarlordX40]

for some reason, dark crusade has stopped letting me play online, i was playing fine with a friend until it suddenly started to say Host not found, when we can talk fine in the lobby, we also tried direct hosting and joining but it still doesnt work, anyone know whats wrong?

How long has this been going on for? It could just be a temporary glitch with your net connection.

If not then it could be a software firewall or other security software that has updated itself and suddenly decided that DC doesnt deserve access to some ports it needs - try disabling any such software that you have running and see if the problem goes away.

Try the net tester and post your results, it seems like NAT to me.

I have the problem, too. I checked in the router and there IS a port 6112 which worked fine until now, yet the net test doesn't recognize it!
